French Tax Collector for LotFP



Ferme Générale (Farmer General, tax collector)
Need to rid your players of their silver? Enter the tax man: Theodore Bourbeau is a cleric and tax collector for King Louis XIII and has come to audit the PCs properties. Bourbeau expects to be shown the grounds and all assets, and will then, after his deduction, collect payment. It may take several days to access all the holdings of the PCs, in which case he and his men will expect to be put up and fed during their stay. If he is not obeyed, he has the authority to call upon the French Royal Army. The King has been given permission by the Pope to bring any rebellious nobles in line. Bourbeau will overlook any nefarious activities for a hefty payment of 50,000sp and 25,000sp for his fee, a total of 75,000sp. Or whatever amount the Ref sees fit to charge, something that's gonna hurt.

Theodore Bourbeau: Armour 14, Move 120’, 7th-Level Cleric, 24hp, Rapier 1d8, Flintlock 1d8, Morale 10. Leather armor, hooded cape, wide-brimmed hat, rapier, flintlock pistols (2), and 30sp. 
Spells: 1st: Bless, Command, Detect Evil, Sanctuary, 2nd: Delay Poison, Heroism, Silence 15’ Radius, 3rd: Dispel Magic x3, 4th: Divination.

Four Assistants/Enforcers: Armour 14, Move 120’, 0-Level, 4hp, Clubs or Swords (1d8), Morale 9. Leather armor, clubs, swords.
