WDB03: Lust for Comfort, Part II

The summit grinds. Grip asks: 'Would the Magistrate Major kindly define sub-human and be precise?' Rasinia journals the outsider's truth. Devran plays a succession game and rolls a natural 20.

Lust for Comfort, Part II. The Visum summit intensifies as Cornelius Glabrio makes his case that Juramentum threatens civilization 'by its mere existence.' Rasinia delivers her first journal — 2,219 characters of the campaign's sharpest outsider analysis: 'I left home seeking my lady. And am now the secret bodyguard for the infamous young lord of the wild rebellious village trying to be a city.' She sizes up every member: 'A young lord wielding a sword of legend. A pig farmer with a goddess's touch. A boy with scaled strength. And a one-eyed scribe from the desert.' She concludes: 'Keep the muscled idiot from killing himself in this den of vipers. Good thing. I like a challenge.' Grip delivers the summit's defining line: 'Would the Magistrate Major kindly define sub-human and be precise?' Marcus makes the case for the Kithgi: 'I have lived my entire life in Pulex as a farmer. In Juramentum I see communities working together. I see no animosity between the Kithgi and the nobility.' Titus challenges Cornelius directly: 'How do you treat your slaves on your land?' The Lady Planner presides with iron will.
