Welcome to Cove

Dear brothers. A list needs to be made up for the people who are to be taxed within cove. Due to the new system we need a list, what race they are, how many windows on houses if owned, and if they posses the gift of wytchery, and exactly the ammount of spells in which they carry. It is important you write below this note in this format any information gathered, if you taxed anyone, and the information of that person. I have taken the liberty myself of doing a person (You can choose to do a report following it, it is not required however)

As more people are added to the list, it shall hopefully in the end encompass all of Cove. If any other information you wish to also notify which you find important, such as if they own a shop, please feel free to add it. If it is a human with no spells, house or odd information, a normal tax of 50 coins applies regardless. Goes for any rank or job.

He then pulled a kryss and told me to leave after I had informed him that the Grenadiers would see the Barons law upheld. He claims this whole thing was fabricated by Kiran. . . .  he just will not accept that his Baron would tax him so. We shall have to deal with him. . .  and the other elves, not one should be left standing in Cove.

This could be a report, however it is a long one, and is not required, filling out the information as it is, is fine, brothers. However more shillings are awarded of course to the larger reports, I like to see you, my brothers, working hard...

Boss,

Had an interesting first day as a taxman.  The bad news first. 

Suitably disguised as Derek the Taxman, I found my first would-be contributers.  Officer Cadet Darek Milako and Scout Corporal Aliryl Trefenwyd.  As an elf, I pointed out to the good Corporal that she owed 100 coins.  She was disinclined to pay.  The Grenadier Milako backed her up, even threatening me with a crossbow.  They both claimed they had no proof I was a taxman.  The elf even went so far as to pour wine over me.  I pointed out that as a Taxman I was part of the Household and that Grenadiers should be assisting me.  This did not sway them.  In the end they left.  I suggest you get some warrants signed by the Baron for us and perhaps ask him to issue a decree to avoid this sort of unpleasantness in the future?

It might also be an idea if you could let the Baron know that Derek has vanished under mysterious circumstances.  Mentioning a grief-stricken wife and several children worried about their father might not go amiss.   

The good news is that Arcanist Aylmer was finally coaxed into handing over 640 shillings.  He is a member of the Arcanist squad but does not own a home.  He lives in the Arcanist tower.  I'll try and discover if the owner of this tower should be paying taxes. 

I also met a Guardsman named Dem who says he knows you.  He uses the Chivalry spell book which he says holds 10 spells.  So he will owe 100 gold.  Do you know this man?

In the meantime, perhaps a group of taxmen might have more luck against this elf? 

Signed,

Mask

Splendid work, brother, I shall have a bag of 25 shillings awaiting your next meeting with me, we do have many things to discuss.

I shall update the list to include these two people. I have informed the Baron of our need for announcement, however he mentions it will be first done Sunday. Hopefully before the parade, I wish to bring this Corporal's attitude down a notch...

Good work, Brother.

Auribus Tenere Lupum

At the suggestion of the Bailiff of the Household, it has been decided that new taxes are to be enacted to raise funds for the Baronial Household and the good of the Covian Empire. It should also be noted that staff hired for the Bailiff are counted as Household staff and are thus entitled to collect taxes as they see fit.

A taxation on all elves consisting of 50 gold pieces for each pointed ear they have about their personage.
A taxation on all Arcanists consisting of 10 gold per spell they possess within their books of wytchery.
A taxation on all Army Members under the rank of Senior Guardsmen who own a home, consisting of 25 gold per window in their house.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Official copies placed by the Baron has now been set out. Now there is no excuse from the commoners and guardsmen alike not to pay taxes..

Boss,

Excellent news.   A signed parchment with the Baronial seal and signature for us Taxmen would help us overcome the excuse that they've no proof of who we are and that anyone can wear armour.  A general document such as: The Bearer is tasked to collect all Taxes on my authority, signed Octiovus Von Richter, Baron of Cove  *Baronial seal* would be most useful.

Mask

I shall have some documents from the Baron copied so it can be used. I am sure he won't mind if I use the seal on a couple of books as such, no..

Kiran.

Bersi has paid 300, he's an arcanist thogh tried to fool me with an empty book.  He'll pay the rest when he has it.  I'll update a full report then.

Me'an still refused and got into some bother with Cadet Milako who seems slightly better disposed towards us after the Baron's announcement, I'll wager.  Me'an's sister Llinor showed up.  She wore a hat though I'll wager she's an elf too.  She also threatened me.  A lesson is required here also.

The Grenadier Sergeant seems most helpful to our cause.  Corporal Trefenwyd again refused to pay, saying she had no money on her but the Grenadier Sergeant ordered her to the bank to get it.  She eventually did this and paid.  100 shillings paid to Mask "Roland".

(OOC: apologies, my screenshots cant be found.  I think I may have deleted the wrong ones :<  )

Splendid work my brother, ten shillings await you for your delightful contribution, I am quite pleased the Corporal has been taxed...

Delightful brother, I have moderated the tax list to include the two new Covians. I assume next time they will have a house to be taxed on of course hm? Seems odd such rich people are homeless...

Curious development, Maccen, I believed that this man was killed by non other then Hoagie the days in which I returned to Cove.. but a staggering ammount of ten thousand coins is quite an achievement my dear. I feel is time we deal with some of these traitors once and for all my brothers... I shall have ten shillings awaiting your arrival Maccen as per good work.

Done me proud brother.

Five shillings await you, brother, as you did not collect the coins I cant exactly reward you fully...

Good work though, quite a sum, seems higher then required mind you.. But I shall not question your methods.

Kiran.

Brothers, I was wondering if it might not be a idea to tax one another, in public, be subserviant about it, then after the coins are given back, with a bit of extra for your troubles... could work to make the public think we are all about the rules, no?

Just a thought brothers.

*Signed*
Edward.

Splendid idea, be sure to do this in public brothers however, infront of a crowd or in the tavern.

Remember brothers, enough time has passed now for you to tax everyone once more, use the old numbers and claim is a new tax week or such.

Be sure also to get people who have not yet taxed, I shall be sure to update the lists as we go along.

Lets get our dues.

Kiran.

Me and Edward taxed this Me'an Silen fellow, rather.. unsmoothly. Seems he's not a fan of our taxsquad, not only did he threaten us repeatedly, also tried to have my comrade jailed and what not. Disturbing indeed, perhaps a lesson of dicipline is in order? Your call boss!

Eitherway. While his record says he's a wytch with 64 spells, seems he aint using none. And some Grenadier fellow backed him up, so we only mannaged to tax 100 shillings from him. So in other words..

Good work Darwin and Edward, I have rewarded you both shillings already.

on a further note, I am hearing that certain citizens paid taxes, but no records of it is up, I would hate for my own men to be withholding my coins... insure you write down who you tax as per usual..

Thank you Kalam, that is all that is required, you know of what I speak of. 10 shillings for your work, ontop of your delightful apples returned.

Remember brothers, tax one another in a public place... We want this to look as legal as possible.

Kiran.

Brothers, it is time to re tax everyone on the list, and add new names. Good luck out there.
