The Story of Sir Mordred Jerrine, Lord of Mirkshire
The alchemist’s claims having been confirmed, at least to the greatest degree available, Sir Mordred resolved that finding this herb would be the first step in dealing with this strange illness. Heading south, he deftly maneuvered through the swamp. This event was making it abundantly clear that she had been the right choice in squire for him. Without her knowledge of botany he would have been left unsure of the accuracy of the alchemist’s statements. Her ability was clear, as she commented on the plants as they walked past, and evenly warned him of stinging variations every so often, preventing him from having to learn of their presence on his land the tough way.
Their quest took them a fair way from the edge of his village, but they made good time of the trip. Without incident they reached a fair sized clearing, in which a number of tall grasses were growing.
The Story of Sir Lionel Duncan, Lord of Rosewood
In the mind of Sir Lionel, hunger was not a beast to be trifled with. Setting off from the hunter’s cottage, he promptly found a woman who claimed to be a fairly proficient cook:
“I’m not the butcher type, you hear. I’m a cook. I make the food you eat, not take out the bits you don’t. But I know ‘bout them. If these’re hard times, I can lend a hand. Don’t expect me to do this when times’re better. I’m not the type, ya’hear?”
Despite her mild protest, she did promptly set off in the direction of the hunter’s hut, and her assistance would certainly alleviate some of his burden.
Finding a group of men nearby, Lionel told them about the situation, and about the rationing plan. They seemed understanding and cooperative, and thoroughly impressed by Lionel’s steadfast stance that he not be given special consideration. Lionel thought his plan was working perfectly, though quickly found out that his special consideration for the workers on clearing and construction resulted in a large number of people devoting their time to this task. The farmers and bowyers Matis had been seeking chose to spend their time working to clear the land. These volunteers did work in earnest, however, and remarkable progress was made on the task. The beginning of a palisade was erected, which would surely prove useful, and enough land was being cleared that a few fields could conceivably be planted soon.
go and ask the three pele if they have any seeds or experience in farming, if so, immediately set them on the task in case of food, also see if we have any bows or bowyers

Seek out a butcher among my people. Send a few loiterers to go help in the land-clearing operation, and if I have time go there and organize it myself. Concentrate the activity in one area for now, so as to disrupt the hunter as little as possible.Implement rationing of food for all but the sickest, youngest, and oldest. Neither I nor my advisor is to take any more food than anyone else. Those who participate in my construction activities get an increased ration.
(5 for finding butcher)(2 for organization)(6 for reception of rationing measures)
Sorry Execute/Dumbo, but it seemed the easiest way to do the 6 as overkill was to void the success you would have had.
The Story of Sir Valthas Chackman, Wandering Knight
After another fight with his terrible memory, Sir Valthas formulated the plan of entering the small village with all the grandeur he could muster. This seemed to be the route to the most money, something they could use. Making preparations for entrance, Renee took out her wax and cloth and gave the glaive the best polish she could. Sitting back after a brief period of furious work, she saw a blade which looked like the glistening steel wielded by heroes in all the best of stories. She felt pride in her ability to participate in legend, even to that small degree.
His glaive looking as menacing and beautiful as it could, Sir Valthas strode into the village center with confident steps. His entrance had exactly the effect he had hoped for. Children crowded a small distance off, whispering excitedly, a pair of young boys picking up sticks to fence with each other. The reactions of the mature villagers ranged from fearful glances, to looks of awe, and possibly even worship. For this village, Sir Valthas appeared to be a hero of old. Reaching the well in the center of the small square, Valthas stood proudly, clearly the center of attention.
Polish and sharpen the glaive, wax over the non-sharp parts a bit for extra shininess. Also, try to get a little more presentable myself.

Have squire polish glaive in order to make it impressive! Then head into the town, trying to look calm and collected.
