Corona's Virus - Adventurers Guild Briefing Day 4 - Essential Work Only...


Morning Everyone

You all know that we’re rationed at the moment, and that the city council has issued orders that you only get to go out if you need to exercise, get food, or do essential work.

Problem there of course, is that the council haven’t really defined too well what essential really is, so the Thieves Guild are insisting that thieving is essential, the Cartographers Council are insisting that going out and mapping is essential and the Alliance of Affordable companions… Well, you get the picture…

We’re here to keep the peace, so as long as whatever they’re doing isn’t spreading the virus or causing a problem, we live and let live.  That said, I’ve personally seen the Thieves guilds most recent high bounty offerings, and let’s just say that they’re robbing a different sort of throne to the one the Thieves normally get asked to rob.  If you find anyone carrying a ten foot pole that’s got nine foot occupied by toilet roll, make a polite enquiry as to where they’re going with it and make sure they’ve got enough for themselves and nothing else.

On other news, over the water in Zargoldand, rumours have reached us that their self appointed God-Emporer just declared that if everyone goes back to work, their collective enthusiasm will be enough to defeat the virus.  I’ve seen what enthusiasm is good for, it’ll decimate a buffet in less than a minute and be completely ineffective against anything requiring a clear head and a plan, so we’re going to be following approved protocol till someone with the aforementioned clear head tells us otherwise.

That’s everything for the morning watch, Thieves and Tempters all around, but remember…

Let’s be careful out there…
