[DitV] King's Marshalls

The zealot front that Provost Gondry presents is superimposed on a pragmatic streak. I thought he was more gungho but as the game goes on I feel that the Law is a powerful driver for him, but in a more abstract sense than anything deriving from the King.

He sees his purpose or mission as collecting the required amount of taxes and whilst the bookkeeper was obviously a criminal, Gondry figured that causing a fuss would make his prime mission much harder. It was also increase the level of chaos which Grondy always seeks to suppress, although he does understand its attractions.

So he'll be taking the same line with the High Priest, "I signed up for tax duty and whilst I understand the attraction of your offer to overthrow the rule of the Lord and King, these are not withing the scope of my current mission, nor are they in the Pentateuch five year plan. If you have a scheme for overthrowing the King and replacing him with a theocracy, please fill in the requisite forms at your nearest Bishopric of Pentateuch and report for execution for treason".

(Traits of "Crush chaos" and "I understand the attractions of chaos")

Give unto Pentateuch etc...

As far as the game goes I think you may have got a little conflict happy at one point but have succesfully reigned in the exuberence to focus on what matters. Part of the reason for saying something about my PCs motivations is so that next week I get an even thornier conflict than "Join Us".
