Memo - Letter from Largo Rock

Document: Letter from Largo Rock
Found in: delivered at the Step Forward Inn

'Ibushin, this is Largo.

You were really screwed over by the press lately huh? I laughed so hard at the first interview I nearly pissed myself. It was very obviously cut-up and made. We got the publication a day after I got your letter, so I was up to date with your return, still it was a shock to read all that trash black on white. Damn are you unlucky.

Anyway, your letter arrived to my hands not a moment too soon. I am in need of some brave lads that will run an errand for me. As you probably know already, the Varsuvius graced the Kimon area with a huge belch a few months ago. A belch big enough in fact to destroy millions of GP worth of property, kill several hundred people and cover miles with ash and molten magma. It's odd, since the huge bastard had been asleep for centuries now. Not only have we had problems cleaning everything up and getting the rebuilding going, we also have two big issues. One is looters, and the other is the People's Parliament.

The one I'm currently concerned of is the People's Parliament. Imagine, if you will, enclosing 40 people inside the same room to discuss delicate matters of economy, politics and state. If this doesn't upturn your gut, imagine they're constipated so bad shit is coming out their mouths, in the shape of words, and you have an idea what I have to put up with every other week. The current pain on my neck is called Berto Vangali, Parliament representative of the Guild of Miners.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but this one is abusing the privilege. One thing my government never stood for is trying to profit from my own people's disgrace. Unfortunately, there is a GP in it, an easy one to boot: this asswipe made a motion that the next issue in discussion at the Parliament concerns taking advantage of the land dislodgement in the Kimon area to mine for a specific kind of ore which can only be achieved from magma rock. The resulting product would bring a lot of cash in for the government, since this ore can only be reached normally on the depths of the ground, and this, as you may guess, is a costly procedure. The problem is, this is government only profit: the Guild of Miners would be paid in full for the job, and that's it. Kimon City alone housed thousands of people who lost their homes and need to be allocated, and it would only be fair a part of this mining expedition goes to a fund for housing these people. Less weight on taxes. Still, this part, he doesn't like that much, and on the latest ratings, the Parliament seems to be pending for him.

Of course, I could discuss the issue until the cows came home on the next Parliament meeting. But I'd rather use my saliva and my time doing other things, so I figure it's time he tasted a little of what people around in Kimon are going through. I have enough problems with the Church of Paladin at this point... if you are willing to drop by for some details and to teach this one not to step on my heels when I say no, I would reward you accordingly.

As usual, you are also invited for the Festival of Fire - March 25th. We're in for some good stuff this year, so don't miss it.

Best regards,

Largo Rock"
