With war declared we should call the banners and begin a recruitment drive amongst the adventuring populace.
I will collect names of all those wishing to swear fealty to the crown and strike forth on the duke and his subjects.
We may also wish to bring a temporary war council together to aid in communication and coordination. Updates to follow.
All sworn swords and hands will be added here

I will not be able to attend but we should send guards to keep the peace when such a large gold exchange is at hand.
I will keep an eye out for Alain this evening and bring him in should the opportunity arise.
-Rauf
No doubt this proposal will be rejected. I suspect Alain is so foolish that he would gladly walk into the cells himself. The rat cannot resist the cheese.
Let's see how this situation plays out but he is certainly the one to make an example of.

Update
He came to the office after I requested him.
In no uncertain terms, I informed him to pack up his little pity party. His tea-drinkers are barely above common rats and yet he imposes himself before the Crown as some even opposition.
He bemoaned some nonsense on freedoms but all treason sounds the same to me.
As a recent defender of the city I felt it improper to punish him openly before the public and allowed him some grace. I will not forget that he took up arms alongside me to defend the west gate.
However, should he continue along this path to certain destruction we can give it to him.
He is a simple fellow. He just wants to fight I think but much like a barking dog, he has confused his mouth for strength. His sword bestows a false sense of confidence on him and he forgets what he really is.
I have given the Fellowship a Tenday to register before we need take any further action.
I expect they will ignore our request.

Alain has publicly announced he plans to exact harm on agents of the Crown.
He is wanted for questioning and due punishment for his words.
He is a simple boy, who recently assaulted a noble and ex-Crown Agent Adrian Iversek. He doesn't seem to possess much talent and has likely taken too many blows to the head.
He is potentially very stupid and doesn't understand that he is a lowly baseborn child.
Lashings are recommended to teach him sense, fines are recommended to teach him humility and words are recommended to teach him wisdom.

I am opening a file on Arden Vas after his insinuation of threats against the Crown.
He proposes to exact harm on Crownsgaurd officers who carry out their duties in collecting the registrar of magi.
He is a fighter of some skill, hot to anger and ready to fight at the merest sense of slight. He is part of the tea-drinking community formally known as the 'Fellowship'.
He is due for questioning on his intentions and wanted for threats against the crown. He is a low-form adventurer, so we should not seek out him whilst he jabs words in the distance.
One to be watched. Should his slights turn to action we will move swiftly to arrest, punish and whip the boy.

Semantics and posturing.
This is point scoring of the worst design. The matter is over and shouldn't be taken further. Words are wind and those at fault have paid their price.
No.
