Action by Michael
In assisting Gabriel for the siege, Michael has been evacuating individuals residing on the outermost parts of the city into the centre. Consequently, he's been working to set up a very temporary shelter in the city's centre. This shelter, specifically, is for now-displaced citizens of Arvum who are children, sick, or elderly. As per his assist of Gabe, he first drew on his leadership ability and charm to coax people to leave their homes. Whenever that failed, he paid Mailys (the Whisper) 3000 silver pieces to help smooth over any conflict and convince people to leave their homes with the bare minimum--therefore ensuring that said evacuation would house people rather than possessions.
Following this, however, he recognized the need to find a place for people to stay, and, therefore, used his leadership ability to try to set up a makeshift shelter in the city centre. First, he investigates and perceives potential locations to put people as far away from he city's walls as possible, and then aims to raise funds in order to have a minimum roof over the group's heads.
Having been assigned to the wall, Michael patrols the walls of the city during the days leading up to the siege. In doing so, he draws on his perception and knowledge of war in order to see any potential weaknesses in the defence, and recruits a crafter to help patch said trouble spots.
During the siege, he works with the Valorous Few (as per Silas's orders) to maintain the line at the wall, and draws on his leadership ability to command those in his purview.
While protecting the wall, and drawing on his command and leadership ability, Michael spends particular time and attention guarding the gate--aiming to keep it from being breached, and he focuses his position as a commander to that end. His leadership and knowledge of warfare are utilized in order to guard the gate. He spends half of his military resources to this end.
Action by Emeline(RIP)
Emeline is going to use her streetwise to find the criminal/problematic and focus her charm upon them as well as her seduction to gather secrets from them. She will also be applying healing stavs and oils that she makes with her alchemy to help heal the troops.
Action by Mailys
Mailys's part in Michael's plan is less grand than his. Being the type of girl she is she uses her charm and seduction to help get the less willing, from the Lower Borough, to agree to take shelter. However, she also does this in a way to assure Michael get's the lion's share of credit. If seductive charm does not work she will alter her actions to suit what is needed. She'll play her part as the Whisper assist to the best of her ability.
Action by Ailys
Ailys Shall assist, offering her healing skills to those that
Action by Joslyn
Joslyn will be closely attending to Calandra during the entire seige, acting as a covert bodyguard (armor disguised as a dress, and armed with hairpins) her primary concern will be the safety of Calandra as she sets off on her mission. She will monitor the area for danger, and before the danger can grow too great (she doesn't intend on waiting for shavs to be within her vision) she will guide Calandra to the training center, where the refugees will have been given shelter, and lend her assistance to them, still acting primarily as Calandra's bodyguard.
Action by Mae
Mae is working with Michael, as well as working with the Families of the Lowers, to make sure the evacuation plans come along nicely. First off, finding a place to set up. Michael wants people moved to the Ward of the Compact, and so building a tent camp seems to be the best bet. Tents are not nicer than houses, but considering the talk that of visions of Brand busting through the gates, they're nicer than dying! Mae is going to help coordinate this, largely by convincing the people of the lowers that it's a good idea! (Donating 50 social resources)
After there is some decent place for people to go, Mae will work to start moving those out that are ready to go. The evacuation is /voluntary/, but the sick, elderly, and especially, the children will be pushed to go. All the while, the Culler family (and the other families, too) will be helping keep order. Michael said if the Families can make sure this is done orderly, he'll not have the Iron Guard interfere, and so Mae and the Cullers are calling in their men and women to help police the people and keep the peace. (Donating 100 military resources)
Action by Calandra
Calandra is going to help evacuate the lower boroughs to Michael's chosen camp (reported to be in the training center). She will primarily be helping by encouraging people in the lower boroughs to evacuate rather than stay. She plans to once she has encouraged a good deal of people to evacuate to move into the camp city herself. This is to help boost morale and help spread the words that the Cullers are with the people of the boroughs. She wants to pitch a tent, share it with Joslyn and stay there. Calandra plans to keep close with Joslyn in this all. Calandra would like to use her charm+performance pool to put on a show of being the Nightengale of the boroughs there with the lower borough people in their camp, in an attempt to keep people hopeful, orderly and so forth. She plans to present herself as Culler moreso than as a Whisper. Calandra will leaves her expensive jewels and silks at Whisper house. She will join the camp in wools, less expensive jewels and will have her steel hair pins visible worn. She will attempt to have her rubicund hairpins hidden on her person. Calandra is no hero, if her life in danger she will try to flee or hide. She will attempt to keep close to Joslyn in the event of danger and will not be interested in leaving her behind in a dangerous situation.
Action by Juliet(RIP)
Unless otherwise called to action, Juliet spends time working logistics for the siege and assisting in the efforts to see the Lower Burroughs evacuated - she already has built up some good will from the citizens there working charity and education projects previous, and tries to leverage this into convincing people to come to the centre of the city. Given the living conditions, Juliet will also speak to nobles and merchants to organise donations (and discounts) for goods to help build better shelters, and ensure that the Lower Burrough refugees are fed, clothed, and otherwise looked after. I'm willing to donate econ and social for this, and also willing to spend some silver, if need be.
Result
The city hasn't come under threat yet, so this action will be a bit delayed, but it will all be accounted for. We'll live GM the city coming under threat and then kick in all these evacuation plans and details on how to keep them orderly (but for the most part, it will be extremely successful). Most likely will live GM this on thursday.
