*The Beard observes the gate as the protections flare off. The dwarf waves his hand before him.*
"After you, Lady Shivera."
*The two of them approach the home of Mayor Trilock. The dwarf knocks on the door, as the two of them await a meeting with the mayor.*
"Here we go. For New Haven.. "

::tri Lok opens the door and see the new adventures and walks out::
::looking at the beard:::
just the people I wanted to see. I wanted to talk to you about what happen the other day and need to know if you wanted too press charges on Wolfsprit about what happen with you.. he is facing the high crime of murder for what happen and if you press charges he will be put to deaths.
::then looking at the rest of the ground:: also i hope you all saw the notes that have been posted and the new Adventure mentor ship program. after the talk we had the other day I am making a much larger push to help all the people of town.. spending most of the last 2 days talking with ever one about your concerns. This part of the world is not safe. it took us a few years to get to the point we are now and I hope this town to be a place where adventures can come and learn in safety and grow in there careers.

*The dwarf gives a slight bow out of respect.*
Greetings, Mayor. What happened last market day was unfortunate. I do not believe Wolfspirit should be put to death. The Beard is not a fan of death. How about instead of death, you cure him of his lycanthropy . I have head of that happening before. Is that an option?
The Beard believes he was not in a good mind state. Wolfspirit was teaching me a couple things during the goblins attack that morning. I don't think he maliciously intended on killing me. That is my peace on that.
*The dwarf clears his through glancing at Shivera.*
"Wolfspirit is not why we are here. We are here as representatives of The Council Of New Haven. And we wanted to discuss the future relations between our two towns."

well as the case is he could be facing 3 deaths because it is a high crime..
and what town are you speaking of I have heard of no sanctioned towns by the duke with that name and the closest town is 3 days out from here to the north. then theirs the sandpanther tribe and they don't take newcomers well other then that you have JuJu's area south of here but that would be dangerous since he is a enemy of the kingdom. we have always been the farthest away and people would fear coming out this far in the wild. luckily we have pushed juju back so its a bit safer here now.
::still looking a bit puzzled about where this discuss is going::

A voice from inside the building near the earth circle says...
"Um.. sir sorry to interrupt but the closest town is four days to the east and the lands Juju controls is just over 3 days to the west and a little south. The Sand Panther settlement is North of here in the small mountain range, and there is that camp of Thorns north east of town as well."

::Being an ambassador to a foreign kingdom holding a tenuous alliance often brings Kal to the mayor's residence. He stops dead in his tracks as he over hears the news...::
A new town?! Are you mad!? No offense to you good folk, but all that has happened here is in despite of good walls, military protection, and established trade. It has taken years and hundreds if not thousands of gold to dig this pit. And you want to leave all that and start over!?
::Looking at Tri Lok in exasperation::
Surely the Duke didn't sanction this? This far out on the frontier boardering a war zone... it's suicide...
::looking back at the congregation::
You think a werewolf attack in town is bad, wait until it happens in a town with no walls, no magic wards, and no guards. I beg you, reconsider.

*The Beard looks at the faces of those in attendance of the mayor's residence.*
We were a bit hasty in our rush to begin the town. We have the paperwork going through as we speak, albeit post fact. So we will face what comes from that. However that does not change our decision. We ran with this idea for our well being. You make great points in your concerns, Kalindyl, but we are taking all that into account.
We were not safe in shallowford and the wilderness is not known for it's hospitality, so we felt urged to build a small outpost to shield us from these things. We hope to have good relation with Shallowford, allies.
Once we clear everything with the Duke, New Haven will grow into a town to help these lands, not hinder it. Those of is leaving Shallowford for this each have our own personal reasons, but we feel this is the right move overall, for all parties.

I simply can't wrap my head around this logic. I understand not feeling safe or included in town, and that is perhaps our failure. We knew there were werewolves and brood around and did nothing. But those things don't just go away if you leave town. So one of two things is going to happen; you will be unprepared to defend yourselves and will return for the shelter our walls may offer, and New Haven becomes Shalowford... or your town will grow so that those you left behind will seek you out, and Shallowford becomes New Haven.

*TheBeard ponders his words for a moments reaching into his beard and pulling out a piece of jerky to eat before speaking*
"I believe we both towns can operate and survive, as allies. I do not believe one town will consume the other. Our goal is not to pull others from Shallowford. It's just as it is named, A New Haven."

Goal or not, I don't see how it can be avoided. If there are two places you may choose to live, and one is clearly better than the other, then why would anyone ever chose the lesser? And while your intentions may be well meant, relations between us would be forever strained. We underwent a strenuous process to gain approval to free ourselves of unjust rulership and vote for a mayor who would work for us. And rather than work within that system you would choose to undermine... ::Kal gestures to the town in general with both arms out:: literally everything.
::Kal laughs:: In retrospect I am perhaps jealous I didn't think of it myself when I lost the election for mayor. To think, I could have just left to start my own town...

*The dwarf strokes his beard, nodding his head*
"If that is how you see it, that is how you see it. Our intentions are pure and we came here seeking good relations between Shallowford and New Haven. If that is not possible at this point in time for you, then we may have to try again at a later time."

No, no, don't mistake my opinion for that of the town overall. Not everyone will see your unintended consequence in bypassing elected officials as offensive. Our mayor for example will likely welcome your peaceful mutiny not seeing it for what it is... betrayal... ::Kalindyl pauses, looking thoughtful:: Sorry, please excuse my snide comments... This is how a war between duchies started in my homeland. But I should not take my bitterness for old war wounds out on you, whom has been nothing but gracious in your replies. I wish you had called for a vote if you had wanted a change in leadership rather than splitting our little town in half. But you must do as you feel is the right thing to do. As should we all.

*The dwarf glares slightly at Kalindyl, then smirks, turning to face the mayor.*
"Do you wish to discuss diplomacy or will it have to be another time?"

Shivera still standing by The Beard's side can't hold her tongue any longer. "Umm... Before our friend The Beard arrived, when a new sheriff was being "elected" we were told that Shallowford was not a democracy and therefore our votes were null" Shivera rubs her neck growing tired of the tension. "I vote we discuss diplomacy since our new home believes in such a thing"
