This is what weapons were invented for.

They actually have those too. Slavers often fight back.

Eagle! Knights! Lisandro is glad he ran into this crew at that tavern in Andoran. He can now say that showing up at the convention was worth it, having helped them pull off a stunt like that. Mostly by teleporting people to cities across Cheliax, the decree scroll at the podium was just symbolic. 

If the Andorani government wishes to invade Cheliax and attempt to conquer it, Cheliax will be overjoyed to return the favor. Otherwise, there are laws, and there are tools to enforce them.

Chill the fuck out. If Andoran wants to donate some wildly overqualified personnel to the royal post today and today only, that's allowed.

Yes, Your Majesty.

They're genuinely not breaking any laws! There aren't very many laws and none of them actually authorize anyone to demand a travel pass from anyone!!! This may be news to many of the tollhouses they are overtaking on very fast horses but if your horse is fast enough you don't actually even need to persuade the tollhouse of your correct legal perspective.

He gets the news the same time as everyone else in Westcrown; it finds him taking an early lunch in his office. It's the best time for it; the day's Teleports have all happened, but he hasn't yet started buying in preparation for tomorrow, and so his losses are entirely hypothetical. He'll have to get a copy of the full decree and see if there's anything else to worry about in it, but for now the highest priority is turning some warehouses he no longer needs into housing that he can profitably rent. He likely can't do it himself--his face has been seen a lot around the slave markets recently--but Hèctor Hook-hand has halflings working for him, and probably one of them could be front-man, and find enough renters among the recently released. He's been sketching some designs of how to refit them into tenements. They already had half-height cells, and so there's a little wasted space in hallways that human overseers can fit through, but that might actually be an easy fix.

Probably the first wave should focus on anyone with building experience, he thinks. They can both pay the first month's rent in repairs, and that'll keep them busy from making any competition. He finishes up his lunch and heads back into the city.

It's a relief that it passes, and with such a wide margin. He was worried the anonymous voting might ruin it, but it seems they were convincing enough.

Hopefully they have enough slack remaining for their other priorities.
