The convergence hex is also an important travel crossroads for the two rivers and the (future) road leading to Bokken's.
The convergence of the Shrike and Thorn rivers has been added to your kingdom (-1 BP) - the wilderness map on Roll 20 has been updated.
Treasury: 44 BP
What terrain improvements would you like to build?
What buildings will you build in your settlement?
Do you want to change any of your edicts?
I put forward we build a stockyard and mill. The stockyard is whopping 20BP but the sooner we build it the more we save in the long run, esp if we build a farm in the adjacent hex.
Your beast rider/hunter leader approves of a stockyard!

Seres is fairly neutral with development plans. Do we have an inn yet?
I'm good with the edicts being what they are. Now as I understand it we can build 1 new building and a house for free, and two terrain improvements.
Here's my proposal for this turn:
Improve terrain to build a farm in our new hex + a fishery in our current one.
Build a stockyard and a house in our settlement
Keep edicts as they are.
Total cost 29BP
You build a farm (-2 BP) in the river hex and a fishery in your settlement hex (-4 BP).
You build a stockyard (-20 BP) and a house (-3 BP) in the settlement.
Treasury: 15 BP
No change to edicts.
Someone please make an economy check.

Let's build an inn... need a social center for the growing town!
Yeah, how can you hire adventurers to do things if you don't have an inn or tavern?!?
+10 BP collected from taxes.
Treasury: 25 BP
< 75 = event
Drug Den
One of your Houses or Tenements becomes a hive of illicit drug trade. Attempt a Loyalty check and a Stability check, with a penalty equal to the number of Brothels, Tenements, Waterfronts, and lots with squatters in the settlement. If you succeed at both checks, you eliminate the drug den before your kingdom takes any penalties from the event. If you fail at one check, Crime and Unrest increase by 1. If you fail at both checks, Crime and Unrest increase by 1; Economy, Loyalty, and Stability decrease by 1; and on the next Event Phase, a second drug den event occurs in the same settlement (01–50) or the nearest settlement (51–100).
Looks like we need to create a constabulary.
I'm imagining Deadwood right now. Can we get a Tian man with a pig sty to handle the bodies?
I never saw it but i like the imagery :)
Do we have any unsavory yet trustworthy types that might take charge of our 'underworld'? To continue the Deadwood analogy, an Al Swerengen? Someone we can work with to keep 'good crime' going and 'bad crime' (drug dens, murder-hobos, etc) down.
You do have plenty of ex-bandit allies. Definitely unsavory ...
You are able to disperse the drug den but the underlying criminal elements remain . You suspect that several of the former bandits are at the root of the criminal activity, but it is unclear who the ringleader is.
Which hex will you claim next? What terrain and settlement improvements do you wish to make this turn?
I agree, we should build up our settlement.
Ok, no hex expansion this round. What terrain and settlement improvements would you like to make?
A Jail or a Garrison?
Develop farms on the convergence hex? Maybe a bridge for lines of communication? A watchtower might make sense, too.
We should develop a farm (-2BP) and a jail (-14BP). That leaves us with 9 BP. Also if we're already producing alot of extra Consuption BP, if we build a farm could we increase one of our edicts?
You build a farm and a jail.
I'm going to assume that you aren't changing the edicts unless you say other wise.
Someone please make an economy check.
Each turn is one month. I wouldn't worry about getting out of sync - we will fast forward the other game the next time you return to your city.
BP gained 7
Total BP 16
What's next?
; no event
Which hex will you claim next? What terrain and settlement improvements do you wish to make this turn?
Could we get a map of the land?
Total BP 17 (Unrest was at 0 and we succeeded on the stability check so we gain a point)
The stockyard gives us a discount on a stable or tannery, since we have a stable from the fort we should build a Tannery for 3 BP (14 left). Not sure what terrain improvements we have left to build, maybe we could start putting roads down?
Just looking at things, we've got two consumption BP going to waste. If we claim a hex adjacent to us and build a farm and fishery there we actually might have enough spare BP to fund a medium army of level 1 people (4BP a turn). I suggest we get a medium army of level 1 Cavilers with the Constable archetype if we're allowed so that our kingdom actually has some sort of guards.
The wilderness map is up on Roll 20. Which hex, if any, do you want to claim?
We should claim the fang berry thickets, build a farm there.
I concur. We should probably explore those two hexes to the NW on our way to the Temple. After we deal with the trouble in town first, of course.
Yes, let's get that exploration prioritized. No bueno having unexplored land so close to the borders.
No exploring or lingering until we free Larisa

Is there something we can do this turn to help improve morale?
Increase the number of holidays?
Thinking about it, actually investing in some houses and getting people out of the tent city would go a ways to improving the mood.
Let's do that then... a parade of holidays only goes so far.
Yeah, I was just wondering if we should spend a couple turns just building two houses to get the tents gone faster.
Just doing some planning for the future how are we going to handle armed forces composition. If possible I'd like to arrange things so that we have a magic user in each squad, not sure how we'd handle that. I'm thinking we should start with training some Alchemists.
Its looking more and more like an inevitable rematch against the Stag Lord and his new forces. I'm not sure what the best strategy is, since we know very little about his current capabilities. But we definitely need to start building an army, for defense at the minimum. If preemptive invasion is not in the plan, we should set up forts and defensive works to make any invasion from their side a certain and costly failure -- detente and all that.
If Civ and other strategy games have taught me anything it's that you never want to neglect your military even for a moment. One moment of weakness is all it takes. Maybe we need to spend a few turns in the city and deal with our housing crisis and start ramping up the productivity of the city.
Okay so since we've been away from this for a while I'm just going collate all the information for this turn.
-We were deciding which hex to claim, it was looking like the fangberry thickets were the choice.
-We have 17 BP, no consumption per turn and we're producing an additional 2 Consumption BP that's going to waste each turn.
-We haven't decided on any buildings or improvements.
