[Doing this in the middle of a jungle with temporary accommodation is a bit unusual, but here, it seems to be the norm anyway. Beitang Moran is nothing if not adaptable, but to make this more palatable, it needs a bit of decorum. He manages to commander a table - a round one - to be put somewhere in the shade, and some food an refreshments for those attending, letting them air their grievances and fear first.]
The bandits are a problem indeed, and we are working to get rid of them even as we speak. It may take a bit of time, but secure roads will be there soon. Knowing that, wouldn't it make sense to help out a King in need, knowing what is gratitude is likely to bring you later?
B.TO DAYS GONE BY
[Beitang Moran is used to schmoozing, he just doesn't particularly like doing it. So he'll be present and even mingle a bit, so that everyone has seen his face and heard a kind word, quite skillfully, and then he'll find some place a bit out of the way from where he can observe people while sipping on a drink.
And firmly declining to participate in the rituals for now, if needed by lying through his teeth about having already done so. He might drink too much if they insist.]
