Your majesty,

my book keeping has been less than sufficient (//especially with last week not having access to my journal), but I can assure you that the money is spent appropriately. As I am unable to provide you with the exact numbers, at this given time, I will provide you with an accurate estimate.

Total Personal Gold: ~ 13,000gp

weekly[RL] assured income(itemized):
First Knight: 0gp
Deligate Agnomen: 0gp
Lord Aurik: 0gp
Captain Tomas: 0gp
Captain Lou: 0gp
Aide (delanish): 0gp
Aide Dick: 0gp
Other Aides: 0gp
First Bank of Leefe: 0gp

GOLD Assets:
1 destroyed ancient painting - est. value = 7gp
1 GOLD Knight uniform - est. value = 1gp

weekly[RL] assured expendatures(itemized):
First Knight: 125gp
Deligate Agnomen: 100gp
Lord Aurik: 50gp
Captain Tomas: 10gp
Captain Lou: 10gp
Aide (delanish): 2gp
Aide Dick: 2gp
Other Aides: 2gp/each
First Bank of Leefe: 0gp

Estimated weekly dues based on rank:
First Knight: 50gp
Deligate: 50gp
Mage: N/A
Knight: 50gp
Captain: 25gp
Squire: 10gp
Aide: 10gp

Known Expendatures:
Potions of Healing
Ferry Boat Rides
Informants
Artifacts (paying out value to the one who found it)

Business Arrangements:
First Bank of Leefe: Upon securing security contracts, First Bank of Leefe is allowed to use GOLD Knights to fulfill contract requirement. First Bank of Leefe assumes wage payment responsibility at an increased wage rate for the GOLD Knights fulfilling the security contract. First Bank of Leefe is also allowed to recruit the required GOLD Knights and train them, but the Guild of Lasting Discoveries collects the dues from the contracted GOLD Knights. This arrangement increases GOLD Knight membership, while providing First Bank of Leefe the man power to persue its own ventures.

Description of my personal money:
It should be re-noted, that GOLD Knights, myself included, who find an artifact get to keep the value of the artifact in gold. The member simply returns 5gp/100gp to the guild in the form of dues. It should also be noted that only one GOLD Knight has ever paid his dues, and at that, it was merely an estimated number, which I believe to be grously underestimated (500gp). I, however, continue to pay the GOLD Knight wages out of my own pocket, despite not receiving my wage from the treasury for four consecutive weeks[RL (two of which no game was played, but not sure if I get paid or not)], which of course, doesn't even cover paying my own wage within the GOLD Knights. I also still continue to wear only the clothing I find, or is given to me, and use the same staff that I bought weeks before taking the Minister position. The only newer purchased item I posses, is my helm, that I purchased with hard earned money through adventuring. Also, please consider that if I pay a GOLD Knight for an outstanding ancient artifact that they found on their own, that I wish to put in the museum, I pay them full price from the guild, but then the treasury only affords me 25% of the value, which is then taxed by the guild 5%.

Though my book keeping is not exact, I can assure you their is no squandering of coin occuring within the Guild Of Lasting Discoveries. This guild was created to assist me and my needs as the Minister of Artifacts. Even if guild money was spent on a "Luxery" such as a new quarterstaff (which I have more money than the guild, itself), it would be for the betterment of the guild anyway, as it would assist in capturing more artifacts, and paid in the form of a bonus from the guild. On that note, Lord Aurik is the only GOLD Knight to ever receive a bonus from the guild. The only Knight to successfully ASSIST in finding an artifact is Captain Tomas, but the artifact itself remains in our possesion.

Ultimately, I hope you will see that I (as the head of the GOLD Knights) have been responsible with the guilds earnings, and that producing such earnings reports is a time consuming act, that ultimately, will require an increase in member dues to cover the cost of spending time to produce said reports, and ultimately lead to lower membership.

Also, the reason for my books not being kept exact, currently, is that it is simply difficult to document EVERY transaction while in the heat of a moment, which is frequent, since i'm nearly always off adventuring for the elemental stones, though it is not impossible to document MOST transactions.

I hope you'll consider my request to repeal this requirement from the GOLD Knights, in the interest of the crown obtaining the elemental stones first.

Sincerely,

*Signed Raynah Jackson*

Off in the distant shadows of the approaching dusk, a scream could be heard echoing off of the hills. She looked down at her blood soaked hands, then to the orc cheiftan laying in a heap on the ground. Beginning to weap, first in sadness, she began to lick the blood from her fingers. Her weaping turned to laughter, her face grinning widely with her teeth exposed. Evil consumed her, and the fear she felt at slaying the orc turned to rage, and she began to hunt for her new lust...orc blood.

<<wow! Please note that in order to save time, you only need to say how much money is in the guild treasury. You can spend the extra time to write a letter to your mother or your local representatives>>
