Douglas: Mao Tse Tung was born on the same day as I, and the USSR was officially dissolved on my birthday. Hmm, it looks like my future will involve making and destroying Empires. Wait, I am playing SE, so that seems to be natural enough.

Jack, the answer is rather obvious:
1) The two librarians represent the whole city, as they have told you.
2) They seem to be annoyed by this matter, for which we have been hired.
3) Therefore, solving this problem will improve the general state of the city.
4) We will need better equipment to remove these bandits, which is why we have been hired. Having more gold is required to kill them; it is therefore needed to get more gold to improve the living conditions of most in the city.
5) (Stisnera) My right hand currently dropping some sleeping herbs in your wine is not doing any such thing. Look at me in the eyes when you are talking to me; aren't they pretty? Don't you love that scaly skin, these scars, the emptiness of these black eyes, and their glowering look? *Grumbles* Charisma 4. *Grumbles*

I may get something written for this column, assuming my headache leaves off to see the family tonight; othrwise, you should expect even more rambling than usual.
