Grand Visions|Raynham, Reave

[Kender Bard]

"I'm telling you," a man at the bar remarked in a slurred voice, "Reave has the poten... poten.. potential to become even greater than Lacuna. A utopia even!"

[Devon]

Connor sits in the bar near the ranting man trying to enjoy his drink. "What are you talking about? Is there a problem with the current leadership?"

[Kender Bard]

The man gulps nervously and shakes his head, pausing to mop a little sweat off his forehead. "I'm just saying.. We could make this place great! What's the most popular place in all the world?"

[Devon]

Connor sips his drink and shrugs. "I don't know..Ilyamen I guess or maybe Ronduin. It sure isn't Naurorod." Connor mutters something under his breath after mentioning Naurorod.

[Kender Bard]

The man looks at him oddly a moment but dismisses it. "So let's combine the two aspects of Ronduin and Ilyamen and make a little paradise. We're already set up geographically to become a rival Trade city; let's just go hire a bunch of artisans to pretty the place up, get some streams diverted here. Maybe take a bit of modeling after Autus."

[Devon]

"For a drunk you have a few good ideas, though it all depends on the power you have here doesn't it. You could go to Jhaal and see what he'd do or you could talk to that Trevor fellow." Connor smirks when he mentions Trevor, thinking that'd be exactly the sort of idea he'd wrap his mind around and run away with.

[Kender Bard]

"Trevor, I've heard that name before," the man muttered into his cup. "Is it just me or do I smell a contention for the leadership position? What's Trevor done that rivals Jhaal's bringing of peace to Reave?"

[Devon]

"Ah well though Fara was burned down, Trevor was key in defending Reave from those bastards who attacked. Remember Jhaal got held hostage during that time. Know that Earth woman who stays here? Well Trevor took it upon himself to escort her back to Humontis so she can help negotiate a deal between Humontis and Reave. We do need some friends in this world." Connor sips his mug. "I'd say right now while Jhaal technically has done more for Reave..he doesn't seem to be doing much at all right now. Just because some dragon picked our leader doesn't mean we have to stay with him forever."

[Kender Bard]

"You do have a point," the man remarked slowly, frowning as he noticed many other citizens were beginning to lend their ears. "Perhaps we could have co-rulers?"

[Devon]

"Hm, I don't know if anyone has ever thought of that. But wouldn't it be hard? Eventually one may want sole leadership of Reave and I suppose giving orders would be difficult to manage."

[Kender Bard]

"Perhaps we ought to bring it up with Jhaal and Trevor," the man suggests slowly. "Have the two meet and hear the people's opinion."

[Devon]

Connor raises his mug to the man's. "Sounds like a plan friend."

[Kender Bard]

"Excellent," the man remarked merrily. "Jhaal is in his house last anyone saw; what about Trevor? Humontis you said?"

[Devon]

Connor nods. "Yeah Humontis."

[Kender Bard]

"Since you seem to be keeping tabs on him, when do you suspect he will be back?" the man asks lightly.
