====== A Diplomatic Mission ====== **Date:** Saturday, March 27th and Saturday, April 3rd, 2010\\ **Players:** Anton, Daniël, Diricia, Henk, [[rich|Rich]]\\ **Level:** 1 ===== Guild Announcement ===== The [[lezhar_marshlands|Lezhar Marshlands]] of the mainland are inhabited by many rival tribes of lizard folk. The ruling Issek tribe controls access to the swamplands, which produce a wide variety of plants with beneficial properties. One of Lockenport's smaller merchant families ([[oltarn_family|the Oltarns]]) have long enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship with the Issek tribe. In return for metal, and metal-working skills, the Oltarns gain the right to harvest valuable herbs from the swamps. Access to metal has enabled the Issek tribe to retain their dominance, and the Oltarn family have built a profitable business in rare and exotic plants. Now, however, it seems as if there is political turmoil in the tribes of the lizardfolk. The ruling Issek tribe faces a powerful challenge from the violent and xenophobic Veshk tribe. The guild has received a commission from the Oltarn family to try to resolve the deteriorating situation, diplomatically if at all possible. The notice in the Guildhall suggests that this is an assignment suitable for any Irregulars skilled in diplomacy, and also recommends that diplomats be well guarded, due to the dangerous nature of the mission. There is a reward of 1200 gp to any group able to ensure that the Oltarns can continue harvesting plants from the swamps for the foreseeable future. The Oltarns have agreed to provide an additional allowance of 300 gp for any supplies that the assigned group needs to obtain before leaving Lockenport. ===== Gralik's Mission Report ===== **Case number:** 209/11/008 **Irregulars participating:** [[wizen|Wizen Jnr]] (1077), [[stoella|Stoella]] (1069), [[clunk|Clunk]] (4671), [[leetor|Leetor]] (1337), [[qira|QiRa]] (4111) **Leader:** Leetor **Summary:** The assignment was to visit the [[lezhar_marshlands|Lezhar Marshlands]] and resolve the conflict between the Issek and Veshk tribes, so that the [[oltarn_family|Oltarn family]] could continue business.
