In the "Rivers Run Red", the Candelmere hex, the Development text reads that the ruined tower can give a city built here a free monolith structure, caster's tower or watch tower.

What is a monolith structure?

A monolith structure. I'm not sure on how many build points it would be.

That's funny. Thanks for the laugh.

Pretty sure they meant monument.

Kinda what I thought too, but was wondering if they also meant Castle.

good answers.

That's what I ended up doing. Before they left, one of them started a fire which will burn most, if not all, the wooden structures and blacken the rock. So I decided that IF they make it to the end of book one and notify the swordlords about the bandits being taken out, they can build (rebuild) the keep with a few BP leftover, instead of the full award.

They should make it through easily, as they started the campaign with 4th-5th level PC's. I've toughened the encounter to give them a challenge and not awarding them XP for exploring. I couldn't toughen up the Mites and Kobolds though.

So a follow up question on BP's, when book 2 begins.
Should the DM notify them of the BP credits at each area they have explored. i.e.
1. Nettle's bridge
2. Fort
3. Temple
ect......

Question to any other DM's out there.
How are you all handling landmarks with the players?
In particular, do you give them hints that the Stag Lords fort would be a good place for a castle? Do you tell them outright that the fort awards so many points towards the building of a castle?
OR
have you let them sink their own ship and do what ever they feel is right? Like burn it!
