Colin Darkwood, let me declare publicly now.
Your words here in this board have been the only ones of reason.
The unlikely threat of invasion is no reason to rush to tyranny, our town is populated entirely by powerful warriors. We are an army, nothing more and nothing less. Disorganized, mostly, yes, but not all of us are of such a persuasion.
By the next moon I will lead a third of the town as the Order of Raven, and we are quite well organised. If ever we were invaded we would gladely fight to defend the populance, as would we all.
We speak on these boards in such foolish abstract I find.
As if we are not all warriors, mages, and healers.
If we were invaded the fools who came marching would find that one in every other who sits drinking at our tables and bar is eager to see death and bloodshed.
What kind of fool would send an army to claim a lonely tavern at the cost of a war with errent barbarians, magi, and paladins?
Surely, we can already well defend ourselves! If not by our very nature than by the addition of my own army, and the ranks of the Rabbits, and by the ranks of the Daystar, and gods only know that Master Darkwood is not going down without a rain of blood fed too by the corpses of no less than a militia.
We are not simply peasants!
So a simple solution will not work!
