So far Dirge and I have communicated via augury. It seems that the best place for those who cannot travel long distances (and their families) would be the Academy. Those who can travel safely further distances can proceed to the Church of Light Mission House in Pendarvin. Some should go straight to the Ostcliff (the largest), Kaladonia and Dregamire Mission Houses. If all cannot fit in the houses, we can at least set up temporary shelters and use the Mission Houses as centers of distribution of food and water during the evacuation. Primus Aldric has long been storing food supplies and wisely investing in pest control/deterrents to insure a reasonably large and stable supply for just such emergency. Care must be taken that the crowded conditions do not promote the spread of disease, so healers much be on the alert at all times.
This is what we need to accomplish:
1) send riders to communicate to the commoners our evacuation plan;
2) communicate to the people what number of days supplies they should carry and the time and place to meet;
3) organize them into manageable cohorts by families; choose a head of household to coordinate a cohort of either 10 families or approximately 50 to 100 individuals;
4) have a volunteer Hero assigned a destination and organize/move 10 cohorts with guards; we would need 15-20 Heroes who would be up for the task.
5) when they reach their destination, set them up into areas where supplies can be moved easily from several nodes as storage areas; the Mission Houses would serve well as centers for distribution.
6) perimeters of guards set up for protection around each refugee encampment.
Gras and Dirge at the Inn, can you assign families to cohorts according to their potential for mobility and ability to carry supplies? Remember keeping those who have difficulty traveling for the Academy.
I will receive and set up incoming refugees in Pendarvin.
Father Donny can await the refugees in Kaladonia and organize supplies, distribution lines, and a perimeter guard. I will do likewise in Pendarvin.
Kanas, it seems that those moving to Ostcliff would do well under your guardianship. If you could move them and coordinate with Lord Rudolph the housing and supply lines. Speak with Primus Aldric when you arrive as to the use of the Mordavian Mission House.
Any others could be moved into Dregamire to the Church's Mission House there. Mother Kaiva has already spoken to the Lord there regarding accepting refugees into the land.
Via augury, I will contact Angeliana directly about moving the orphans from the Heart of the Chariot to insure their safety.
Those not going into the Chaos Wastes this feast and those who are not on missions with regard to the Map of the Arcane Sons will be sorely needed to protect and guard the refugees.
Gras, it would be your call to send out runners and riders to inform the people after you have decided on a time and place to assemble. Dirge will lead and delegate any others at the Inn who can start determining which cohort goes where. Be sure to keep tight count of how many are going to which land; organizing the cohorts and delegating will help tremendously in this matter.
It will seem chaotic and I doubt it will go without a hitch, but if we coordinate our efforts and give clear, simple instructions to the people we might see a smooth and organized evacuation.
To everyone, we need volunteers. Also, if there is anything we have left out or have failed to consider, please by all means bring it up to our attention. We need all the collective talent and mind power of the Barony to insure the safety of the people.
May the Lord of Light guide our path
