Seizing of the Viridan Bar

[Kickstarted and Running 965]

Posters hang up around Arethor and Oren, one outside of the Viridan Bar

"The Viridan Bar is hereby seized from its previous owner, upon several charges and events occurring within the bar. The owner is responsible for the actions of his employes, and thus has lost his property

-5 Counts of assault of Imperial Royalty

-1 Count of assaulting a Privy Council member, High Sheriff Kais Ishikawa

-2 Counts of assaulting Gentry, Ser Ramdir Soulblade

-2 Counts of assaulting civilians

-2 Counts of fleeing

-Illegal gambling ring

-Theft of valuables

-Illegal traps

The bar is hereby granted to Patrick Horen, and Kai's Ishikawa to do as they see fit, whether is he return it, remove it, maintain it, or as they wish.

All employes are now let go, and items within are now part of the tavern. The previous owner may or may not receive compensation or further punishment, as he is responsible for his employes actions."

It is stamped and signed

A note is pinned under the one at the Viridan Bar

"Shouldn't have taken my damn carrot"

[Glyc 234]

Folco Wineroot walks into the Viridan and resumes his job as he cannot read any of the posters or see them due to the height they are at.

*Curses to himself as he reads the sheet "I'm goin' to kill that Sabethia dead when I get me hands on her." He the starts writing up a reply on the note*

Firstly as one of the owners of the Viridian I want have a proper discussion regarding me place.

-5 Counts of assault of Imperial Royalty Wa

-1 Count of assaulting a Privy Council member, High Sheriff Kais Ishikawa

-2 Counts of assaulting Gentry, Ser Ramdir Soulblade

-2 Counts of assaulting civilians

-2 Counts of fleeing

-Theft of valuables

All Sabethia's fault. I'll personally hand her over to the authorities for execution and find your shiny carrot, as mine went missing and I suspect her hand was in on it too.

-Illegal gambling ring

-Illegal traps

Reading over the laws that govern our Holy Empire of Oren I see no where saying it is illegal to have personal defenses, as we have been hussled many times in the past even ending with my dear friend Astraius grievously injured.

As for gambling, that room has never been used commercially and only ever used to entertain close friends. Is it really illegal to have a nice game of dice over a mug of ale with a friend?

I hope you will come and see me for a peaceful discussion regarding the Viridian which has done its fair share of bringing commerce to Arethor and also hopefully finding and bringing this scumbag of a thief Sabethia to justice.

*A hooded figure pins a small note outside the Viridian on top of one of the closure signs, it reads:

Having given it much though I have decided that I don't really need a golden carrot as much as I thought I did. As such I am willing to return the carrot for the previously suggested offer of 5 diamonds.

However there are some conditions;

1. The Viridian bar and all of its property will be returned to the original owners.

I am not a thief without honor and as such I would be distressed if the workers lost their livelihood through my actions.

2. When I return the carrot I do not want to shot/stabbed/arrested or any other sort of violent action. I am not a killer and do not want to have to fight for my life.

3. After the trade has been completed I am allowed to leave free, I understand that you will probably want to hunt me down or kill me and you may feel free to attempt this after I have left.

This is all I ask. Leave a note in reply, I'll see it.

A reply is written

"This is non-negotiable, the Viridan Bar is now Oren Property"

[Sultan 3953]

Looks at the Paper, and thinks a Carrot? ''This is indeed something strange, we would like to meet the owners of this Tavern, as we know it is own of great business and a fine place for men of the Empire to drink in. Regards The Emperor'' he sends to the party's involved

[Pikel Boldshoulder 175]

*Pikel looks up from his seat in the middle of the Viridian as a friend hands him the letter. He lets out a sigh as he looks up from the letter to the bricked up windows and TNT sticks wedged all around the bar. "Guess I should sort this out fer some guests then." He gets up and starts packing the explosives away and reopens all the blocked entrances before sending a reply to the letter*

Good to see someone has a thought for reason. Give us a time and date and we can discuss this like gentlemen.

(( I thought I gave the tavern back to you? I went to bed and then I get up to find this ugh ))

* Lord High Sheriff looks at the poster

"Strange I didn't approve of siezing the bar again, I thought I told the owners it was safe...this is what happens when I'm not away, my name is used when I don't approve."

* Kais sighs and says

"Creator give me strength."

[Watyll 1104]

Tokugawa reads the poster, struggling with the written words.

"So it seems my brother has a tavern now."

Tokugawa pumps his fist in the air and runs off to find Kais.

(( I thought I gave the tavern back to you? I went to bed and then I get up to find this ugh ))

* Lord High Sheriff looks at the poster

"Strange I didn't approve of siezing the bar again, I thought I told the owners it was safe...this is what happens when I'm not away, my name is used when I don't approve."

* Kais sighs and says

"Creator give me strength."

*reads the note and recalls the same conversation with the High Sheriff*

I encourage the concerned parties to contact me by Bird at our headquarters or the Viridian Tavern at their earliest possible convenience.

((Mogroka, please PM me so we can discuss this in private. I think that Italian_Assassin is Powergaming and I was NOT going to file a complaint on him for awful RP but might have to reconsider that. The High Sheriff and I had agreed in RP before going to bed that this was to be handled civilly and without seizing our entire property over the theft of a ...carrot....))

[Chaqery 427]

((But gentlemen, I would remind you that even when actions go a course you had not chosen them to, it can be a blessing. Sometimes accepting it ICly can lead to a better outcome for yourself in the future... especially when you are certain the other party is in the wrong.

Just a reminder from the Inquisition.))

With a sigh, Toov tears one of the posters down from the front of the bulding. With a faint recollection he remembers seeing Patrick inside said establishment, shouting about a carrot of sorts... the memory confirmed by the presence of the second note. The folds the poster neatly, and stows it inside his cuirass, patting it once in assurance.

Typical.

[Braxis 813]

Moments after the poster was pinned.Uthor grunts as he gets off his Warhorse setting it in the stables in the oustkirts of Arethor. PAssing the Bar seeing one note and reads it grunting again followed by a sighs

"Gamblin' is not Illegal... Boiendl did it all the time and Imperial Prince William help ran it-"

Cuts himself off before he starts ranting to himself and attracts a crowd adjusting his plate and mail as he makes his way to Arethor to preform his duties.

[Kickstarted and Running 965]

Posters have been spread around Arethor, Patrick being assaulted five times, has proper reasoning to close this.

[Pikel Boldshoulder 175]

*Pikel's worn features crease into a smile as he listens to the murmurs of contempt towards Patrick from folk seeping in through the open door of the Viridian. He looks over to one of the regular patron who is sampling the newest import of Elvish Cider, chuckling as he remarks.*

"Bah I'd like te see that Patrick try take this place without startin' some riot. Good 'mount o' them knights drink here fer free an' not even countin' free ale fer everyone on a Sabet. Aye they can't be shuttin' down the bes place te drink in Arethor mark me words mate."

*The patron's agreeing nod is interupted by a hiccup, sending a few pear scented bubbles into the air.*

[Golden_Harvest_Richards 37]

*as he sees the posters plastered around Arethor Silver Richards expresses sadness and compassion towards the wayward prince, who has so obviously lost his mind. Mumbling to himself:*

He must really like that tavern to be making such a big deal about the loss of a carrot and being trapped by a lowly barmaid.

((james, patrick, assassin, whatever your name is- it is time to grow up and move on. Be more mature with your RP and it will make the whole server a better environment to play in. Stop trying to steal our whole business because one employee committed some minor transgression that we agreed to help resolve. You're just being greedy and irrational.))
