Great post, Meow. Zander's been handed a raw deal.
A whole slew of great posts. I love the way this group is always so able to kick it up a notch or two when it comes to in depth RP time.
Sorry for not giving Akiros a response. It would seem contrived to have an NPC wander in and be like, "Hey, Akiros, tell me what's going on."
No problem, I understand. I was just sort of waiting for something to happen for him to interact with, but I suppose I could have him see to his new duties as Marshall and Captain of the Guard. Speaking of which, what exactly Are his duties and responsibilities as Marshall, and Captain of the guard? And how does it differer from what his responsibilities as General were? I do have some ideas on that, but I'd prefer to have it laid out clearly,the way Akiros would understand it (but I may not as yet)
Oh, and I guess also Akiros and Berrin need to have a chat right?

This made me LOL.

Sorry Khal that was probably me confusing things up a bit with Verik and his titles, though in my head I was thinking that the Marshal position (as it comes from Kingmaker) is realm-wide and is not limited to being the "sheriff" or "captain of the guard" of any one town in the realm. At least that is how I'd interpret it. I mean it started that way with Corwin because we only had the one town, but that's going to change as of this game month with Olegsgrav. My assumption is that the Marshal oversees the law in all Newhaven towns and major communities, with the exception being the unsettled lands where the Warden has jurisdiction. Otherwise, it's not really a realm-wide position. At least that's my 2cp.
EDIT: Unless DMB has a strong opinion on the subject, that should allow Akiros to appoint a Captain of the Guard/Sheriff/etc. for day-to-day ops in Sanctuary and another one in Olegsgrav, with some sort of approval by the local leadership. So now you get to flavor up some NPC's and also Akiros is more about setting the standards and tone for law and order throughout the region -- plus he can always be a one-man Internal Affairs if need be hehe.
That's pretty much the long and short of it.
Perfect. And what a great stretch to be able to RP someone so Law Abiding/Creatng! (Sorry boss, couldn't resist ; )
Hey guys, I'm back and what a party!
@Akiros; What would you say your eyes look like now? Milky white or near as? Maybe the color is drained making them seem the lightest shade of blue?
W00t! Welcome back!
A W E S O M E !
(Also; stage right or house right?)
The right side from that angle, stage right would mean at the right looking out from the stage, right ;P ?
I might be a little light on the posting for a few days. I got handed this case for investigation earlier today. It's already kind of a cluster, so I'll be a little scarce for a little while.

Yup! Just wanted to make sure.

Yikes! Be safe, man. Good luck!

Gid question Berrin, hadn't considered that. But let's say the last suggestion, not very ligh blue, which also have a slight phospheresence in the dark
DMB, I'm just gonna move Taisper along for now. We can always spoiler the interaction with Ilyana later.
Advance apologies for frequency and quality of posts for the next lil bit. Laptop seems to be on the fritz so forced to post through phone
F~~%. I had a rather long replie to Akiros writen up. Pressed something on the laptop (a friends) and poof. It's gone.
Take two.
Few things more annoying and frustrating...I feel ya bro
Very interested to see how this conversation between Berrin and Akiros ends up...
Took a rank back out of Intimidate and put it into Profession (General/Officer) instead. Is that ok? And is that a correct or appropriate profession? Should it maybe be soldier instead?
Profession: Soldier is the right place to be.
Sorry for my rather overlong absences. I am completely wrapped up in this case. I've been trying my best to keep up with y'all, but it's not really coming along so well.
Thanks Boss
And are you kidding?? No apologies needed! RL always precedence! And Especially if something vital and/or important, like the kind of work you do all the time amigo.
Please keep fighting the good fight. We'll be here whenever you have the time. All good fortune (and lots of good skill!) to you. I have no doubt you'll catch (and Get) the bad guys
I'm getting a distinct feel of sibling rivalry between Akiros and Berrin, love it.
Great speech, I'm going to give the reply some thought...
"What's in the box, Taisper? What's in the box?"
Got to use that joke twice today.
Great way to go around the bend Taisper. The timing of today's posts makes Zander look like a sage of foresight.
Hey Berrin, you gonna post?
Sorry man. Got swamped with extra shifts so I've been a bit stoned this week. I'll get to it soon as I can.
Cool. No worries. Just making sure you mean to
Facebook says that it is Berrin's birthday today!
Happy existentialist anniversary Berrin! :)

Huzzah!
Oh and also...
Got swamped with extra shifts so I've been a bit stoned this week. I'll get to it soon as I can.
So uhh...so despite work it sounds like you're having a pretty good time of it for your birthday! I'm more of a coffee guy myself ;)
(j/k - yeah yeah I know that's not what he meant by that, but now I can't get the visual out of my head)
Does Alexius speak Celestial? I will have to check his character sheet.
No idea, but it'd be hilarious if he did.
@All; Thanks guys, just turned 33. Life turned busy all of a sudden, now to play catch-up.
I'm more of a coffee guys myself Verik, haven't touched the stuff in just over 14 years now.
Alexius doesn't speak Celestial, I checked.
;;Languages: Cheliaxan, Common, Infernal, Varisian;;
I meant my version of his sheet. I have a HeroLab file for most major NPCs.
Nice '20' there DMB -- I'm going to have to figure out a way to stuff Alexius into a small bottle and send him down the river to Cheliax - there's a 2nd level no-save spell like that I'm sure that I can research right?
Dum dum dum! And just when you thought Zander had it bad with the guests -- enter Surtova brat! This should be fun. Forget the trolls and lizardmen - I think we need to work on our northern border security for uninvited troublemakers!
I've been wondering what you'd do with that.
Question regarding armies; Size equals how many troop?
Kingdom question; We're raising archers and cavalry at Olegsgrav right? When?
Good questions.
Also, what is the size and compliment of Guardsmen and law enforcers Akiros now has under his command? And what would the number two position in the Guards be? Akiros intends to keep his word and promote that Guardsman he interacted with before, Giergios , the one who thought he'd been the shapeshifter.
In Sanctuary and all the others cities in Newhaven. Also, are the roaming enforcers?
As well, could you possibly put up a list of all the nobility of import or that have been mentioned in the game so far Barcus? No matter where they may be from? For I'm quite near to being lost at this point in trying to keep track of them all
Question regarding armies; Size equals how many troop?Kingdom question; We're raising archers and cavalry at Olegsgrav right? When?
I want to say that a Medium Army is 100 men and a Small Army is 50 men, but I can't recall where I read that.
As far as the archers and cavalry, well I don't think we can right now. We have the Stables at Olegsgrav but no Tannery building there, and I think we need both in the same city. For archers we'd need a fletcher building. We could build up the light infantry company in Sanctuary because we have the Tannery building.
Where are you getting this stuff from Verik? I'd love to check it out myself as well to get a better feel of this whole Kingdom building thing

Well on the Campaign Info Tab DMB has a link called 'Map & Rules Collection' and that MS Skydrive has his PDF's on his Kingmaker Rules and Kingmaker Buildings, and also the Army Rules where I found the requirements for making different force types. In terms of 'what we have already' for Newhaven, he has that on the Campaign Info Tab as well, though I'm playing the home game version with a Kingmaker spreadsheet that has more details on the calculations and such for the monthly turns.
EDIT: This current month of Desnus 4709 is a pretty big month for our Kingmaker turns, because it is the month we finally claim and found 'Olegsgrav' as a second town, complete the road from Sanctuary to Olegsgrav, build another set of farms, build both a Noble Villa and City Guard Building in Sanctuary, and build a House in Olegsgrav (Stables were a free add when we founded the 2nd town there). As a result we kinda blasted our Treasury.
If you look at some of the maps that DMB made of Newhaven with the hex grid, we're shooting for that mountain hex southwest of Oleg's, because in early explorations it was found to contain gold and we can get a decent Economy boost if we can claim it and build a mine there.
Beyond that, I think generally we'd be looking at reducing our consumption with irrigated farms or fisheries around the lake. However, the need to potentially raise and maintain armies (with prerequisite buildings like fletchers and tanneries) may put a real crimp in our development plans.
But getting trashed by a troll army would very likely put a significantly greater dent in our development plans ; )
Thanks for all the info bro! I didn't realize there was that much there, I'll be delving into it shortly now.
Other than the trolls, are there any other known monsters, dungeons, ruins or the like that we could plunder for more loot? Otherwise I guess we'll just have to do it the hard way and work for it. Also, pretty standard to raise a levy or raise taxes in times of war. Perhaps also Jemini could play some of the houses against each other to raise some stash, or just ask daddy for a loan? :D
But cool! Akiros gets a city guard building! Take THAT General! Ha!
I've never really played a Kingdom building game like this before, and I'm quite looking forward to getting right into it

And coming next month, from the creatures of Kingmaker RTS comes featuring all your favorite characters in heretofore unimagined high-fidelity audio!
LOL
@Akiros; Edited. No slight intended.
Huh! Interesting Jemini is thinking of Verik, however briefly, while flirting with Other Zander.
Well you know Verik has that special nebulous "something" which pretty boy Zander types lack...or something like that...or maybe not but he'd like to think so...heh
Just want to throw out there that per Lorekeeper's rules for figuring out Attractiveness, Verik is at a whopping 13. Woot!
@Akiros; Edited. No slight intended.
Oh, it didn't bother me, but ex-general Akiros might have been a l'il offended so I just thought I'd point the slip out to you, considering Berrin and Akiros are new best buds and all ; )
