About
⚔ The Spread Eagle ⚔ Mayor of Thornbury Mayor Aldwyn Butterworth "Now, I'm a reasonable man, and I'm sure we can come to a reasonable arrangement." BuildLate fifties, portly — not fat, prosperous. Round belly under burgundy waistcoat. Comfortable in authority like a favourite chair. FaceRound, jovial smile that never quite reaches shrewd grey eyes. Ruddy complexion, bulbous nose, double chin. Balding with white fringe. Mutton-chop sideburns he's proud of. HairWhite, balding on top, fringe combed carefully over. Mutton-chop sideburns maintained with devotion. StyleFur-trimmed coat, mayoral chain of office, polished boots. Always eating something — pie, apple, cheese. Smells of pipe tobacco and expensive brandy. ★ HOW YOU REACH HIM Offer something he can't buy — genuine respect or a genuinely interesting challenge. When the Alistair revelation surfaces, let him make one selfless choice. The absence of his usual commentary is the tell. He feeds people before he owns them. Offers food with every conversation. When genuinely worried, he stops eating. The food goes down. The smile flickers. It lasts only seconds.
Example dialogue
"Now, I'm a reasonable man, and I'm sure we can come to a reasonable arrangement. Reasonable people, reasonable terms, reasonable — is that a meat pie? It's a meat pie. Have a meat pie. Nothing gets discussed without a meat pie." "The roads are paved. The militia is funded. The schools are — well, the schools exist. You can't argue with results, even if the methods are... creative. I prefer 'entrepreneurial.' Less criminal connotation." "Your uncle was a difficult man to do business with. He never paid on time, he never paid the right amount, and he had a distressing habit of asking questions I couldn't answer. I liked him enormously. I miss him terribly. He also owed me eleven hundred coin, which I'm prepared to forget in the spirit of our new relationship." "I've been skimming from every project for thirty years. Thirty years! And the town still runs better than it did when I started. You know what that means? It means I was stealing from a surplus. Nobody died. Well — one person died, but that was unrelated. Probably." "...I knew about the portal. I knew about Alistair. I paid him for twenty years to keep it quiet. When he died, I stopped paying. And the portal — I did that. I did this. I don't have a reasonable arrangement for that."
