Maybe not having much of a navy will just discourage people from conquering Andoran. One can hope. In favor, they need the plant growths.

...and more mining will technically make orc slaves more valuable, but he's trying not to think about that.

They shouldn't hurt you for using wood. Lots of things are made of wood. Against.

It's great how His Grace makes it easy to know how to vote. In favor!

Killing innocent people is wrong! For!

Against. The druids will never know it was him specifically.

Jaume dithers about this one for a bit, but - no, you really can't just go kill someone, even if they are a chaotic fey, in order to harvest their body. Not unless they have done something to make a particular threat of themselves first the way some monsters do. In favor.

How are they going to fight wars without a fleet? They should cut down more trees. Against.

Dryads sound like nice folks. In favor.

In favor. 

It doesn't matter. No one will know; even the gods aren't listening.

In favor.

Stop provoking the trees, they're bigger than you are. In favor.

Abstain.

Sure, for. All the monsters are now citizens. Even liches.

Carme doesn't give a shit. Abstain.

She really wishes she knew exactly how bad this would be for the navy - do they have the slack for this at all? But - in favor.

Fuck the forests. No.

They can get more spell silver; they can't get more plant growths, not this year. And the druid was decent about the lich. And the paladin seems pretty convinced it's murder. In favor.

Boss is going to need boats to conquer all the places that’ll be getting conquered soon. Against.

In favor, goodness.

Mattin is an Ostenso man, and the shipbuilding industry is Ostenso. But that doesn’t matter to the paladins, too squeamish to cut down some trees, ugh. Against. 

Aroden would have opposed this. Aroden would not have seen this as particularly complicated. Perhaps it is Evil to harvest dryad-trees, though he wouldn't go so far as to call it murder, but if so it is the sort of Evil that is necessary to enable all the progress of civilization, from the manufacture of common staves to mighty warships. 

...He should really get some air after this, and see if that settles his stomach.

Arodenite Cheliax did, not, actually, harvest dryad-wood, at least not at the scale of Asmodean Cheliax. This isn't some radical innovation, it is merely a return to tradition, a return to practices that worked perfectly well for hundreds of years and may work for hundreds of years in the future. If it would smooth relationships with the forests enough for them to bless all Cheliax's fields with Plant Growths, it could easily compensate for the harm done by the loss of dryad-wood.

If. It's an awful lot to stake on that.

But — it's reasonable. There's nothing shameful about guessing that Cheliax will be better served by plentiful harvests than by — magical items of all sorts.

In favor. It's a secret ballot. No one needs to know.

Vidal is pretty sure that even after the logging stops, the dryads are going to keep killing people who go into the forest. Plant Growth might be worth it with the country so fragile, but it’s unlikely the Voshrelka holds up her end of the arrangement for long. She’s already barely restraining herself over a single opposed voice.

Against, until they get some guarantees, acknowledgement of the law, and a less murderous druid. 

In favor.

Opposed. They'll need a strong navy when the time comes to put the Empire back together, and concessions to the druids are broadly unwise.

Passes, 267-186.
