(6B) MDT's Revivified Kingmaker (Inactive)

Game Master mdt

Are we done with the meeting? Don't want to rush, but need to know when to push it forward.

I think you know the answer for Gorruum :)

His player is fine though if everyone else wants to continue making plans.

I was giving time for anyone else to respond, but it looks like we can go ahead. I'll do the kingdom building rolls tonight in the Discussion thread. Should I roll for an event or do you have one in mind specifically, mdt? There's hints that point that way, hence my asking. :)

Ikit gets +1 to his roll for the Kingdom =^.^=

Go ahead and roll events if they come up. GM specific things will be done regardless of rolls. :) Because evil GM stuff. :)

I'll need to fit in some Cohort introduction and Improved Familiar shenanigans, but just a little side note might work : )

Do you need to do anything special mdt or can we go ahead and start the morning?

Ok, doing kingdom building for Gozran, Year 2:

Upkeep phase:
1.) Stability:
Stability check (DC 36): 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (17) + 32 = 49
No unrest and there's nothing to reduce so +1 BP (54 BP).
2.) Consumption: We currently have a surplus of +1 meaning we add 1 to our granary storage (2/5 granary storage and 54 BP).
3.) No magic item slots.
4.) No unrest to modify.

Edict phase:
1.) Assign leadership (Ikit to Magister, Gorruum to Royal Enforcer and Natalie to Spymaster; Warden vacant).
2.) Claim no hexes.
3.) Build a road in D20. (51 BP)
4.) Build a castle in the new settlement of Jeleňhrad (half price with the ruins) and two houses in Zatoksta. (18 BP)
5/6.) Raise a new Large size army of level 1 fighters and garrison it in Jeleňhrad. (17 BP)

Income phase:
1.) No withdrawl.
2.) No deposits.
3.) No items for sale.
4.) Collect taxes:
Economy check (DC 36): 1d20 + 42 ⇒ (8) + 42 = 50 / 3 = 18 + 7 misc income + 17 treasury = 42 bp

Event phase:
1.) No event last month. Rolling for one:

Event chance (1-25 = no event): 1d100 ⇒ 83

Event Type/Danger Level: 1d100 ⇒ 97 Bandit Activity and roll again

Event Type/Danger Level #2: 1d100 ⇒ 48 Dangerous kingdom event. :(

Dangerous Kingdom Events: 1d100 ⇒ 49 Improvement demand

Stability check for the Bandit Activity (DC 36): 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (12) + 35 = 47 Our armies are on high alert and they squash the paltry bandit raids posthaste.

We must: randomly build (1-75) or demolish (76+) something: 1d100 ⇒ 78 I'll have to take some more time to figure out what that will be. It should be randomly determined. I vote we ignore it and do some IC stuff to hopefully defuse the situation.

To do:

• We need to fill the Warden and (probably) Grand Diplomat positions with either cohorts or NPCs.
  
• Our consumption will be 0 next month, so we should claim hexes and build farms.
  

i like "lets not demolish things" idea =^^=

You can start the morning.

Wilhelm, will get back to you on the Cohort thing, just busy, and until the kingdom stuff is done, it's not a priority.

Wilhelm - The demands for 'destruction' are to destroy the Kobold fiefdom, which is a danger to the populace, as they are preparing for war.

The Kobolds are preparing for war with the Trolls right? Not us? Or have they straight up givin in to being evil and joined the Trolls?

Nobody ever got to the kobold village to check it out. People are saying they are getting ready to raid the farmers around them. Whether that's true or not? Meh, who knows... nobody has talked to them...

So, we need to demolish the idea that the kobolds are a danger to the kingdom? Or, find out if they are a danger to the kingdom, and if so, then demolish them.

Either way works for me.

Ok, time to get this back on schedule.

I think we're going to do the groups based on average posting speed. Now that people have cohorts, the cohorts can flesh out the slower group, that way everyone can play at their preferred posting rate.

The slower posters seem to be Dante and Shimmer, who post about twice a week. So we'll put Dante and Shimmer in group B.

The faster posters seem to be Anastacia, Fharn, Gorrum, and Natalie, who post daily or close to it.

In between are Ikit, Rowan, and Wilhelm, who tend to post in fits and spurts.

So, Group A will be :

Anastacia
Fharn
Gorrum
Natalie

Group B will be :
Dante
Shimmer

Ikit, Rowan, and Wilhelm, you three can pick which group you want to go in, the faster group (who'll start getting nagged if they don't post 3-4 times a week at least) or Group B (who'll only get nagged if they don't post at least once a week).

If Group B is light on characters, then Cohorts of characters in Group A will go with group B, so both groups have interaction and things to do.

Sounds like a plan!

Mkay, that sounds good. Do note: I will be a bit slow/distracted this week and next since it's midterm time. As I'm currently on an exchange/abroad time, I don't really have a clue how harshly tests are graded so I'm (probably) overworking stuff at the moment.

That sounds fine to me. I'm ok to go into whichever group. I'll try and get my cohort together sometime this weekend as I"ve settled on what I'm doing. I'll send a PM tonight to discuss the how's of her introduction.

We do need to decide what precisely to be doing with each group though. One group definitely needs to swing by the Kobold cave and figure out what's going on there and we need to figure out where the trolls are. Anything else to be dealt with?

Gorruum will definitely be disappointed if he doesn't get to go see about the trolls, but he could be convinced that the kobolds could be an exciting trip too :)

Well, there's the werewolf running around in your capital slaughtering innocent people. You might want to deal with that as well.

I knew that werewolf was bad news.

Well, the kobolds are Shimmer's thing.

I was working on an IC post last night, then somehow it got eaten. Not sure what happened. I didn't have the heart to do a re-write at the time. Anyway, it seems Anastacia has her work cut out for her, what with the disease problems in town.
Of course, as the cleric that people would look to for burials and funerals, the werewolf killings should come to her attention pretty quickly.

I'll go with the slower group. I have about 30 days left with my current command and then taking two weeks to visit family for the holiday before moving on to my next command on the East coast of the US. Busy times are ahead for me. =)

Busy can be good. :) Glad you're looking forward to it.

I'll be on the east coast this winter too. Rochester NY starting Nov to Feb. Blech! COLD!

Group A will be :

Anastacia
Fharn
Gorrum
Natalie

Group B will be :
Dante
Shimmer
Rowan

Ikit and Wilhelm to decide.

I think i'll go with A... if i do see i cant i will drop to B

Yay Ra-cha-cha! My hometown :)

A question, MDT: Is there enough of the guard left for a speak w/dead spell to work?

Also, I'm wondering about downtime. I've got that brand new scribe scroll feat, I'd like to use it some. Also my monastery is capable of generating quite a bit of gold or capital if we are using that system. Are we?

I know it's a lot to keep track of, so if you didn't want to do that, MDT, I understand. :)

@ everyone: Has anyone been keeping a loot tally? I can go back and do that, but I'd hate to do redundant work. (My RL job has enough of that.)

Ok, here we go...

A) Not really, his body is in 15 or 20 pieces, and the rats have been at it before he was found.

B) You can't do down time while doing kingdom maintenance. At least, not full time. You can get credit for half-time downtime stuff crafting. IE: 4 hours a day.

C) If you have buildings/organizations that generate resources/wealth, you can gain those on the following conditions :
C1) You have to keep track of it, and roll the rolls in the discussion thread.
C2) I reserve the right to modify things if it gets too out of hand or abused.

@ Anastacia
I have kept record of most I found since I joined, which wasn't put to good use.

Painting (75gp)
Arrow: Screaming Bolt Potion: Hide from Undead Potion: Resist Energy (Electricity)
Potion: Enlarge Person. Potion: Mage Armor
Wand: Icicle Dagger (36)
Diamond (~500gp)
Rope of Bones
Silver Ring (65gp)
3 amber pieces: (~100gp each)

I searched back through the old threads. Anastacia had hired an acolyte and a guard team. I've added these items to my profile, so I don't forget again.

@Downtime - I have all the downtime stuff I hired/built/bought noted down. Even with some good bonuses (the Valet one on all crafting rolls for example) earning lots of gold isn't really in the cards. The most broken stuff one can really do is converting 'raw' gold to magic for later crafting, effectively building stuff for 1/4th of the price.

@Loot - I remember taking a look at that a while back, I don't think there was actually that much split among all the characters sadly.

Can you give me a 'WBL' assessment of everyone? I think you were way over, but I ned to know for sure. If you are under, I'll adjust, despite the book. I realize KM usually goes feast or famine, I don't like that though, I prefer to keep people on track. Makes it easier to adjust the combat.

Gorruum
Studded Leather: 25 gp
+1 Cruel Falchion: 8,310 gp
Dagger: 2 gp
Belt of Giant Strength +1: 4,000 gp
Cap of Enervation: 3,500 gp
Backpack: 2 gp
Flint and Steel: 1 gp
Waterskin: 1 gp
Gold: 94 gp
Total: 15,935 gp

Ubagub
No items, 2,400 gp

Wilhelm is currently at 17869 gp worth of gear/gold combined. I can break that down if you want, but that's what my Herolab is telling me and I trust it more then I trust my napkin math. :)

Anastacia has 11,316 gp in gear.

The monastery is worth 3,450 gp
Acolyte valued at 440 gp
Guards value 100 gp
Heavy warhorse 300 gp + 50 gp of gear. Tack, saddle, some of Anastacia's equipment.

She has no liquid assets to speak of.

Total: 15,656.

We did a WBL adjustment awhile back, I'm not sure why she is still a little under. For 6th level.

My total is 13.073GP

The most expensive on my list is
+1 Rapier 2320 gp
+1 mithral chainshirt 2150 gp
+2 belt 4000 gp
+1 cloak 1000 gp
Handy haversack 2000

@Wbl - As mentioned above, we did a wealth adjustment a while back. I don't think we have gained any significant amounts since then.

(ie everyone has ~16000, except those whom had a bit above that due to earlier crafted gear or crafting feats [Fhârn has ~20000gp worth*, Will has ~18000])

@Ana - Perhaps some used scrolls/potions or something?

@Cohorts/Imp. familiar - I think I'm pretty much done with the non-intro stuff. All that is left is to shoe-horn a small intro scene in there somewhere in the IC. I have my last midterm on tuesday, so it *might* not be until then.

Will check my WBL when im home. Weekend had work and was away and then surprise 1 day extension

I did want to ask, we didn't have a chance to deal with our werewolf prisoner yet. I remember we had him sent to the jail, but then had the meeting and didn't take steps beyond that. Did we fast forward past the window to do that? E.g. we're now about a month later?

Ikit is still on lvl6 gear total of 16k. more precise, due to stuff he makes...
16060gp =^^=

Dante said he had him put in a cell that would hold him.

When you check on him, the guards are pasty faced, as he howled and roared all night, but he's still in the cell.

Remove curse is a 3rd level spell. Anastacia will have to pay the poor fellow a visit as soon as she can redo her spell list.

It's still in anti-epidemic mode.

Derp. Rowan, not Roan.

I could fly off and look for Roan too, but that will cost extra ... :P

No worries, glad you mentioned Argos or else I wouldn't have known you meant me. =)

So the houses cost 3 BP each. I assume we should just pay 2 extra BP to rush construction instead of the 0.25 * 6 = 1.5 BP? If so, new BP total is 40.

That works.

What kind of check would I need to do to have a look around town for other people who might have been injured or bitten by Corwyn?
Would it be gather infomation?
