The tax list.

[Kiran]

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.

This Shadowhand, is infact Kelban After reading the Baronial Decree in a public place I chose to don my uniform and tax a local elf whom did not appear on the ledgers. Upon requesting only the 100 Gold for his ears, he asked for a word in his office. I assumed to gather the payment or attempt a negotiation. No he chose to reveal to me a mask in the exact resemblance of Kelban's face. He then told me that if we tried to tax him again or caused any woman to get hurt he would use his "information" to have Kiran Burned. He then threatened me with harm and handed me a sum of 10,000 Coins. I assume as advanced taxes. . .  or to flaunt his wealth. 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.

*Signed flamboyantly*

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..

[Garak Nightchill]

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.

[Kiran]

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.

[Garak Nightchill]

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.

Race: Human
Number of spells: 64
Total tax:  Rounded up to 640 - PAID - Mask "Roland"
Other information: Not very cooperative.  Only paid up after repeated orders by Cadet Milako and other officers.

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 :<  )
