"In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good."
- Sun Tzu

I'm keen and available.

im there

Not sure yet if I can make that date. Will check with the boss and get back to you.

As a side note; my intention is not to drive the plot this session. So in saying that, figure out what you intend to do. I advise trying to work together as a team in what ever you decide to attempt but hey, who the am i to tell you how to suck eggs.

anyway, consider yourself fairly warned.

OK guys I can definitely not play that night. I have a 30th party on and Caitlin would butt rape me if I bailed on her.

If it can be moved sweet. If not I will set Melchid up with stuff on the forum he can tend to in my absence.

Sorry guys but this is the gayness that is having to deal with other people.

For the moment i am going to leave the date as is unless Tim is unable to make it.

Ok lets make a quick post to get my head around whats going on.

General Stuff:
20 man timber stockade completed at Royalwell.
Construction crew have begun at next site. I am assuming Ferryside? (should be completed by the end of the month is so.)
20 Guardsmen to complete 2 months of training under lieutenant Blond by completion of this month.
40 additional volunteers begin training this month.
Guilds being established.... Still need a list of 10 i think JD.

Azien Stuff.
I believe the extension to the servants quarters of the manor are now complete.

Melchid
"Modernization" around the estate is complete.

Micken
Aesthetic improvements to the trade hall now complete.

Erd
Working on the North most tower in the western border. Still unsure about specifics so i am unable to clarify an eta on completion.

Please let me know if there is anything else you wish to clarify.


!!!ALSO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHARACTER INFO IS UP TO DATE IN THE CHARACTER SECTION!!!

sure im in. I'm moving this weekend so I might not get to many posts in, will try get on and read whats been going on saturday or sunday night

Ok since Tim is good session is on.

Woot woot

And come on guys, so far Shamus is the only one holding up his end of the bargain this week. Put some posts up.

I will strike a deal with Aizen where he will travel to see if there's word of weather my peeps are willing to make the journey over here.
on the return trip Aizen will also check on progress of the northern watch tower ( details of design is in western ranges section now )
is there word of ink yet ?

all this happens in a matter of hours so....

The rest of my month will depend on this so ill be posting again soon

Ok guys one week before the session so lets move along.

You all promised me an hour on the forums per week and with the exception of Shamus i don't think any of you even got close last week.

Its a two way street people.

Also i spoke with Dean this past weekend and he seems keen to attend as long as he can get free of the kids.

Azien already did this a couple months ago, they said they would send aid. It is a long trip by mundane means from Redport to the Iron ridge so it could be another month or so before anyone would arrive.

Considering you spent most of last month working on the North one i would guess it is about 50% done as your stone melding skills make the process rather speedy. As far as i know you are the only person working on this tower so unless you devote time to it this month its progress will remain as is.

Ink has discovered a suitable location for his tower. Apparently there is some sort of natural mana well at the highest peak of western mountain range. He deems the location suitable and commands you to begin works on his tower post haste.

Aizen goes to visit Keeper Moose to ask about the mines. He is trying to understand how much the King takes in tithe (one tenth by definition).
I'm looking at the industry from raw ore to returned investment. How much keeps who happy kind of thing.

I will also approach [PRIVATE ACTION][PRIVATE CONVERSATION] Erd and Melchid separately with similar investigations.

Tradesmen (13)

The 3 masons will accompany Ink to his location (ill leave it to ink to make sure they dont know where they are) to begin clearing land and preparing the site under inks instructions.
I will gather supplies and take the remaining 10 tradies with me to the northern tower and complete it, returning to blackwell then the manor with days to spare.
the remaining couple of days will be spent building housing at the entrance to the manor grounds 15 in total aswell as an earthen wall / trench around it all

Ok, you have done most of the stone work so they will need timber and metal and stuffs. Also as a side note, this tower is right out on the border, where shit is getting real. Cactus's men may offer some protection, but leaving them out there unprotected may be tempting fate.

Please have another crack at this sentence. While your first attempt was enjoyable, i am not entirely sure what you meant.

The remaining couple of days will be spent constructing houses on the manor grounds
15 houses will be built in total, each big enough to house 5 or 6
i will also make arrangements for lumber to be delivered, enough to construct a roof for each house.

To celebrate the upgrades to the trades hall i want to see about holding a weekend of free trading and offer mulled wine and have some entertainment (minstrels, mimes and some performers). Want to find out the cost of this? say around 50 to 100 gold?

Also I would suggest to lieutenant Blond that maybe this would be a good training exercise for the guards in training, if he feel they are up to it.

I will plan to have this celebration the week before the date of the next session, once i have found out the costs.

I will assign 50 of the returned P.I's to patrol the western borders. The rest will be stationed at Royalwell.

The cost is related only to how grand a spectacle you wish to hold. 100g will put on a decent but modest fair, there will be plenty of free ale and food and wandering entertainers. Considering the situation, this should more then suit your needs.

Blond agrees that it will make an excellent training grounds for his fresh troops.

"They are coming along nicely, m'lord. Their gear is well worn but serviceable none the less. My hope is to bolster the numbers promptly as we have much ground to cover."

Sorry im trying to catch up on everything now.

As it stands the King takes 3 silvers from every gold made in the mine. The iron ridge generates an estimated 3000g from its mines every month, before the kings tax.

Ok guys, interesting session.

Dan, JD and Tim can have 5cp each.

new session post up soon.

Can I please have a summary of what I missed?
