So...um....what did Kar and Laura eventually agree to, in simple terms, for the Post? Is there anything Laura will need from Tarna that I could help with?

As it stands right now, the post will be administered by Kar, but run jointly using laborers from Laura. We get equal profit, and a 10 percent trade concession on other goods from Kar.

They are allowed no more than 200 warriors there, and no more than 3 ships within a day's travel of Laura. We are responsible for river and tarn security, they get the land part.

I still don't like having them so close though, so likely the mischief isn't over, since there is still a meeting with a mysterious stranger to see to. Let me know when you want to do that. I don't know if we need anything else at the moment, we really don't have need to drop prims or anything I suppose.

I am writing up some announcements today to send to our peeps, I will send them over to you also if you would like, so you know what's up.

That works for me. And yeah, I'm hoping to get these ROC finished tonight so I can release tomorrow. So hopefully I can get that meeting in

The one Sabi has been wearing is teh awesome, btw.

:::Stumbles from the Tavern having just drunk his way through the super sekret meeting of the Paga Bums of Gor, his mind now throughly numbed and hazed with the strong drinkies (hiccups) he babbles forth the following plan for Tarna:::

First, all island inhabitants will be rounded up and enslaved, a portion for use as kettle and Paga slaves at the Taverns of both Port Kar and Laura, another portion as pleasure slaves to service the Red Caste of each City and the left overs found unsuitable for either service will be sold at auction, the proceeds being split between Port Kar and Laura.

Next, one end of the island will be clear cut to build the prison that will provide the laborers for the mines to be established in the islands extensive cave system and the forced labor woodcutters to feed the needs of the twin cities from the forests of the area. Mines that have run out of productive ore will then be backfilled with the garbage brought in on barges from the growing cities.

:::hiccups... yeppers.. that about covers it.. any qieeestions should be addressed to the nearest passed out warrior.. this assuming that you can rouse him:::

Well, when you come to, Master, please go and get your brother Fuzsea off the raft where his girl kate has rescued him but is just now polling into Laura. She looks near exhaustion and could use a strong man to help her get him ashore. I'm sure he'll be interested in learning of this new direction and the declared ending of the written story in the GorFor.
