I suggest bounty on ratgnome head. Help keep number low, I hope.

The sheer amount of them would bankrupt our City.

What use coin when we overrun by ratcreatures? This is problem I think we must deal with soon.

- Vladimir Antonov

While the Chosen are most certainly an enormous threat, I am afraid that this solution is not practical. Firstly, there are thousands upon thousands of them and our city coffers have been taking a beating this term. Secondly, bounties are generally an inefficient way to solve these sort of problems-- contracting mercenaries for long- or short-term situations are generally best, or even better, avoiding mercenaries and the fight altogether.

As you say, and truthfully, coin is of no use sitting in coffers. But do silver jewelry and silver baubles retain their luster and shine when all those that might admire them have died? If you wish to help the city's efforts in defending this city, request and/or purchase as much silver as you can. If it were not for the election period (when the Council is even more useless) I would be initiating silver collection programs (enormous property taxes on silver, tax relief on silver donators, silver mine exploration, etc.). But my hands are bound for now, as is the city's. We need men of action, and I would hope that a man with the mind to send such a recommendation would be interested in helping to defend that city in this way.

Thank you for your concern, good luck, and fair dark.
