[X] Coordinate our movements from a high vantage point.
-[X] Commander Erica

I figure I can help the people looting etc avoid the rebels and anyone else find them
 
[X] Try to loot the areas the rebels haven't gotten to before they can.
 
It may come to blows if the rebels notice that we are looting the area. "Rebels" point to them comming out of the other part of the city (i.e. the ones that are not looted) so they may become a bit angry at us for clearing out their homes.

Rebel Diplomacy?
  • Threadmarks
    • The company enters the city through the opening you cut into the walls. The company tries to stay away from the areas that Erica said the rebels were in, when she was watching through the walls. The streets look deserted, but, the company has the feeling that They are being watched. They quickly move to the nobles district, where many of the houses have already been ransacked, but they managed to find some untouched stashs and gathered a total of 66 gold.

    Unfortunately, the soon encountered the rebels, although, this wasn't a surprise. After all, by the indications so far, the rebels have the peoples support, and a whole company going is unnoticed is pretty improbable. Seeing you looting, the rebels seem angry, and one of them, likely the leader, steps out to talk to Commander Erica. He introduces himself as Ret and is willing to let this go, because he doesn't want a fight, but he may require you to give back some or all of the money. It goes unsaid, that although he doesn't want a fight, that doesn't mean he is unwilling to enter one if given cause.

    [] Try to convince the rebels to let you keep the money.
    -[]Then go collect your reward.
    [] Give up the money.
    -[]Then go collect your reward.
    [] Offer to work for the rebels, not only will you get to keep the money, you will even be payed more! Of course, if you don't like the work they will offer, you will need to give it up or even be forced to fight
    [] Just attack the rebel group, they aren't much bigger then you. Of course, you will then have to deal with the rest of the rebels.
    []Write in

    OCC: If (after this vote) anyone wants to write an omake about the conversion between Ret and Erica, I will likely give a reward. If I like it enough, I will even canonize it and add it to this update (you can accept a bigger reward then).

    We're a mercenary group, we could use the work.

    No, we need money. Jobs give money, but they aren't the only way. I don't know how much these rebels can pay us (I wouldn't think that much), plus we can loot them when we are done.
     
    Considering they now control the entirety of this town, that they outnumber us 12-1, use tactics we've never faced*, know exactly where we are, Know the city significantly better than we do, noticed us almost immediately, and now surround us** in an environment we've not fought in before*. I would say combat, while likely survivable for at least some of our forces, is not a viable strategy here.

    *we've only fought foes in massed combat on open fields.
    **due to us being inside the city they control, and not at the wall where we could have made a chokepoint

    They control all of the money in this town, so I would think they could pay us at least as much as the last town, if not more.

    The only thing I could think of reading that and the rest is this quote.

    Their town is probably also damaged from all the fighting. Meaning, they will be needing a fair portion of that money to repair shit. Plus, unlike the other town, we haven't had a chance to prove just how bad-ass we are. They probably think we are just a normal mercenary force.

    -[X]Mention that you are on a mission to attack the city. The 'Loot' is needed to convince our employer that the deed is done and no further actions nessecary.

    I have ignored this long enough, it is time to just come out and say it. This quest is going on hiatus. This is for two reasons, the first is a general lack of motivation and inspiration, and the second is the lack of voters. A riot quest needs voters, and I am not sure that we have enough.

    Feel free to keep voting, especially if you are new to the quest, and discussing. I will take that into account when the hiatus is over.

    -[X] Don't bring it up first, they may not think to demand we give it back or even know we took it. But if it becomes clear that we can't convince them to let us keep it, be graceful about it.
    --[X]Then go collect your reward.

    Diplomatic discussions are not my forte when it comes to writing, or I'd definitely try to omake it, but I may give it a try (to kick start this again.) Ideas would be welcome.
