Town Meeting
Town Meeting
Rather than playing out the Town Meeting, like with the Darkwalker's second attack, consider this post an OOC post of that meeting, for players to share their character's thoughts and feelings on the situation — along with the best approach in regards to Young Bill's proposal.
Players are free to thread out scenes from the Town Meeting in their own event toplevels/open posts if they wish to do so — but this is more of a quick catchall on character's thoughts that's more accessible to everyone — and players can have their characters +1 ideas they agree with!
Please fill out the following form.

Character Name: Raylan Givens

Character Thoughts/Ideas:
As a general rule, Raylan will be listening to whatever anyone else has to say to gain better context and understanding, and will not be first or middle in this conversation, but he will speak up towards the middle/end of it all because you guys have been here longer and have a better sense of things. His remarks will be prefaced by that, respectfully. His are just the rambling thoughts of a man grown up in Coal Country.
Raylan will be against starving them out or hunting them, though he won't hold it against anyone who chooses to go that way. He will instead advocate for the Milton townfolk to keep their side of the line. So long as the Forest Talkers don't bring trouble to them, to this side of the mines, he thinks Milton and Co should stay out of it.
If they can have a conversation with these Forest Walkers, understandings can be made, arrangements, lines can be drawn, and Milton can declare its intentions to protect itself. If they can't have that conversation, then it's a war, and he still thinks they should keep to the line drawn by the mine entrances. (Traps can be set in that Milton Co know about, so as to avoid, the group has plenty of tree cover to hide from - the forest talker's methods here are not new; people have been hiding in the woods for centuries, a hoard of armed men hidden behind trunks with silent steps; ask him how he knows.)
He doesn't trust Young Bill's motives and finds the man's suggestions more on the 'Company' side of the argument though he does understand being annoyed - It's Bill's choice and everyone else's to live out there and the activists trying to get encroaching companies that are ruining say, a mountain, probably have good reason.
That and madness has a way of sorting itself out if you don't get it on you. They may all just end up killing each other and solving the problem before its Milton Co's problem.

+1 to any kind of warning system/traps at the mine entrance. (Randvi wouldn't be against rigging the bridge either tbh but that's much more drastic and irreversible)
