The Ishval War 4: A Few Good Men
(Logue Lowe POV)
Article Reaction: 1D100 => 87+30 (Showing Empathy in a Time of True Horror)=117
You looked to your people, the councilors of Ishval, and the men of the priesthood. The Events of the last month had shocked many of them to the core…
The young were furious… wishing for decisive action against the men who had killed so many of their fallen friends and family, to drive them out of the region.
But the article that was published a few days ago… that gave you hope, that perhaps the hearts and minds of the people could be changed… that this violence would not last any longer.
"My brothers and sisters." You spoke quietly. "Now is not the time for such a wave of terrible anger to hold over us. Those that seek to dominate us, wish to do so with a terrible resolve, to turn us against Ishvala's message, and to unleash their fury upon us… That is not what we will do… we will not give them that satisfaction."
"Logue please." The young man in front of you begged. "We cannot allow these deaths to go unanswered!"
"And they will not…" You stated firmly. "For that… you have my word. But we will exhaust all other options… Before more violent mesures must be taken."
You than looked to the young monk that was sitting beside you, the unofficial bodyguard of one of the temples… a man with a grim, serious look on his face. "Joshua." You stated.
"Hmm." The man said quietly.
"Go find Alfried Alitree… and assist him if you can. When we cannot reach the ears of the world for our plight… his can. Make sure it remains unopposed."
The Monk nodded. "Yes Prophet."
"Go with god them my child." You stated.
Were you right to send this man to potentially die for your people?
No.
But was it needed for your people's survival… Yes
Reward: Joshua/Scar will Arrive next turn to assist you

You smiled at the pages of War Stories. Even with the Blockade in the City, with the potential for the Press to be censored…
It still came, uncensored.
It filled you with a sense of Joy… Joy that was quickly replaced with ash.
The violence wouldn't stop… but you could expose it… you could stop at least something from getting worse.
Now you just needed to work…
Keep working until you were in chains… the work was done…
Or you were dead.
You have 5 Actions:
[]Investigate (The Disappearances): Jasmine Point… that was where all the people were being taken.
[]Reaserch (Ishval/Amestrian Tension): You can always use more context for the fighting.
[]Investigate: (General Fessler): What the hell is such a man doing running this sort of operation? He should be sacked for his incompetence.
[]Investigate: (Logue Lowe): The Great Sage of Ishvala, the Fifteenth Prophet of Ishval, the Spiritual leader of the whole nation. And an outspoken critic of the Amestrian occupation. What is his story?
[]Investigate (The Unknown alchemist): You need to know who the hell is that Alchemist… you need to start digging in the archives… hopefully before they aren't burnt to the ground.
[]interview: (THe Rank and File): it seems that the soldiers are discontent withthe lack of proper equipment. You will allow them to vocalize their complaints.
[]Write: You need to write a story and sent it to the Paper… The more you know, the Better. (You must line tail what you want to write about. The More thorough and well-written, and using the information you gain from investigation/research/interviews, the better. Writing about anything without doing the research may hurt the Papers Popularity, and ruin your fellow staff members relationships)
Personal Actions:
Current Money: 230,000 Cene.
[]Ishvallan Alchemists?: Ishvallan religious doctrine frowns upon Alchemists… but there has to be a few running around.
[]The Humanitatiran front: There are some doctors… priests, all sorts of people coming to help in Ishval… might as well see what you can do to help.
[]Pragmatic Choice: Ratting Out: You need to buy yourself some time… so what's a few names being given to keep people off your back.
[]School of the Lion: You trained for a few years as a martial artist… of an Ishvallan School… You think there might be a Teacher around here to help.
[]Train: Your hand to hand skills are getting Sloppy… you need to practice more… the work at the desk is making you sloppy…
[]Remember the Gate: What did Truth Say to you when he took your voice? You need to Remember.
[]Messages from Home: You need to see if you have anything from home… maybe from Uncle, Sarah or Marshel?
AN: Enjoy. and plan format please.
Moratorumn for 3 hours. I'm off to the super bowl.
