Focus
Yes there can be multiple focuses, in fact that is one of the key factors of the ritual. Be determining the strength the of the resonance with a particular focus, and using several focuses we can more particularly identify a specific person. For instance currently we can differenitiate between members of the Sausage Guild, residents of Gilded, members of the SGA, and any other residents of the city. With more focuses we expect our resolution to increase significantly. Plus more focuses make the system more secure. If an enemy determined one focus they could likely remove the source of the sympathetic connection with themselves. With multiple focuses it becomes harder and harder to avoid all connections. Not impossible of course, but we doubt the majority of the cities spies will take to living the lives of ascetic monks just to avoid the grid.

As for currency there is no need to make up excuses. Working with the Exchange we have already begun the distribution of a new Sav Altulas currency which is substantially better in terms of durability and proof against counterfeiting. We expect it to come into common place use in a few months. And of course we have the prototypes to use as focuses.


Runic Guides
Right now just Gilded. We hesitate to place the guides without asking permission first. Laying magic rituals beneath people's feet could be taken the wrong way. Expanding them beyond gilded will require some finesse and tact, which is why we have decided to contact others at this point.

Downline
As you may know we have been extending our metro on a fairly regular basis. You have already hit upon the fact that we could potentially run runic guides through it. What you don't know is that the metro itself has been dug in the shape of a single massive rune. It is not perfect of course, we had to tunnel where we could, but the closer to the rune which our metro aligns the more powerful the final Grid that can be based on it. Downline lies precisely on the rune. We could divert around it of course, but it would disrupt the pattern much more severely than a slightly misaligned tunnel.

Resources
Right now we would most like to finish the metro and its rune pattern. For that wealth would actually be more suitable in hiring laborers to dig the tunnels than your mages would be. We would also appreciate any assistance in sweeping the territories we have acquired from the champions for spies, or sweeping Fat Tippest for booby traps left in our Metro station there. Neither is critical to the project itself, but it would allow us to focus more of our own resources in that direction.

Gear's Chosen
We would rather not use our men as enforcers for a legal verdict. We find it slightly distasteful, but we will support the outcome of the verdict if necessary.
