"Assuming we can outfit the ships afforded to us with net-launching equipment and assuming they will be outfitted with such gear at Huangjin, I will offer this council fifty thousand True with which to purchase nets and rope for making nets, with the idea of having everything delivered to the Citadel at Huangjin. I have already begun sending notice to the merchant guilds. If any oppose this, speak now.
Also, if we hear back from the gnomes at the Academy, and they agree to make the launching equipment, I will offer more True and supplies as needed to make enough launchers for our ships and siege efforts."
