Agenda

Bandits are becoming a problem again

  • Shift Funds from managing the pirates to managing the bandits
  • Hunt them down in the woods
  • See if any Felicitoro families want to assist for renown
  • Settle things with Luvik

The Luvik pirates have taken a major blow after their attack on the Oak Harbor docks. Plans are in place to try and settle things with Luvik, but for the time being the town council votes 5-0 on shifting the town funds on managing the bandits.

Proposal from the Ternacenti

  • Hoping to expand into Oak Harbors ports instead of rebuilding in Kresa.
  • Shipwrights would be sent for this project, which would give Oak Harbor Access to Ternacenti shipwright knowledge and assistance.
  • They are looking to lease, not own harbor space
  • They are willing to follow Oak Harbors rules about keeping up with maintaining the balance of Everish Ecology
  • They will need labor for clearing monsters and expanding the harbor
  • They are not asking for exclusive acces
  • The Ternacenti will provide funds and payment tho those helping with this project if it is accepted
  • “What are you really up to”- Militia Captain Mogudad
  • “Nothing” - Meastra Lassia
  • If this is accepted between gathers focus or labor related bgs will be needed (Info to be provided by staff)

Town Council voted 3-0 with two abstaining for the following offer to the Ternacenti
“The Contract must be made with oversight from the Davenstern, and must be under a White Forest Trading Company project manager. The lease will be for no more that 1/4 of the docks, and will be for a 1 year term with room for extension.”

Proposal from the Zaffiro

  • Clerks note: whether or not Town Council agrees to this, the construction will go on anyway. Town Councils vote determines if we can use the building after the conclave.
  • Conclave Chambers need to be built, because there is no building in Oak Harbor that would work otherwise.
  • What is to be done with the building after the conclave? The Zaffiro would maintain an office, but that will happen either way. If the Town Council agrees to the following, they could use the other spaces in the building and the town can determine how this all gets build.
  • WFTC and Oak Harbor would provide the labor for surveying (got delayed by rain) and clearing the area for construction.
  • We would get to decide the layout of the chambers.
  • This is a PUBLIC WORKS (Clerks Note: Oh hey, look further below there is money in researching stuff about public works for the town). There will be some maintenance cost after the conclave.
  • There is 1 Large space than can be configured into a theater (that offers a bonus for performers and those who watch the performance), a warehouse (which will provide benefits to the local merchants), or an exhibition fair (to show off things from Oak Harbor to gain some benefit from)
  • There are two small spaces. These can be converted into another large space or made into the following:
  • Smithy (benefits smiths)
  • Greenhouse (for herablism)
  • rune meditation room (Rune magic stuff)
  • laboratory (redacted stuff can happen here)
  • realm library (information on the different realms)
  • davenstern post office (Help with contacts? also maybe a mailbox)
  • Hospital (Healer stuff)

The job site has already been located and will need to be surveyed and cleared. Labor may be needed in subsequent gathers. Everything we know about these chambers is listed in the Town Council notes. The Town Council votes 6-0 in favor of this proposal.

Trade Routes:

We currently have three operating Gem Mines, sufficient for a trade route. Ting’m wants to send this trade route to Lenmiri, but the Ferrari, a Felicitoro house with a number of miners and smiths want the trade route aswell. Additionally, the Obnovare are interested in the Luxury foods trade route and are based out of Lenmiri. Research suggests that at the moment we are unable to send more than one trade route to a location. If we send the gems route to Lenmiri we would be unable to send the luxury foods route to the home of the Obnovare. Ralden and Celiere however, are towns that would be able to take the gems trade route, and we should reach out to those towns.
No decision on where to send trade routes was made.

  • Caldune is fined 50 leaf for failing to put effort into making sure the puppets did not continue their destructive logging in the Witchwood immediately after promising to make them stop.

  • Pirates in the Oak Harbor Bay negotiated to try to gain their release. They would like supplies, their reputation to be kept in check, 300 leaf, and a writ of safe passage.

  • Town Council is unwilling to pay 300 leaf, and many suggestions of “give them supplies to fix up their ship and a writ of safe passage and that is it” are made

  • It is made clear to everyone at town council that Peleset do not like coming to a deal and then being told the deal is changing. As most of town council was not present for the deal, town council does not agree with the deal that was made.

  • It is pointed out that as these are pirates who attacked the town, we are well within our rights to send a boarding party to arrest them.

  • There is one vote for keeping the deal with the pirates. There are three votes to send a party to arrest the pirates. A boarding party will be sent out for an arrest.

The following proposals involve the Town Council discretionary fund, and as a result there were several abstaining votes. All passed with a 3-0 vote. (OOG note: please announce in TC chat if you are interested in looking into any of the paid research for spring 2 so that we can write down who to pay)

Proposal 1: Town Job Research Proposal.
Research into the following town jobs have been approved for funding.

  • 10 leaf for research into town jobs common in Daler towns. See Yorick to find out what is already know for your research project.
  • 10 leaf for research into town jobs common in towns with a heavy lumberjack population.

Proposal 2: Public Works Research Project

  • 50 leaf has been approved to fund research into Public works and Town Influence.
  • Town Influence is explained as “a measure of how easy it is for a city to get its way when cities come into conflict, and of how much the government of a city can do for a city.”
  • Research into what the conclave public works could do is important
  • Finding out if influence can be used for the construction and support of public works is important.
  • We suspect that public works will need outside assistance, looking into what it takes to set them up and what’s needed to attract the support to construct them is a topic of important research
  • Looking to see if there is a public work to ease the financial costs to properly fund the militia is noted to be of importance by several town council members

Proposal 3: The Creation and Establishment of a Town Healer

  • We have more than enough unused influence to create and appoint this job.
  • The town healer is a militia member but may not join the militia in the traditional way. They must make a good effort to heal militia members but are not required to spend all of their healing on militia members.
  • They will be paid 15 leaf a gather.
  • Once per day they can call Awaken and Heal All on the militia captain
  • Nem is appointed as Town Healer

Proposal 4: Militia Funding Expansion

  • The militia has gone from getting 9 members on a good day to pushing 20 members.
  • Miltia funding has been expanded by 50 leaf per gather.
  • The WFTC will look into partnering with the Oak Harbor Casino and the fighting pits to collect revenue to support this increase in funding.
