I'm not sure why but Frank trying to bribe Matt with good alcohol is hilarious to me.

"Don't you think that we, the angels, didn't try that? For once?"

Ch170, Delivering flowers

Mysterious box of mysterious items to wear.

Getting pulled over by the river fuzz.

“I delivering ‘flowers’ to regulars. No hurting them.” It’s interesting how Lau pretends to not speak English well when he’s dealing with authorities like this. It’s also sad how easily they can be bribed to look the other way when it comes to human trafficking.

Notice that Ran-Mao is rustling his coat. Is she merely sweetening the deal, or is she pick-pocketing? 👀

And then we have Sebastian surprised how well the fascinators worked. Oh, Bard! 😆

Turns out Lord Randall doesn’t have quite the level of control he thinks he has.

‘From big landlords down to small local centres of power like the postmaster, school headmaster or advocate,’ says a senior official, ‘many have taken part in the land grab. Earlier this often involved direct physical violence. But with the coming of the land survey, manipulation has gained importance. It can be more effective. The karamchari doing the survey is bribed. And he records the poor peasant’s lands as belonging to those who bribed him.’

Former SNC-Lavalin executive found guilty on Libya corruption charges

Crown prosecutors had alleged Sami Bébawi pocketed $26M in kickbacks

A former senior SNC-Lavalin executive was found guilty Sunday of fraud and corruption charges related to the engineering company's close ties with the regime of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

After three days of deliberation, a Quebec Superior Court jury delivered guilty verdicts on all five counts facing Sami Bébawi, which included fraud, corruption of foreign officials and laundering proceeds of crime.

Bébawi, 73, had served as the head of SNC-Lavalin's international construction division. He was portrayed by federal Crown prosecutors as a key figure in an elaborate scheme to bribe Libyan officials.

The Crown alleged that SNC-Lavalin transferred about $113 million to a shell company beginning in the late 1990s and ending with the fall of the Gadhafi regime in 2011.

According to the Crown's star witness, Riadh Ben Aissa, another former SNC-Lavalin executive, the money was intended mainly for Gadhafi's son, Saadi.

Ben Aissa admitted to setting up the shell company in order to reward Saadi Gadhafi for helping SNC-Lavalin secure lucrative construction projects. Between 2001 and 2011, SNC-Lavalin won contracts in Libya totalling at least $1.85 billion.

A Simple Matter Of Economics (Encounter idea)

Here’s one for you DM’s that want an encounter with the most bribable mercenaries.

The players are chasing down an enemy that’s important to story/side quest plot. The players will  eventually find the person will weave into a bar. When the players find them in the bar, the person will yell “ Five gold for whoever kills these [insert term here] “. Que a bunch of people standing up.

Another voice rings out through the bar “Your drink is free, if you don’t start a fight in my bar!”. Que the people standing down. The person the players have been following will then raise the gold amount, & the owner will keep raising their amount (& the players can join in two). Once the prices start getting absurd, the person will attempt to slowly make their way to the bar door. 

Once it gets to this point, roll a 1d4 whenever someone has to raise the bet (players exempt). If they roll a one, they are unable to beat the others price.
