Harakani said we only get Stronghold and Special Power so far. Our kingdom does only cover 3 hexes at the moment after all :p Means that you'll have a score of 8, your cohort is fine but like me you won't get any followers yet.

As for the air elemental, if you're talking about your Eidolon that has issues if it goes too far away from you. Running (400 feet/round) it would move at 20.32 m/s, or 73.15 km/hour, or for you Americans, 45.46 miles/hour.

In addition, the eidolon and the summoner must remain within 100 feet of one another for the eidolon to remain at full strength. If the eidolon is beyond 100 feet but closer than 1,000 feet, its current and maximum hit point totals are reduced by 50%. If the eidolon is more than 1,000 feet away but closer than 10,000 feet, its current and maximum hit point totals are reduced by 75%. If the eidolon is more than 10,000 feet away, it is immediately returned to its home plane. Current hit points lost in this way are not restored when the eidolon gets closer to its summoner, but its maximum hit point total does return to normal.

That's fine. 8 it is.

I'm not talking about the ediolon. I'm aware of life link. He has an actual familiar also.


Hang on,
I get how you can get a familiar using Eldritch Heritage, but how do you get a Lightning Elemental as a familiar?


Human Illusionist 8/Archmage 3

Improved familiar?

Yes. Improved familiar.

A lightning elemental is just a slight variation on an air elemental. Basically, a storm cloud instead of a regular cloud.


That was my first thought, and it is fine. Kudos on taking it on a caster to get around the CL restriction :)

oops. i'll fix that.


M Azlanti Guardian Magus

Hmm, are all the lettered hexes on the new map those that will be explored by our minions in 4714?

Player Decisions:
Claim J Hex
Build Farm in J Hex
Build Roads in A Hex (or do we get that one and/or city hexes for free? In which case roads in J hex too)


Yes. 2 hexes from base, and the ones I thought would have a good logistic line.


Male Human Cleric 7 Hierophant 2 / F+7,R+4,W+12 / AC 17/10/17 CMD 16 / HP 48/48 / Init +2 Per +5 / Spells 7/7,6/6,4/4,3/3 / Bursts 6/6 / Mythic Power 7/7

Agree with Forsten. Claim and farm J.


I don't think you get city roads for free. Anyone know for sure?


Human Illusionist 8/Archmage 3

Not for free.

Can build one without counting as terrain improvement but must still pay for it, IIRC.


HP 36/36, Temp HP 7, AC 12, +0 Fort, +1 Ref, +4 Will, Mythic 6/7, Command 10/10, Bolster 10/10

Forsten's plan looks good.


M Azlanti Guardian Magus

Didn't think roads were free but figured I'd ask :p So start building roads from Threshold to Sootscale Grotto (Hex A this turn, Hex B next)


Human Illusionist 8/Archmage 3

Just checked, and Roads count as a "Terrain Improvement" for the kingdom.

Spoiler:

Table: Terrain and Terrain Improvements
Terrain Exploration / Preparation Time Prep Cost / Farm Cost / Road Cost
Cavern7 3 days 3 months 8 BP — 4 BP
Coastline8 Special Special Special Special Special
Desert 2 days 1 month 4 BP 8 BP 4 BP

Agreed. I like Forsten's suggestion too.

Uhh hm, it seems things are a little more complicated than I remember. It's already 1am though, so I'll have to give the kingdom rules a proper look over later.

I vote for Forsten's plan as well.


Ok - that will set you back 3 BP (treasury to 28) and reduce consumption by 2.

I'd like you guys to name the hex if possible, even if we never refer to it again.
This is the hex (see the minion thread) where an abandoned giant spider hole was found.


M Azlanti Guardian Magus

Hmm, I'm terrible at names. Spidergrass? Arachome :p

So that everything for this turn? Only ended up losing 9BP, not too bad considering we got 23 BP worth of stuff :p


Male Human Cleric 7 Hierophant 2 / F+7,R+4,W+12 / AC 17/10/17 CMD 16 / HP 48/48 / Init +2 Per +5 / Spells 7/7,6/6,4/4,3/3 / Bursts 6/6 / Mythic Power 7/7

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
"Hey, is that a lightning elemental with a note?"
What a waste of a 20.


HP 36/36, Temp HP 7, AC 12, +0 Fort, +1 Ref, +4 Will, Mythic 6/7, Command 10/10, Bolster 10/10

Well, if we're building our first farm on it, we could go with Homestead.


Alright, guys: I think all we're waiting on is a name. I'm happy to otherwise have this turn done.

Shall we try to quickly do another turn? I'm hoping that now we have a map and plans it might go quickly.

Some of your pushy minions are suggesting you should be aiming for the gold mine.


Male Human Cleric 7 Hierophant 2 / F+7,R+4,W+12 / AC 17/10/17 CMD 16 / HP 48/48 / Init +2 Per +5 / Spells 7/7,6/6,4/4,3/3 / Bursts 6/6 / Mythic Power 7/7

We should be able to claim L and build a mine next turn.


HP 36/36, Temp HP 7, AC 12, +0 Fort, +1 Ref, +4 Will, Mythic 6/7, Command 10/10, Bolster 10/10

Lets let the Minions tackle the gold mine.

Let them prove their worth. :)


M Azlanti Guardian Magus

As shiny as a mine is, it's actually better to build a farm. Ideally we want at least half of our territory to be farmland (each hex is 1 consumption, each farm is -2 consumption, as compared to (effectively) -1 consumption from a mine. Once we get equalize our consumption then the mine and sawmills and the like are definitely worth getting)

Name, go homestead and then yes, do another campaign turn.

"They claim there's an undead in a river who wants the Stag Lord's body. Any thoughts on that Grey?" Forsten asks when he has a chance to look at the note. "and a mad alchemist to the south-east who wants... berries? They've located the berries and want to do know what to do with him and them. Perhaps our Grand Diplomat should go talk to him? Or would you prefer I pay him a visit?" he asks, running his thumb across the shrunken polearm at his belt.


HP 36/36, Temp HP 7, AC 12, +0 Fort, +1 Ref, +4 Will, Mythic 6/7, Command 10/10, Bolster 10/10

"I do not approve of free willed undead. They are an affront to civil order. Bringing this one into the fold, or putting it to rest would be advisable."


M Azlanti Guardian Magus

"Would providing it the body it requires be sufficient?"


Male Human Wizard (conjurer) 8/ Archmage 3

Denat looks at the note.
"Maybe we could give him the body ? And we'll see what happen. Not sure what we can do with the mad alchemist but I see no harm in tradigin with him. For now.
Looks like they have a fey problem. Maybe we should go there and try to negociate with them ? I think I remember they don't follow orders easily but could make useful scouts."


Human Illusionist 8/Archmage 3

"I will be happy to speak with this alchemist. Perhaps my valet Burt can learn something from him. At the least, having another purveyor of minor magical goods and alchemical supplies won't hurt."


The elemental flits back and forth around the room head occasionally turning like a parrot. Clearly intelligent and waiting for something.

"I say to do whatever's most efficient. Give the otherwise useless body to the undead. Perhaps that will lay it to rest. If it doesn't then we'll go curb stomp it. Perhaps Ronald and the Alchemist can talk shop and make friends. If not, burn his house down and build a farm. Who is the grand diplomat again? It's not me is it? Regardless, I think Grey's undead should be able to make quick work of the fey should they prove to be unwilling to work for us."

Simon cleans his teeth and his gun during the meeting.


Human Illusionist 8/Archmage 3

"No, Simon, you are not our diplomat. I feel your skills lie along other channels. That job is mine, at least for now."

Ronald flashes a smile and laughs softly.

"Okay, so we get our minions to retrieve this alchemist's berries, then I meet and say hello. Beyond that, any other plans?"

"You're probably right." Simon says as he flicks his wrist sending the last piece of his firearm clicking meticulously back into place. He continues without skipping a beat as he places it back in his shoulder holster. "I lack the subtly or patience required for diplomacy. Let me know when something needs to explode."


M Azlanti Guardian Magus

Forsten inclines his head at Simon's suggestions, of a like mind. "My man is more than capable and has no qualms about dealing with any nuisances we might identify. At least none I have identified yet."

So give undead the stag lord's body like he wants, Ronald is going to deal with Bokken (Forsten is all for sacrificing the resource of another alchemist--especially a crazy one--if he can't be talked around and it frees up the land for other, more productive citizens), and then Ronald will swing around to look into the fey? (assuming they haven't bothered Reve and thus started a fight before he gets to them :p)

So we're sending the corpse to see what happens with the spirit and Ronald is going to talk to the alchemist. Also, logistically how are we sending the corpse? A few knights on horseback?

What are we doing with the troublesome Fey?


Male Human Wizard (conjurer) 8/ Archmage 3

I'll be away until Tuesday. Some (little) family problems. Denat will vote for the diplomatic options when it's possible.


M Azlanti Guardian Magus

I imagine Ronald and whoever goes with him for escort will take the body, even if said escort is just some undead carrying the bits. For the fey I reckon Ronald should go look into it to, since some people think they might be useful alive.


Human Illusionist 8/Archmage 3

Sure, send the illusionist to deal with the fey pranksters...:)

hang on, that consumption looks a little low.
3 size +2 cities + 3 holidays +1 promotion

Claiming a hex: I really think we should claim the gold mine hex and build a mine and here is why. A farm on a mining resource will give us -2 consumption and +1 Economy. A mine on a mining resource will give us +2 BP and +3 Economy. The net difference is an additional +2 Economy if we build a mine. The mine cost more, but is better in the long run.


M Azlanti Guardian Magus

-2 consumption for the farm, so total consumption of 7, giving 24 BP to spend i believe.

We might want to consider lowering our holiday edicts until we build up a few more farms...

As for what to build... Roads to Sootscale Grotto/C Hex, Claim and farm either F, G, H, or I hex (depending on how negotiations go with Bokken, and what's in F, H, or I), and build... a house and either an exotic artisan (half price from noble villa), trade shop, or--if we convince Bokken to come work for us--an Alchemists (in Sootscale Grotto :p)

Ahhh, right I forgot the special terrain modifiers... I also just noticed that farms can share the same hex as other improvements, so we could in fact claim L hex and build both a farm and a mine (total cost 10 BP, not able to build a road this turn) netting -3 consumption, economy +3, and +2 BP per turn during tax collection. Thanks for pointing that out Anglon, completely missed it/forgot.

That begs the question Harakani, have we encountered any other special terrain hexes? (Page 211 of Ultimate Campaing for the different types).


Ah, thought I answered this. Sorry...
Stag Lord's keep is a Ruin. Gold mine is a Resource. Statue (might be) a Building. Other than that you haven't found anything.
