I'm going to have to withdraw from this game. There have been a few unsettling medical changes in our lives and I have less free time. Many apologies.

No..it will have all of the rooms/etc that a caster tower is supposed to have on top of extra rooms.
In-characterly.
In the kingdom rules buildings take up a certain amount of space. I guess what I really want to ask is why you want to have two buildings in one? I think you're misunderstanding. Aer doesn't want two Kingdom buildings (providing +economy/stability/loyalty/etc) but one (caster's tower) that happens to function ICly for other purposes (much like how Riva's library is a Library for Kingdom reasons but also is a house for her own purposes).
What's a lot requirement?
"Do we need to send him alone? Can't we go ourselves and see him complete the task?"
That will be alright. However I am not quite sure about this building being used for two different buildings business. Could you explain what you mean? Mostly meaning it will be a caster's tower that contains areas for meeting with foreign dignitaries and providing work areas for government workers--filing complaints, tax information, etc.
Aer started constructing a sitting room, second scriptorium and a book repository thanks to Riva's substantial donation. Rather than build a building that counts as a bureau, she's going to construct a caster's tower in Kingdom building rules that will double as a bureau (having some of the rooms required) for downtime/roleplay purposes. DM, Due to her being a summoner rather than a wizard, could she replace the Scrying room with a Summoning Chamber instead?
Riva: At some point after Riva's donation to spur the construction of a bureau, Maermana sends the following letter. Lady Riva, I wanted to thank you for your generous assistance after so short an acquaintance. The funds allowed for further construction of a diplomatic meeting area as well as a private library consisting of local maps and tomes of the surrounding areas. It is my hope to foster positive relations with the nearby nations and cities, possibly using those relations to boost our own economy through trade or simply avoid any unpleasant interactions in the future. It appears that both Pitax and Mivon are near enough in the River Kingdoms to have common interactions with our people. Sometime next month, I would like to send an emissary to each to discuss the future of our relationships. Brevoy and Galt are also quite close. However, the political situation in Galt is not something I'd send any of my people into..at least not yet. Brevoy..well, I would like to send emissaries both to King Surtova and Restov. Many thanks, Maermana Raggindraen[/i]
"I still think the dragon would walk through an army, but hopefully through our own explorations we can grow powerful enough to take her down. Perhaps we should have mentioned the trolls that the giant mentioned in the south? They seem a more immediate threat."
That's..really confusing. Do you always get a +10 bonus for using/working the business for types of capital if the PC is involved? Where was that section? (Lots of rules and complex..). Also, I thought there was a mention of being able to use downtime while ruling? I didn't know there was a taxation rule, pretty much means there is no benefit/bonus at all from Aer's business/shop yet..the scriptorium alone only provides a +5 bonus. Ugh, will have to re-do the whole thing and won't have time until sometime this weekend for that.
Downtime doesn't really help Aer at all at this point since we have yet to come across any treasure while adventuring. There's not really much for her to do with less than 200 gold. She'd rather head out and explore more than spend another month working for pennies.
Working on it now! I just have to find the hand-written notes for it I made the other night at work (had some free time, whoo!).
Embassy wasn't the best word...hm. Think more like the Harry Truman building in DC. Offices, scriptoriums, a place for guards, meeting rooms, auditoriums for speeches and conferences. Probably summoning rooms for Aer.
Sorry haven't had a day off of work lately and haven't had much time to go through the downtime rules to figure out what/if Maer can build anything else. She's going to spend most of it trying to get money to pay off capital to add to her scriptorium + office and build a proper embassy/home for herself.
We haven't found enough gold for Aer to drequest anything with yet.Sorry!
We'll definitely want to decrease Unrest. We should probably spend one BP to grab the hex east of the city and another 4 BP (or 2 BP) (those are hills or plains?) to build a farm in that hex to pay for its own consumption and then some. We'll need extra consumption if we want to worry about an army. We can also build a Stockyard (23 BP currently -20 to build stockyard) to increase the consumption reduction of three adjacent farms. That takes up the maximum we can build and explore for the month. Does anyone vote Nay?
"I'd rather not collapse a perfectly good adamantine summoning circle, thank you. I can think of so many uses!" Aer grins, pacing around the chamber, then nodding to Riva. Ragathiel sighs, but says nothing. "Yes, let's see if there's anything else we can discover in the library. I'd be happy to help, but studying has never been my strength. Magic just comes naturally..We need to find better ways to combat those annoying wisps! Possibly some magical goggles to see them better."
Can we make a second check to learn more on the tower using Riva's library?
Aer avoids the dagger. "I don't know if it'd be ethical to take and sell that. Still..magic items sell for a lot and Daggermark has a lot of crooks." "..I wonder what summoning a demon with that would cause." Flinching from her own words, and the heavy armored hand that clamps on her shoulder, Aer lets out a small laugh. "Not that I would." Ragathiel, shakes his head. "Demons are not to be brought into this world, Maermana" Shrugging, the elf steps toward Riva. "Do you know anything? So far this place has been more than a bit creepy but at least not dangerous."
Agast at the description of an undead cyclops wizard, Aer steps closer to her angelic companion. "..Well that is good. That he's not in the tower, that is. I wouldn't want to face..that. At least not without an army at my back."
"...I don't like this place. I hope it can be cleansed."
Maer casts Light on Ragathiel's sword and moves into the tower behind him. "There may be something inside of the tower we can use to get rid of the taint. Perhaps some kind of desecrated area?"
"If..that is what you wish." The angel will swoop low, find a clearing and drop off Valak, drawing his sword to turn on the wisp which should now be visible.
Aer points to the boat. Rahathiel could carry us over in that. Maybe.
Ragathiel can pursue but only up to 100 feet so he's stuck circling overhead now.
"Hm..and its here I wish we had a druid who could part the vines."
Aer focuses on rowing while Ragathiel continues pursuing the glittering wisp that Riva struck.
Ragathiel needs a magic weapon I guess :(
"Damnit! How are we to catch them now?" Maermana scowls and waves a hand after the glowing one. "Ragathiel! Go!" She utters the words to a spell and those around her feel their muscles tense, their breath quicken as the world seems to slow around them. With a grin, she grabs an oar and starts to row. "Pursue. Do not let those vile abominations escape." Ragathiel soars forward and charges. for
Aer swings her hand through the air, winking at Riva. "I can do you one better." She hisses something out in elven. Its pronunciation sharp and filled with the accent of Kyonin's royal court. An explosion of golden dust showers the area around two of the wisps (located at 3 and 5 from the party) . The dust settles, clinging to the invisible, spongy creatures.
Ragathiel takes wing and charges the nearest wisp, slashing out at it.
Inclining her head in thanks to Valak, Aer points up and Ragathiel takes wing, circling above the party. "Do we know if they will even come out to attack or speak to us? Perhaps we should move to that tower and investigate..Ragathiel should be able to carry us one by one."
"I prefer benevolent overlord to master, thank you." With a sly grin, Aer takes Ragathiel's arm as if walking to a dance. "It sounds like it would be a good visit. Any chance we could convince the witch to move closer to the city? With rumors of troll tribes now wandering about...it may not be safe."
"That sounds horrible.." The elf's skin is paler than usual, her expression one of disgust. "I'll gladly help annihilate this threat. We cannot let the people be preyed upon by such things."
"Riva, you said you've encountered these wisps before? Could you explain how that went about last time?"
Round 1 Maer uses her move action to move away from the mud pools, retching as she does so. "Should..Gag...have brought Retch...something to block that smell." Ragathiel follows slowly after his ward, not doing any better.
Maermana, your PDF character sheet has been updated. Let me know if I missed anything. Your eidolon getting flight ought to greatly expand his role in the party. You may want to consider giving him some ranged weapons, even if he isn't proficient yet. Everyone should always have a ranged option. More so with flight. Thanks! I wish I had planned better. Could have picked a feat other than Weapon Prof and spent 2 Evolution Points on Martial Weapon proficiency to nap a composite longbow + greatsword so he could be all Solar-ish.
Level 5
+1 1st level spell per day
+1 Use Magic Device
Ragathiel
+4 Skill Points (Use Magic Device, Perception, Knowledge (Religion), Intimidate)
Aer walks to the edge of the pit and waves a hand at the pit. Ragathiel disappears with a flash of white light and a silver-furred wolf appears beside the boar. With a growl, it lunges forward and starts savaging the animal. for and if attack hits: v CMD for a trip. "Doubtful. Wild boars aren't known for their intelligence or habit of avoiding those who infringe on their feeding grounds, are they?"
Round 1
"Tsk, a bunch of animals daring to impede us?" Her guardian takes a silent step forward before charging into the foe facing Toran. His eyes seem to glow with an intense, white inner fire as his hair flows behind him in the wind. for damage.
"Agreed. The more we know about the lands to our south, the better we will be when it comes to expand. We need a way to grow the population and more land with farms will help. Let us keep exploring the Kamelands south of the kingdom?"
I like the selling of it to power up the BP.
