He would be able to guess much about things he doesn't know (Numbers of men available to the Faction); but he still wouldn't be able to send the news to the rest of the Faction.

"James, look at this one," Founder gestured at a painting. "It's a square. It's just a bloody white square."
"It's a JaCoque, Ben. That thing's worth several hundred thousand." Stigbalathad replied, mildly bemused.
"That's absurd! I could do better in five minutes with bucket of paint and a roller." Founder exclaimed.
"I don't doubt you could, Ben, but Jacoque spent several years working on this. I suppose the point is how much time he spent on it, rather than the piece itself."
"Hmph. I'm going flying."
"You can't Ben, we've been over this. Orville's got those black-powder weapons. They could easily shoot you our of the air."
"Damn and blast! Then I'm heading out to the island. Sebastian?"
"Yes sir?" Sebastian appeared from just around a corner.
"I'm going out to the island."
"Sir, the lowered water level means we can't launch the boat, sir. You would have no way to return."
"Then I guess I'm stuck in here with these paintings," Bennet said, resigned. "You know, I bet I could do better..." he mused.
Sebastian left quickly to fetch some canvas that wasn't worth more than he was.

SpoilerThat would be most agreeable, however it is quite unlikely Orville would accede his occupation of our homes peacefully. As the Champions and the Wren have seized his home, he would have nowhere to return to. It is a sad state of affairs indeed.Last edited by Nyrt; 2013-02-20 at 03:30 PM.

Orville is a gentlemen adventurer, much like many members of your society. If it weren't for politics and family business, perhaps things could have been different between you. I believe I can persuade him, that if he resumes his travels, perhaps in time his home would be restored - nobody can predict the tides of fate after all. I thank you for you permission to engage in diplomacy, before swords.

Spoiler
''I have recently heard, that there are issues with housing for the King James's troops. As Sausage Guild, due to their circumstances find it difficult to provide such space, I believe the perfect solution would be the Military District, that the Wardens have recently constructed. It's a perfect place to house the soldiers, and it would let them defend the city, in case of an attack.''
Edit: SGA [PM]
Spoiler
House Laurier/Mercantile Guild
I wanted to propose a joint project of sorts. The Old Fisher Houses have made their fortunes from the river and the lake. And now their situation is rather… precarious. If Lord Laurier were to command Lake and River, then he certainly could come to their assistance in these dark times and earn their respect and trust. As for the Lake, as I’ve said, White-Stripe Mages are prepared to work on the project to restore the Lake, with sponsorship of House Laurier. As for the river, it would require control of the Underdocks, which Bloodhaven has, and hopefully, with Hosue Laurier patronage would keep and assistance of the Shipwright Guild. Now, I believe Mercantile Guild can promise full cooperation to the House Laurier, if you were to assist them in securing support of the Shipwright Guild with your silver-tongue.
House Laurier
I’m not certain, if you paid attention to the investigation into certain Merdallan Knight in the Embassy Row, that SGA once conducted. As such, it came to me, that you being [Foreigners] from the same nation as said knight, might make more sense out of it and perhaps make certain that the Knight’s designs are to the advantage of SGA and House Laurier.

The Sausage Guild to the Church of Neposh
SpoilerYour help would be most appreciated in providing food to the hungry this month so that we can concentrate on restoring our farms.
SGA + House Laurier [PM]
SpoilerFood for the Hungry
We will provide some funding for buying additional food, but most of our efforts will be towards restoring our own vaults. After all if we do not do so then we will still be in this situation next month, and buying grain that has to be transported through the wastelands is no long term solution.
Heladuits
We will not be attacking the Heladuits as we do not in fact know for certain if they are behind the dam breaking. To be perfectly frank we believe that the many allegations against them with no proof are becoming worrisome. If there is any proof that the Heladuits broke the dam then show it to us now. Otherwise we will be investigating the matter more fully before we commit any guards.
The Sausage Guild to the Champions of Sovereignty
SpoilerIt is not a matter of safeguarding our equipment but of using it. Everything we have must go towards repairing the vaults which feed the city. We can afford to leave nothing idle. Not to mention that some of that equipment are the temporary barracks which house our own men. And while we can understand the plight of Sky all we can suggest is that you reign in your men as if it is a choice between their welfare and the welfare of the entire city we will always choose the city. Despite their wealth the people of Sky have no more claim to our aid than those of Runner's City.
All we ask is for a month to repair our vaults and then we will willingly return control to you. Which we believe is entirely reasonable even without the dam breaking as you gave us no advance warning that you were returning. If you wish us gone faster we suggest using any influence you have with the Wardens to let us take control of former Ram territories now that they are leaving the city.
We would also support the use of the military district for your men as Bloodhaven suggested. The Wardens already have ample room and can certainly spare a few barracks for a few months. But that is between you and them.Last edited by ArcaneStomper; 2013-02-21 at 09:56 AM.

Are you accusing the good butchers of Sav Altulas of using vat grown meat or meat which is not real. Because neither allegation is true, and we demand that you take back your slander.
Especially as Tregon Orcs were involved in the attack which forced our workers to defend themselves rather than respond to the flood. We did not think there was a connection, but this may force us to reconsider.

Would you be interested to work together to establish this new flow of food?''

I suppose it's possible that Heladuits are innocent. Maybe they even didn't steal all of SGA money. Did you check behind the desk? Sometimes papers fall in there - maybe all of funds we worked our hands bloody to earn are just gathering dust there?
Edit: I do believe Heladuits are guilty of at the very least theft of SGA funds, you can't deny that. As your men would be needed to fix the damage to the Vaults, I understand, if they can't be there. However, Bloodhand himself is but one man, when it comes to digging tunnels. On the battlefield, he would be something else entirely. Can you spare him?
How do you plan to approach fixing of the flooded tunnels situation?
Zemalac Only
Spoiler
Okay, looking at the map, there is a river flowing into the Lake. If we seal the breach between Lake and Metro tunnels and then used hydrophobic charms to redirect more of the river’s flow into the left arm, which feeds the Lake, it would be replenished swiftly. Would I be right in that assessment? Fisher Houses saved, Yay!
I pitch this plan to Laurier and provide hydrophobic part. As long as they fix the breach, situation gets resolved. Laurier can go to Fisher Houses and offer it as a solution in exchange for considerations...

Re: Total War: Broken City, Book 2
The Sausage Guild to the SGA [PM]
SpoilerWe never said the Heladuits were innocent. No doubt they are behind the SGA fraud, and they certainly killed quite a few people in the latest riots. But we don't know for certain that they did in fact break the dam. And we are not accustomed to sending bloody retribution at people we are not certain even deserve it.
Plus two facts. First our guards are also our workers. We need to repair the vaults in order to the city, so it becomes a question of whether we wish to exact vengeance or rebuild.
Second as you may have noticed when the rioters attempted to attack the Heladuits last month they were turned to gold by Heladuit magics. That is a vile defense we don't want for any of our own people to suffer the same fate. Do you have an answer for it, and for the apparently magically augmented persuasion of Marcus Heladuit?

SpoilerGreetings. You may have heard of the food shortages over in Runners City. Despite the Orks meat, I don't think that problem is over yet. I am in the process of building a fleet of specially designed grain barges to help prevent it from getting worse.
However, that won't solve the short-term situation since the barges aren't finished. I plan to use my fleet of merchant cutters in place of the barges. Could I count on a small investment from you gentleman to help me buy enough grain to feed the city this month? I will make sure word gets around of your aid.

Sausage Guild to the SGA/House Laurier [PM]
SpoilerFood Situation/Bloodhaven
You are overstating the situation considerably. First there will not be rioting in the streets unless someone provokes the riots, which admittedly is a concern but one outside our control. The situation is bad yes, but it is not grim. There is still food in the city. People may need to tighten their belts but they will not starve.
Second you are insulting us by your continued insistence on our contribution. Last month we put fully half our capital towards providing food to the people free of charge. How much did you contribute.
We have always done our best to feed the city no matter the cost and no matter the situation. And we have succeeded for over a century. This is our field of expertise. Do you truly think you have a better grasp on how to approach the situation than we do? Truly?
We are also somewhat disgusted that you reproach us so much for attempting to enact a long term solution, when you yourself are merely using the situation to your advantage by pushing the Lauriers to take control of the Fisher Houses.
Tell us, for all your efforts to persuade others to feed the city how much of your own money will be buying grain this month? How many of your own soldiers will be attacking the Heladuits that you hate so much? Are you willing to actually aid the SGA or merely reproach others for not doing so while your own coffers swell from private projects.
If you are truly willing to make a commitment then we will match every coin you send towards purchasing food for the city. If you are not then there is no more to discuss.
Knights Far Afield
Despite no one asking us, the ones whose territory they actually operate in. We will tell you that we have been keeping track of the Merdallen knight and his associates. They have become more active of late. We do not know there aims exactly, but we know it is connected to the Wardens and something happening to the north.

Laurier
Traitor’s Bridge
''Wardens have agreed to cede control of their checkpoint at the Traitor’s Bridge. And we believe House Laurier is the best suited to control it. Perhaps if you could make an order with Silversmith’s Guild for some new decorations or liveries to place at the checkpoint, so wealth of the House Laurier is prominently displayed to all visiting merchants?''
River Trade
''Between my control of the Underdocks and Mercantile Guild’s growing influence with Shipwright Guild, I believe you have all tools at your disposal to expand the river trade.''
Runner’s City
''I can’t miss the fact that a lot of resources of the Guilds go into keeping situation in the Runner’s City from exploding. Perhaps if Runner’s City was better managed it could be avoided? According to the rumors, Ram is leaving the city and their territories are rather well developed, compared to the rest of the Runner’s City and they provide nice access to the territories of the Technist Guild and then to the Underdocks.''
''The people in the Ram’s territories had the notions of choosing their leaders hammered into them by the Ram – why not have them chose House Laurier? If you participate in the grain barges project, then I’m certain Mercantile Guild can lend most of the credit for feeding the hungry to you and I’ve got considerable resources to effect effective persuasion.''
Sausage Guild
''Apologies if I came too strong. But when Bloodhand was dying, I've assisted you with healers, techniques and my contacts, all free of charge. Oh, there was that favour I asked, but I believe it was balanced by a personal contribution of [4 WEL] from my pocket for the treatment. So I'm not just out there to fill my own pockets and use SGA as I wish. General Brador of the Mercantile Guild is alive thanks to my efforts, and I didn't ask for any payment, though Mercantile Guild is generous with their donations nevertheless. And if any members of SGA were to suffer critical injuries, I will be there to save their lives, free of charge.''
''Now Heladuits have stolen from SGA, an organization that I founded and promoted from the start. They were involved in explosion in the Southern Factories, which makes me responsible. Plus, I strongly suspect that they did something to my man, Ascott Lascelles. And it feels like Sausage Guild is ignoring the situation. I understand your arguments and why you wouldn’t commit your troops to the fight and I will hold no hard feelings over it, but maybe you have some other way, you can help us?''
''And yes I’m using the situation to our advantage. I’d rather have SGA strong and able to resist any taxes, tariffs or property seizures the new powers in the city may wish to impose on us. Does anybody here wants to have Gregorian troops housed in our private residences? Haven't Champions wished to move in on their old territories, despite the situation you are in and availability of better alternatives? I do not believe they yet replied you over this issue. What if they insist?''

Beneath the Wallen family manor
A gauntleted fist slams into the door to the armories, once, twice, three times. The voice that so often rallied the people of Runners City booms down the extensive tunnels that House Wallen kept beneath their mansion. "Wallen! Let us not end this in darkness and slow death. I offer you what you offered my King. Face me. In victory, you will be allowed to flee the city with your life. In defeat, you will die with sword in hand. "
The small escort of Order men throw their weight behind the ram, and the sealed door bursts open. In the open doorway stands the man known to the city as the Wren, clad in dark plate, and brandishing the blade that ended Redeye. "Come, my lord. Let us end this in the daylight."

We would like to affirm the friendship between our groups. Soon, our troops will be patrolling both Deadman's Hill and extensive territories beyond in the Runner's City and Military District, as well as Spicer's Circle on the other side. We would like to ask whether you would be amenable to a lasting agreement of some sort on our men passing through Lomb Circle when they need to move between these two areas, as the most direct route.
We will of course be soon retaking the Underdocks, but the river is a slow and difficult route to arrange such transportation at a constant basis.
