>>6083208This annoys the other goat man into getting off his platform and walking away with a facade of dignity. You don't go after him; today's skirmish is your victory.
The foggy mist covering the city begins to lighten as rain falls harder. Your cloak, <span class="mu-r">The Black Prince</span>, has excellent waterproofing. You remain dry as a bone beneath the voluminous cloth, and it is a relief. It is a wet day and Lady Kizaemon hates every second of it. The cat jumps into your arms under the cloak to remain dry.
You still tour the city despite the rain and note the excitement of the news and orders. Occasionally, a vassal approaches to confirm the information and meeps away with joy upon getting confirmation. It is not surprising there are only a few candidates trying to convince his fellows to select him as a Guild leader. The goats are used to being led by Evolved Baphomets and the city is bereft of such natural commanders. It must be clearly regarded as an unnatural situation for them. You've stumbled upon groups of Baphomets debating whether it's such a good idea, and they're all nervous about the precedent.
There's only two in Camelot: Seneschal Hanbei and Mototada. Speaking of Mototada, the axe-wielding Evolved Baphomet is currently the most powerful warrior in Camelot. The War Guild is probably going to be led by him. The Longship Meeps seem convinced they are going to win command.
Is it wise to have an already powerful faction have command over other warriors? You spend some time talking and listening to Baphomets to get an idea of likely candidates.
Baphomets suggest -
Mototada for War Guild.
Cheesemonger or Candy Maker for Purveyors Guild.
Engineer or Doctor or Priest for Educated Guild.
Carpenter or Ironworker or Roadworker for Major Craft.
Weaver or Candlemaker or Artist for Minor Craft.
Hm, so the Priest from the Society faction has thrown his hat in the ring the Educated Guild. Another faction leader trying to gain more power. Well, if you don't like the candidates, then you can simply refuse to appoint them and find someone else. However, intervening and revoking the free choice of your vassals is something you want to avoid.
The bells of Camelot start ringing to announce the end of the workday and the return of one of five exploration parties. That was faster than you expected, what did they find?
