Is that 1/4 on the d20, her alchemy check, or total gold?Wand was only worth 750gp?Wand sells = 2 BP
6 BP from Income
No events
Next month (4)Sorry, missed that. Add it to your running total, until you get 4,000gp worth, then that can be converted to 1 BP.
I'll give FOXY 1/4 of her roll for gold. People just don't trust foxes. They are sly creatures. :)
Figure out what your gold would be as if you were rolling it normally (PC, not familiar), then divide by half.

I will be running through the Kingdom building for the next year, right here on this forum. I will use the dice roller here so that it is unbiased. I'll go through each phase of each month individually, giving each of them a separate post so you can follow along easily. If there is anything you wish me to do different, or if you have something you want me to do, let me know.
Also, I am only doing what I was told on Thursday night. Build up the capitol with the buildings as listed in order. If you wish to claim more hexes or build additional buildings beyond that, you will need to post it here.
My next post will have the list of buildings and the order that they will be built as BP becomes available.
I have skype so if anyone wants to contact me via skype, my skype name is shieldknight011 or you can use my yahoo email address.

I just got done entering the values into my spreedsheet. I am 1 econ higher, 2 loyal lower, and 1 stab lower than you. the loyalty I have been off since the very beginning and it has been the same throughout. I thought was with you on the stability and economy at Chad's. Now I am off somewhere. If you want I will just say screw it and leave it be and just adjust my numbers accordingly.

It is good to finally have your very own Tavern. And it doesn't take long before the rumor mill starts up and the gossip starts.
You have been hearing rumors of a local fisherman named Arven, who is looking for help to get rid of an ill-tempered beast who has claimed his prize fishing hole.
While traveling the countryside in your new found kingdom you meet some locals who talk of a hag known as the Swamp Witch. They claim she lives in a marsh on the northwest shore of the Tuskwater. It is said that she consorts with demons and steals children, boiling them for stew in her magic cauldron.

"I can't believe the gall of some people. Just because a woman who may not be that attractive, lives in an unhospitable location, and has arcane power is labeled as a hag witch. She is probably just a misunderstood person that plays tricks on people just so they avoid her. I mean for crying out loud the fey in the forest do the same thing, but they aren't labeled so cruelly. What we really need is to send an emissary to her and get her side of the story. Find out who she is and if we just leave her alone like we do Bokken."
(thinking to myself)This may be quite the fortuitous circumstance here. If this 'hag witch' really does deal with demons, I wonder what I can learn from her. Dealings with demons may very well give me knowledge of dealings with devils as well. She may have an idea as to how to break my father's pact. I will have to tread carefully on this matter. There may well be those among us that would rather see her harmed first before questions can be posed. If she is as formidable as the rumors make out, it may very well be my death if I visit her without the rest along. Yet if we all go and smoeone blunders, I may lose my chance at talking with her.
"If the council agrees, I will undertake this journey with a couple of local guides to go speak with this woman. I will gather what information I can from her and report back to you. If it is the will of the council, I will spend the next 3 weeks travelling and speaking with Bokken, the 'witch', and the boggard that we met. Since this is more of a diplomatic mission and only I would be leaving, this frees to up to figure out what this Arven is complaining so much about. An 'ill-tempered' beast sounds like a great threat to the local fishermen."

Another day completed in the management of your new kingdom brings laughter and merriment to all those who meet you in the tavern. As you discuss the future, Selena's decision to visit the hag witch, and Esmonds desire for a good hunt, several citizens volunteer to join. Most wish to escort the lovely diplomat, but are hesitant when the hag witch is mentioned. A few brave souls are willing to hunt an unknown creature, waving their swords and bows in exaltation.
One citizen sticks out in the crowd. A beautiful young lass keeps her eye on you throughout the night. Flirting from a distance. All of the men are sure she is flirting with each of them.

If we, which I mean I for now, am going to go to the SW of the Tuskwater to talk to the woman, would this be a good opportunity to claim the old fort's territory now and expand our holdings on the land. If we founded another city along the banks, it would be a second and more secure stronghold to reach farther south. In addition, the waterways would provide ample resources for the people to use to further our economy. With the addition of a pier or 2 we could start trading with our neighbors. this addition to our territory would necessitate the expansion of our farming districts as well to provide for the new city.
As far as the citizen volunteers, do any of them seem quite capable of handling themselves in the wilderness? If so, what would it take to hire their services for the journey? As this is a diplomatic journey for the state, I would expect the state to pay for the services instead of myself.

WOW, a few questions here.
Consumption increases when you "initiate" the district.You would have a volunteer city militia at the moment. You have not hired anyone to be an "army". There will be more on armies after this weekend. *hint,hint*
You would have to come up with the funds to hire any citizens/hirelings. It is not a part of the monthly Stability check.
I will look up what it would cost to hire hirelings for the trip.

Esmond:
After morning prayers, you bump into a new friend. One of the new farmers from the stag fort area. He has come to town to deliver produce and buy seed for the coming planting. He was just on his way to make a tribute to Erastil when he saw you. He is pleased to meet one of the council. His faith in the council strengthens with your presence at Erastil's Temple of the Elk.
He tells you that there have been reports that the Stag Lord has risen from the dead and now stalks the newly founded Shieldlands. They say he is gathering an army of ghostly bandits from an ancient crypt in the eastern Kamelands.

Why are we hiring townsfolk when we are more then capable of escorting you down to the hag. Its been two years, I think a trip to the hag could wait until we've solved this boar problem. Or vise versa, whichever we feel is the most important. If we start taking out BP all willie nillie when will it stop. Does the assassin need some extra cash to go kill someone? Will the Marshall be pulling funds as well? Where does it stop? I don't think the town should be used as our own cash cow. As far as an army is concerned, that was going to be on my list of things to start working on. Unless we are going to get a significant economic boost from this 2nd city, I'd point out that our 1st city is no where near completion. Building two cities at once seems like a huge drain on our limited BP's. Especially when we are going to start building defenses, and some of those larger buildings that the town could use, and maybe that Grain Mill we were talking about. I know someone has been itching for a Whore House which Briana thinks is vile, but won't oppose if out voted. I still think we need to look at getting a list of the next 10 buildings that we think should be built and work from there. I agree that we also might need to expand out country, but we should agree as a group in which direction to go. I'm glad that our buildings are starting to help us out in more that just country stats. Its good that this new tavern is paying off in more than one way.
To answer your question about why hiring townsfolk, this way we can find solutions to to both problems at the same time. I do not fancy a hunt with some beast and would much rather put my skills to use in speaking with the woman. As far as the pay of the townsfolk, we have resources with which to furhter our kingdom. These funds are not solely meant for building but furthering our community. If our citizen are worried about this woman than no justification is needed in spending the taxes we have accumulated already to hire these ciizens.
As far as expanding our nation, yes this must be decided upon by all of us. This is just a proposal to start another city in a different location. This location is mainly for trade with other nations. Right now we are a nation that is centered on itself without any interactions with our neighbors or the world around us. By opening up trade lines, we can influence other nations and stabalize our economy with trade. Does this slow down our capital cities growth, yes. But who is to say when our capital is finished growing. Is it after 4 districts are completed that we start our 2nd city? That is what we have to decide as we go forward. As far as the exact order of buildings that we add to our capital or another city, lest be flexible and take it 1 building at a time. We do not need to constrain ourselves to regimented decisions that may take 2 years to complete when we don't know what will happen next month.

I'm not sure if you are viewing the BP as they are meant to be viewed. BP is not just gold. It is time, resources, gold, labor, etc., that is available to you the rulers to construct, purchase, claim, and build in your kingdom. If you start taking out too much BP as gold, there will be a shortage of coin in the kingdom, even though you may have plenty of resources and labor.
Think of it like this: when the Salvation Army comes around every year to my door, they ask for one of three things. Time, money, or items. Some people can give their time, but lack money or goods to donate. Some people have money, but either lack the time or personal items to give. While others may have items to give that they no longer have a need for, but lack the time or money to donate.
BP is similar in the sense that some of your citizens can give you their time, others their coin, while still others, resources. BP is using these different products together to accomplish different aspects of the kingdom building process. Perhaps a group of farmers have come from distant lands and wish to use their skills and knowledge to toil and plow in the field. You use this BP to develop farmlands in a hex. Maybe you have a group of citizens that are willing to spend their gold and purchase land to build a tavern/inn/shop/etc. in order to begin a business that will in turn provide more coin for future purchases. Or you have citizens who need jobs and are willing to work constructing roads and bridges in claimed hexes. You use your BP in this sense for two things, the coin to hire the workers and the physical resources needed to construct the road or bridge.
You can still withdraw funds for purchases, but it is frowned upon. Hence the auto unrest point when you do it, successful or not. Most citizens would look at it like a "robbing Peter to pay Paul" kind of operation.
I'm not saying you can't do it. I'm just going to discourage it. Though there may come a time when you will need to do it.
Hope that helps.
I concur with the notion that BP is not just gold. I was trying to say that the BP does include the gold that we have gained in taxes. I was just thinking of spending the BP on the citizens and not withdrawing it into our own funds. I looked at the loyalty check as us taking the gold and using it for ourselves. If we were to withdraw a BP and use those founds to acquire goods that we kept such as the minor items of scrolls, then that is when the loyalty check would come into play. If we are just using that BP to pay for escorts or to hire the citizens, it would be a lump some payment in BP (say 2 expeditions like this would cost 1BP).
I am still probably incorrect in viewing the BP this way. Even so, I would still vote for a withdrawal of 1BP for government funds to be used in such circumstances.
