E) Blighthaven

[Haspen]

"Blighthaven," you say, "will be the name of our new home." The council members agree that it is a good name.

Day 1

Laborers and craftsmen toil on constructing small houses and cottages for the incoming waves of refugees while those with other skills tend to the land, maintain supplies, explore the nearby surroundings, or accompany scholars in search for life and animals.

It is evening when you realize that this new home, this new air, this new night, makes you unwell and uneasy. You struggle to sleep; the red moon, smaller than the one in Ixor, doesn't help with its alien design.

You leave your tent, pondering what to do.

A) Get some wine and drink yourself to sleep.
B) Venture among your soldiers to share some time with them.
C) Make an errand around the place, asking travelers what they've seen.
D) Consult with Xamantha about your uneasy spell.

[Glass]

B, the soldiery are likely to have the best understanding of this place's dangers thus far.

[Haspen]

You decide to sit by the campfire amongst some of younger officer.

They seem a bit startled by your direct approach, but a cup of warmed wine and some shared bread make them open to you.

They view the land with a bit of a scare, as only few lucky of them had moved through the portal with their families; the relatives of majority of the rest are still camped in the capital of Ixor.

You lift their spirits with a little speech, in which you tell them that they being here is but a first step in securing the lives of their families, and neighbours and friends.

Day 2

With great clamor and curiosity of the crowds, a bunch of hunters who left to have a 'look' around to the north, arrive back at the camp.

With animals in tow!

They have captured what can be described as 'human-sized balls of fur' on four, short, stubby legs. Where their mouths are, two small tusks protrude, and their snouts are triangular and pointy. Their fur is of a dark blue and ashen coloration, with a bleak mixture of all the colors being predominant.

The hunters observed the beasts, which, while docile, were very quick to rush one of their kind who tried to take away their leafy meals from them.

Strangely, the beasts seemed indifferent to having ropes attached to their tusks and being led away. They were stubborn when they had to stop and feed, but once they grazed on some grass, they were once again easy to move around.

Scholars petition for the beasts to be corraled and observed for a period of time, while your officers want to see if the beasts can be tamed and ridden.

What to do about these?

A) Observation takes priority here.
B) Lets tame the beasts right away.
C) Kill the beasts for meat and bones.

[Glass]

A, observe them. This behavior is unusual, and we should make sure we understand how they will act.

A

[Haspen]

You side with the scholars and have the furry animals corraled.

Hunters and explorers are instructed to try and bring more of these back to Blighthaven; a native livestock might be a boon for both farmers and craftsmen in the future.

Day 3

One of the exploring parties in the south report seeing strange, black eels floundering happily in the swamp waters. When approached, the eels dashed into the depths.

Meanwhile, already disorder and violence creeps into Blighthaven!

Some farmers accused one of your officers of hoarding alcohol and meat that was supposed to go to their families.

"I taken nothing." The officer replies in defense and presents the inventory ledgers. "And the written word supports me!"

A) "But the written word can be forged. Guilty!"
B) "The farmers are greedy for important supplies, that's what happens here. Not guilty!"
C) "Both cannot be innocent..."
D) Direct them to a judge, you have no power here.

[Glass]

D, we don't have the training to determine if there is forgery in the ledgers, and frankly, trying to figure it out is a waste of our time that can be used to actually lead Blighthaven. If we have judges that this can be directed to, it should be understood that this is their job, and there's a reason for that.

[Haspen]

You quickly decide to send the matter to the judges. Fortunately, there's one of them who already moved to Blighthaven through the portal with you, and he takes the case.

Day 4

The Portal opens and supplies are delivered, along with several dozen families, hundreds of individuals, some livestock and important personages to establish some sort of government.

They also bring seeds and grains for the farmers to being planting in the soil in hopes of finding the crop calendar of this world.

News come that blighted villages surrounding the capitals have been deserted, and many camp under the city walls.

An agent sent by your father, the King, meets with you.

"His Majesty is asking whether you have any dire need for any kind of supplies. You have been given priority, as his son and heir."

A) "Weapons, armor and ammunition, please."
B) "Foodstuffs! And maybe some alcohol, too."
C) "Construction supplies, we need more houses built."
D) "No! The others sent to the other worlds might need them."

[VoidSlayer]

C

The faster we build the faster we can accept more refugees.

[Glass]

C

The faster we build the faster we can accept more refugees.

+1 to that.
