Minutes, first meeting of the Astrapi Collective Diocesan Council, taken by Monsieur Gallo, a notary.
Meeting held in the function room of the Astrapi Inn.
In attendance:
Padre François, priest of Hades,
Renè Duchamp , on behalf of Tristan Ribaud,
"Juggernaut" Jones, on behalf of Hugo d'Offren ,
Sergeant Carel, of the Astrapi guard,
Brother Aquila, a monk of the Temple of Zeus, and agent of the Padre. Items of business: 1. Pact of Secrecy - queried by Monsieur Jones, but confirmed by Brother Aquila. If he is correct, the Temple of Zeus would be keen to thwart this venture. All parties agreed to the pact, ratified by signature, witnessed by Monsieur Gallo.
2. Main item. Padre François proposed to lead an expedition to recover the weapon of Zeus that is believed to have landed on the island. Brother Aquila confirmed fears about the Temple of Zeus. All other parties expressed interest.
3. Padre François invited all parties to join the venture on behalf of their masters, promising significant rewards both financial and spiritual.
4. Monsieur Jones volunteered his services as a pioneer and soldier of fortune.
Monsieur Duchamp demurred, but volunteered a platoon of d'Offren troops to support the expedition.
Sergeant Carel volunteered his own platoon of Astrapi guards. This was queried by Monsieur Duchamp - it would leave one fort unguarded. However, it was agreed that Padre François' personal bodyguard would remain at the fort to provide a semblance of a presence.
Brother Aquila also demurred on the basis that his absence from the Temple would likely be noticed, and could not easily be explained.
5. In light of this, Monsieur Jones was appointed the military commander of the expedition, while Padre François would be it's spiritual guide and overall leader. Monsieur Duchamp would be the point-of-liaison in Astrapi, while Brother Aquila would keep an eye on events in the Temple, and pass any notable information on. Other responsibilities were divided up, and a start date was agreed.
6. The venture was launched with a toast.
7. Further oaths of secrecy were given before the meeting was adjourned. Aaaaand here's a video to get you in the mood:
