Camille de Polignac applies for Minister of War

Camille de Polignac applies for Minister of State

Hugo Serre asks NPC Major 2 of King's Musketeers to resign

Rick Shaw applies for Minister of State

All characters may use Influence (and/or a bribe) for or against these actions.

Trials

Both Justin Thyme and Louis Severin Descartes are on trial at the start of next month (after duels, but before anything else) – CPS “Tiny” Thierry Toothpick will decide the order. The charges in both cases are witchcraft, treason and perjury.

Minister of State will still be vacant at the time of the trial, so one of the King’s cronies will be acting MoS and judging the case.

Class 7 favours (and/or bribes) are needed to influence the verdict (class 9 to commute the sentence for each that’s found guilty). Witnesses may be called and all players are welcome to contribute to the fun.

New Characters

Jeremy Tullett gets the Second son of a Merchant: Init SL 3; Cash 150; MA 6; EC 6 (X1).

Peter Jenkins gets the Second son of a very wealthy Merchant: Init SL 3; Cash 500; MA 6; EC 4 (X2).

Max Pieksma gets the Second son of a well-to-do Gentleman: Init SL 4; Cash 250; MA 6; EC 2 (X3).
