He eyes you, blinking twice. "Specialist? Well... I've got me a Steward's apprentice who I caught eyeing my daughter the other day. Be good to get him out of my damn hair..." He runs his hand through his greasy, long hair. "He'll be accompanying you back to... Fer... Fire... your damn town."

"Crops... will do for now. Your neck of the county has never been worth taxing much anyway, no wealth... but extra crops are always welcome." He pats his belly appreciatively. "However, I do prefer coin. Make sure that you have some by next year."

"As for the soldiers... just make sure they're ready when I need them. I am an infantryman by training. Make of that what you will..." His biting tongue is wearing out a bit, and he seems to be growing disinterested in you.

"Is that all, Sir Rock? I have business to attend to." You highly doubt that.

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Yes. Thank you for the audience my leige. Where may I find your steward? Promptly stand and bow.

[javierpwn]

Leave.(wait for steward)
Head back to town

[Maldevious]

As you stand and bow, Count Foles screams, and a servant appears. He mumbles something to the haggard looking man. "I've sent word for the damn Steward boy to meet you at the gates."

You quickly exit the room, refreshed by the absence of stale beer in the air. Walking out, you wait a few minutes, and then see a sharp looking young man with intelligent eyes walk towards you from a group of tents, leading a horse. "Sir Stone? My name is William Dent. I understand that I am to be your Steward? Shall we ride?" He lowers his voice. "I also understand that Count Foles is none too pleased with me at the moment, so I apologize for any haste."

With that, he mounts his horse, which you note is a much healthier specimen than your own, and starts it walking towards the gates.

[javierpwn]

TO ARMS TOWN!

Agree. Let's see what Woody has done so far. Also, set up the inn with people working there and food and drink on hand I'm thinking the farmers sons and daughter, asking the farmers of course, and assuring them of steady coin in the future. Begin plans for a small festival Saturday, we need some kind of sight to make the merchants stop and buy ourgoods. Also, let's find out what our steward did for the count. I hope he has some knowledge in land survey or reading.

[Maldevious]

You have a pleasant journey back to Feroshire with William, with little of note on the ride home. Work has progressed, and there is now a stockpile of adequate looking lumber for use as you command. What shall you do in August?

[javierpwn]

Hmmmm, we need to enlist the aid of some masons/mineworkers and potentionally boost the economy... But


>fix up more rundown farms/houses

Build a bazaar on the docks. Gotta get some income up in this bitch.

[Gotdamnmiracle]

I want the land to be surveyed before we just up and build a mine, How about we build a ship yard (more like boat yard) That way we can start trading downstream. Then we will meet up with them, throw a couple axles and wheels down, turn the boat over, and wheel it back upstream with horse power. Rinse repeat. He'll, we may even buy them a horse of their.own later on down the road.

We already have one of those. What we need is a reason for people to stop and trade.

Ask if any of the townsfolk know any trades. Weavers? Woodcrafters? Potters? Anything?

We should also work on the tavern/inn. Specifically, by seeing if anyone is a good cook or brewer. Such an individual would be useful to have even without guests--the cook could provide a better meal for the citizens*, and the brewer would be an excellent person to have "on call" for festivities.

*I'm imagining a Community Kitchen, where you can donate food, have the chef cook it, and be served. Excellent for helping morale. The cook would, of course, be given a good room to stay in and food of his/her own to eat.

[Gotdamnmiracle]

I like the above. We may just want to let the wood alone this turn and work on setting up staff and getting to know our people's skills and aspirations.

[Jbg97]

When we have the city built, with wood to spare. I say we build a giant middle finger with a non-flammable skeleton to stop it collapsing, and light it on fire. When all the wood is burnt, we make a new one.

Wasteful of wood and only shows disdain.
