Quote from: Subject: The Vice Chancellor of Tlonsiyya.
Objective: Convince him to lax the time of our obligations in manpower.
Why: We need labor to build the new district. Sending these workers to Tlonsiyya will require us to hire more workers and go over-budget (of which it is 500,000 dinari).
Details about the Vice Chancellor:
- He enjoys his excesses. It is said his personal ship is like a pleasure barge. He smokes frequently, he is bulbous from frequent feasting.
- It is said he used to love tormenting Deputy Chief Scribe Bashir. He is a bully, who exacts humor from someone small and good-natured being given reason to panic.
- His diplomat Raonn was most displeased when he was not greeted with ceremony and pomp. Both he and the Vice Chancellor seem to share an affinity for spectacle and praise.
- They are crass. Raonn swears as the Qadiran sailors do. Elegant words will not sway them.
Strategy:
- Greet The Vice Chancellor with music and rose petals. We will bring a palanquin to carry him and the Legates. (Hire bards from the Krak de Roses.)
- Treat him to mizzar or other narcotics on the travel. Treat him to Well water, when he thirsts. Fan him with palm fronds, for a man of this much mass will not enjoy suffering before the sun. (Ask Themis if he can acquire mizzar for cheaper than Elossi's.)
- Treat him to dinner, host him somewhere that is not the Palatial Pyramid (La Casa Manta is a good suggestion.). The rest of the delegation will meet the Legates and the Vice Chancellor.
- Ease into the subject of our dues, and affirm that we are fulfilling them. Provide a date that will not conflict with our needs.
Diplomatic Attache:
- Jamileh Attar (Jamileh has a history with the Tlonsiyyans, and was the original signator of the agreement for the war. Jamileh is crass, it is easy for her to translate our interests into barroom rambling).
- Apothar Zol Nur & Nadiri Eva Keter (They also seem to know the Tlonsiyyan diplomat, and spent time in the Vice Chancellor's company as they pestered DCS Bashir for fun.)
- Niamh Amoinn (She is as pure as freshly fallen snow and is perfect for the role of a jester, for him to pester).
- The Legates.
- Chef Ritz Orton or Talhah al-Qasi (Chefs that will cook the feast that satisfies the Vice Chancellor.)
