Wanderer - maybe.......just maybe not so bad

[Alexander]

*an elven male in a golden cloak and a face plate walks in and sits down with his back to the wall and writes a note*

i was chasing him as usual today when someone told me to stop attacking him and i did and he persisted for a few seconds longer and just stopped. after that he wasn't such a bad guy. i stood next to him talked with him on occasion and even went about my business of mining. I realized that though he is agrivating sometimes i personally have never seen him do anything truely evil. I know it sounds odd and believe me i never thought i'd be saying this, but i want to give him another chance. Wanderer do not think i will let my guard down to you ever, but the next time i see you i will not just instinctively attack you. If i see you doing what i considder evil i will kill you or if i am told by my superiors otherwise which is a definate possability. I do emplore them to give him a chance. One last thing do not think i am a fool like someone i knew and i will not defend him or sell him supplies.

*the elven man posts his note up on the board and gives it one last look*

i wonder what will happpen as a result of this. i hope everyone takes it in the spirit in which it was meant.

*the man sighs and tarries at the board a while before slowly walking out*

Wanderer ... ah, I know this man. He is young and angry, man people dislike him, I think. But people chat much, he never offended me. I know him as some strange, but not evil person. Why shouldn't I sell him some potions?

Yes. He holds much anger, and some uncalculatable feelings seemingly cause him to attack others sometimes. But one can pretty good come along with him other times.

[Alexander]

*the man in the golden cloak walks up to his earlier post and scribbles i was wrong over it and starts to write another one*

Today i was helping a you man new to our world as i often do and wanderer walked up and laughed and shot him with two throwing stars killing him. I gave you one chance and you blew it wanderer. i despise you and do not think that you should be allowed to roam free.  I would gladly like to see your demise and i would be even happier to be the one to cause it. Your offenses do not amuse me and will not go unpunnished.

*the man growls as he walks out disgusted*

[Damien]

Damien stands near the Boards, reading notices, mumbling to himself.
"Hmmm. Perhaps the order should collect for a prison mine, where captives have to work for the public to buy themselves out. Perhaps there can be a kind of NPC who buys gems and gold from them, and ore and coal, so they can work until they have reached the amount of money that was set as a punishment. When they pay this amount of money in silver bars, they can be let out.
So there may be needed two NPCs for such, a buyer and a seller - or is it possible both in one ?
Such money could be used to pay the NPCs working there, and the rest to support public buildings, like town walls, or a canalisation system.

Perhaps there has to be a teleporter system, that works when one uses a special one-way key for it. This key could be sold by the NPC, for a price of perhaps 50 or 100 Silver bars. All prisoners should have a shovel. Perhaps nothing else. They should be able to buy food from the NPC, i suppose bread and water..."

Shovel only gets raw material damien. Give them a hammer too, the basics. I dont think 50 or 100 bars is reasonable.. maybe for wanderer after a killing spree..

I think it should start at 2 silver bars.. even newbies could do that. then each time you go back it doubles.

[Damien]

Damien thinks a second.
"With a hammer, they could make weapons, so no hammer (only if they loose their stuff when going to prison). And there should be a cross in the mine too. And if they can sell the basic stuff, like ore and coal, and raw gems, thats enough. This will be a mine, not a workplace. When you collect one ore, you could sell it for about a half gold worth, nuggets for four, raw gems for two or likewise. A mine is no production place, only a digging place - so it will last a bit until they make their silver. That needs lower punishment fees, indeed. And without a hammer, and with the Mine merchants not buying crafted stuff, they are no master blacksmiths after the prison. Would be annoying, too many master blacksmiths, all ex-prisoners. Would throw a bad light on all blacksmiths.
And, they shall stay in the mine for a while. Perhaps with the amount of money depending on their crimes.

Perhaps the produced raw materials can be bought outside the mine, costing a bit more than the cheap buy-from-prisoners-price in the mine. That could make a nice profit for the mine, four gold for raw gems, six or eight for nuggets, and one for every coal or ore."

[Wanderer]

Hehehe. Good idea, I won't mind being trapped in a cave with others, then they couldn't run from me. My magic is high enough so i can replensih my magic infinitely with the food making spell. I will make sure the other prisoners never have time to mine, unless they pay my way first. Actually i would stay in the cave just for fun and make them mine for me so i become rich!!

If you make a prison i will Make sure i do something to warrant going to jail. You think I'm bad now, just wait and see what i can do. Also, who is strong enough to put me in a prison?

[Damien]

Damien grins and writes back:
"Great, so you make just a better punishment for all criminals. Hmm every prison may have a badguy or more in it :biggrin:
But if you drop your soap in the showers, be sure that no ogre stands in your back. "
Damien puts up his grey cloak, and walks out.

OOC: Gee i love these smilies... :cheesy:
