> > >Burcancy Actions 1435 > >| >Actions 1-3 Subverting the Assassin and his Network >| > >| King Villard is immensely proud and grateful for his people, all of >| those who saved hm and helped him to uncover the assassins, plotters and >| their network. And his people proved quite successful at finding the backers of the assassin. They turned out to be a cabal of various dissatisfied and opportunistic organizations and individuals throughout the Tal-Wyr area. This loose cabal has no binding ideology other than the opportunity and desire to acquire power in >the post-war chaos. Dangerous but not as malignant as feared. The decision is made to continue to try and infiltrate and subvert this collection of malcontents. How useful this will prove to in the long run is unclear but they would provide clear inroads into the >discontent within adjoining kingdoms. Still it will prove good training and useful basis for the beginning of Villard's spy network. Villard continues to work with his people, military, and magic to monitor and | subvert some of the enemies. This potentially gives him access to an already established network that also has spies in his country and >| others of his neighbors and other parts of the world. Some parts of the >| network might be further revealed so that some of his new double agents >| can be promoted to higher levels and giving him even further information >| or influence or perhaps information can be fed to parts of the network >| that was left intact and monitored to influence what they know and how >| they might respond. >| >| Very Hard -2 >| Triple Action +2 (probably will use coulbe actions in subequent years >| such as yr. 4 & 5) >| 2nd yr of a 5 yr action +1 >| the extraordinary success from finding the assassins) +1 >| Villards influence/authority +2 >| the threat to the possible double agents of being revealed to the King >| of Taltheran or their brethern and their possible fate +2 >| magic skills of the Brotherhood (the mages) in controlling, influencing >| &.or monitoring double agents +3 >| reluctance of the some of the turned to cooperate or possible triple >| agents -2 > Last yrs. +4 in flushing out the network of the assassin and the leaders who sent the assassin >| >| Action 4 - Trade Concessions and Establshing Facilities >| >| After consultation w/ The Opheir (head of the Brotherhood), King Villard agrees w/ King Agrigax to the concessions he has provided.
