Trajan calls for a town council

[Rule Hound]

OOC) We will need more details on HOW you intend to identify and tell all the mortal Pagans and Moors, if there are any. Keep in mind other than to your personal servants you are just another individual among dozens (hundreds) of merchant or merchant families in the city. Also, you are active during the night when most citizens are in their homes except for those out drinking. All personal parties and such have been cancelled (as the Merchant/Nobles are now hoarding their food and drink and mostly hiding behind their own walls. Only meeting when they have to.

[Fia]

Fia steps out of the meeting for a moment to have a word with Inda as she was within the walls during lock down. Fia requests that Inda spread the word with any friends who may share her pagan beliefs, that they should do as Isis suggested. Inda is not to put herself at risk in case there are Christians masquerading as pagans to draw them in, simply share with friends that she knows to be pagan and ask that they pass it along.

Fia returns to the meeting. "I have some small skill as a carver, I could attempt to craft crosses to be shared among the pagans for their cover. They would not exactly be true crosses, but close enough that the Christians would not know the difference, only think they are a little crude as if made by unskilled craftsmen." (OOC - I don't have my sheets with me but I believe Fia has crafts 1 in carving).

[Fia]

Fia clears her throat. "My huntswoman has informed me that the humans are very adept at hiding from such events as this, why do you think they haven't found anyone yet? "

"They would prefer your help in hiding yourself to encourage Alfonso and his army to keep moving rather than setup shop for an extended period of time. "

"Based on this information if you have no further need of my skills I will take my leave and see if I can be of aid to the reeve, as I cannot see any other use here for my skills. "

[Mother Isis]

You will be needed here Fia if there is going to be a fight. As well as Tyr and Jaak if the pagans and Moors think they will be able to hide then there is not much more I can do for them. I myself have no idea where to hide then maybe my place but I am sure that where he would go first.

[Fia]

"I'm not sure you fully grasp the limited options available to us. I assume you did not stick around after father Balaam was beheaded? You did not see the fight between Gunnar, myself, Alfonso and his companion? That was a simple 2 on 2,this is an army against our few. Without a way to tip the scales in our favor there will be no fight, it will be a slaughter. "

Fia shakes her head sadly, "I do not wish to abandon you all here but there is no hope if this comes down to a fight. There must be places for you to hide in the city? Some place you wouldn't be expected to seek sanctuary? Jaak, with you and your minions do you know of a safe place to hide her? "

[Jaak Alemayehu, Shango Kholo]

*grinds teeth*

"I'm sure the Doge and I can come up with something, if she needs assistance."

[Storyteller]

Trajan with a forlorn look on his twisted face speaks, "Fia it would be wise if you made trek to the Reeve to report this situation no matter how dire it is."

"Our survival here is the city will rest upon our skill to remain out of sight long enough for Didaskalos' army to reach us," he says, "but for the short time we have left it best to prepare our havens."

[Fia]

With that Fia looks relieved. She takes bat form quickly and wings rapidly away.

[Mother Isis]

Good luck Fia do be careful stay hidden as there are threats in the air just as on land.
