Smart roleplay -(Not intended to upset anyone here)

[Chico]

Just a suggestion with regard to bringing scrap to Tripoli, bring something with it. You can haul artifacts out till your blue in the face but bring just scrap in and techinically, it's a taxable commodity which makes you a target on the inward journey.
A short stop at Cambridge for example will pay dividends with 15% of your hold stuffed with food and gives you a hassle free journey. Whats more, as your name gets known, the food will be less important.
Sadly, there will always be the odd one who thinks they are above Imperial Law. They are not and assuming the proper evidence is provided and not a 'before and after shot' to the Court, the miscreants will be dealt with accordingly.
