# Winter 1250


+ The magi have learnt of double taxation at the Tradepost at Saint Michael
    + Location known as O'Briensbridge on modern maps
+ Sean, Raymond, Aed, and Conlae go to investigate
+ They meet Murphy the caretaker who explains the situation.
    + Both Tormac and Lord Protector levy taxes under the excuse that they
      prepare for war with the other
+ Brother Raymond objects to the prostitution taking place in Murphy's establishment.
+ They talk to Brennan the Carpenter who has set up shop just outside the palisade.
+ They go to Killaloe to talk to Tormac
    + Tormac agrees to post a garrison at St Michael if Elk's Run provide for them
    + The magi will build a watchtower and possibly a moat to increase defences.
    + Tormac needs more scouts in the border order if he is to be able to 
      intercept Lord Protector's tax collectors.
+ One confidence point for those participating.  One extra each for brother Raymond and Sean.
