We're just going to straight up walk past each other, aren't we.

Now that you mention that when I do the turn I really should roll for that.

Or meet and not realise that the other group is who we were looking for.

We Madmen are very ingenious.  Sometimes it just takes just a little less sanity to pull off something completely awesome.

"Adventurers? That's a waste of time. I doubt I'll find any. Still, I'll see if I can at least find some folks stupid enough to risk their lives for some glory without any knowledge of the dangers they'll face. I'm taking one of the swords to sell as well, to see what sort of price we can get."

Grab two of the faded swords. Try to pray to the Goddess of the Woods to purify them, one at a time. Then off to town to see how much one of the faded swords is worth.

Roll to Become a Hero - Turn 35.2: The Gilbert Brothers, Greatest of Engineers!
« Reply #529 on: January 06, 2015, 09:23:04 pm »

Jase Bladeheart
You take up two of the remaining faded swords and attempt to repeat the miracle you experienced back at the tomb, but your prayers are left unanswered despite you best attempts. Shrugging you take the two swords with you, and head for town to see what they might be worth.

Everyone
As Jase and Chronus make their way into town they meet a group of four people, fellow adventurers from the looks of it, who appear to be arguing about which way Fort Gelden actually is. Stopping to ask them why exactly they're searching for your fort you quickly realize that these are new adventurers looking to join your group, and there's not really a reason to say no to more bodies between you and the enemy now is there?

Sometime Later!
Chronus
After looking around town for an engineer of some sort for what feels like hours you're directed to a cluster of huts some distance from the actual village. Surrounded by a low log wall on all sides it seems quite the strange place made stranger by the presence of several dwarves gathered in the center of the huts just chatting away. Last you had heard of the dwarves most of those who pledged their allegiance to the Kingdom of Eldast had moved to the Red Wastes to help with the endless amount of work that the War brings to that front.

One of the dwarves apparently notices you standing there somewhat confused as he breaks away from the others, and approaches you in what you assume is a job on such short legs.

"And what might you need of the Gilbert Brothers, finest Engineers in the Kingdom?"

You explain the situation to him, and hand over the Report on Fort Gelden which the dwarf happily accepts before disappearing into a nearby hut with the others. You're left waiting for a long time before the dwarf returns, and hands you some sheets of paper detailing possible repairs and improvements to the captured fort.

Quote from: Fort Gelden Repairs, and Improvements
Rebuild the Curtain Wall: (300 Gold) Rebuilding the sections of the wall that have collapsed, and reinforcing the rest will be a great task requiring much imported stone and dozens of hours of work but the Gilbert Brothers can do it! When the repairs are done the walls will be more than ready to repel any foes who might seek to harm you.

Rebuild Northern Watchtower: (150 Gold) Rebuilding the Northern Watchtower will not be an easy task, but a necessary one if you want any form of safety within the confines of the Fort. Once its built the Watchtower will have rooms which you can expand upon.

Rebuild Western Watchtower: (150 Gold) Rebuilding the Western Watchtower will not be an easy task, but a necessary one if you want any form of safety within the confines of the Fort. Once its built the Watchtower will have rooms which you can expand upon.

Repair the Eastern Watchtower: (50 Gold) Restoring the Eastern Watchtower to its former glory is a simple task, and as thus cheap. Once its repaired you'll have access to all the rooms it was supposed to have, and the full use of the vantage point atop its lofty height.

--- Once each of those has been achieved we the Gilbert Brothers have devised numerous expansions, and improvements that could benefit one such as yourself.

You take the two swords to local blacksmith for appraisal, and he states he'd be willing to give you eight gold for each sword but no more.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

I'll sell one sword for now and hold on to the other one. So, do you have anything new in stock?" Jase asked, looking around the shop.

Sell one sword, see what the blacksmith has in stock as far as armor and weapons.

((You should really get those appraised by a scholar before letting that guy rip you off.
You just wait, youll go to buy it back after finding out what the enchantment does and he'll be charging fifty gold or more for it.))

hunt small game near the road while we wait for chronus and jase.

Knew I was forgetting something.

A local person works as a rat catcher for the village he is willing to sell you the rats he catches for two gold each. He can't vouch for the how fast they reproduce, but they're rats so they should manage well enough.

((I'm assuming it's the opposite of the Blessed enchantment, or that it means the Blessed enchantment is being suppressed. He would probably need to get the blades purified first, and I'm sure that costs gold. I need to head by the library to get the heraldry looked at, though. Unless it's just generic Goddess of the Woods heraldry.))

Buy ten rats, hold off on any building repairs, and check the quest board.

If they have the armor on them
"Hey can I get a look at that armor?"
If yes "Man what a piece of crap the padding has rotted away, the straps are weak, bits are missing, and the metal is so rusted and brittle I wouldnt trust it to hold together while wearing it let alone take hits."
check out the blacksmiths prices along with Beirus
