"Attention! The goblin escaped! We have new details on their sinister handiwork!"

It appears that the goblin was in C2 all along, laying down booby traps! Whether this was in preparation for a full on hoard invasion, or just the scheming of an individual is still not known at this time.

You can help clear the booby traps.

When 5 different guild members assist with this task, the traps will be cleared. Nothing can be built on C2 until this chore is complete!

Can us rogues and rangers count as more than one assist based on our slieght stat?


Bruv says, "Yay traps!" and helps disable them.

[Crystalizedmire]

"I should have just gone to C2 all along. In all fairness, I thought I wasn't allowed to participate and I don't want to fly all the way."
Starts disabling traps.

Spoiler: Distant Places (click to show/hide)

NORTH
Gorm's Maw is a lake that lies some fifty miles northeast, which claims several species of woody shrubs and hedges to it's banks. The lake is fed by a river known as 'Oarsbane', which takes it's origin from a mountain range called Rigg's Spine. The road, terminating at the beginning of arctic tundra, runs through the valley of these intimidating mountains, some hundred miles away from Keyforged.

Fingers of Gorm is a forest that flanks the western edge of the mountains, and is home to many boar, deer and other fauna.

Er-Ur's Fallow is the largest community of Frost Giants in the deepest regions of the north. A swathe of land suitable for farming hardy plants accustomed to the permafrost, and every harvest-tide feast is punctuated by the need to move the village, as it exists in the spot where springtime's fields must be. Beyond that are seemingly impenetrable fields of ice, with glaciers encroaching on the spots these frost giants can live.

Known Races: Wizards, Half-Giants

WEST
Great Plain of Empty is by far the closest to our settlement. Despite its name, it is not empty, it just has very few towns and villages despite its large size.

Linara is by far the largest of the forests in the West, at least 2 times as big as any other. It contains many Crowfolk, Ravenfolk, and many others who have made their home there complete with wooden houses on the treetops.

Navafir is the furthest away, the coastal town contains many semi-aquatic creatures of various shapes and sizes. In fact, this is the town with reports of mermaid sightings.

Known Races: Ravenfolk, Crabfolk

EAST
Hills of Armandis are a seiries of mountains that line out across the vast valleys of the east. Beyond the last hills are undead creature, and inside them live many fortresses pertaining to the Dragon King of the East, and perhaps his lair himself.

Raidplains are perhaps the largest stretch of valley in the east. Long plains with few inclines, this open space is seperated out by some of the largest rivers in the land, which make it extremely valuable for farming, and horseback riding. The several nations that live around it tend to be called the River Kingdoms.

All-Forest is a massive jungle that litters a large portion of the southeast, seperating us from most of the conflicts. Contained within it are ancient temples to forgotten gods, and deadly beasts. It is risky to cross it, which may serve in our favor, as it will keep us out of much of the conflict brewing on the other side.

Known Races: Ogres, Goblins, Dragonkin, Golems?

SOUTH
Great Marshes

Sword Mountains

Known Races: Lizardfolk, Dwarves

Guild Digest: Issue 4
-Alchemy Guild has surveyed the north and is now able to help identify any northern plants people bring back. Proper surveys of the plant life in other documented areas will take a bit.

-Cartography Guild is trying out a new activity called Patrol. A hot and cold treasure hunt. Ripclaw lead the first ever town patrol. While the goblin got away, their sinister plans where thwarted. The booby traps were disarmed by Taarka and Bimson, and the crafty hands of Rogue Bruv and Ranger Aywen.

-Smithing Guild, aside from growing to include 3 members, seems to have got their first non-internal customer.

-Market Guild is getting little activity but recently leader Taarka allowed travelers to trade with the merchants. The travelers will offer coins and items to trade with merchants, allowing Keyforged to procure items that are not currently accessible in any other way.

-Adventure Guild leader Bruv found 100 coins in a chest from the Southern Swamps. Those coins had already been distributed to the adventurers and Bruv put his share to the Adventurer's Guild funds. Guild Hall helped getting an idea of what material it is and how much they are worth. Each traveler now starts with 100 gold. Also, the guild explored the abandoned tower and had to abscond early because Elliot was injured. We have great need of a cleric to heal adventurers both in and outside of dungeons. We also added a multiclassing mechanic, parties of larger than 3, and we are talking about how to defend the outpost.

-Idle Guild now proudly has 3 non-member participants on the Guild Members community log. This makes them the first to clear all challenges of the first community milestone. Also, the Weekly Idling Scores have been posted. Blacktooth Ripclaw leads with 281.

"Okay, let's get these record straight."

If you didn't choose a direction when joining, you will be marked down as 'central' meaning you are from Keyforged, or very close by. If you did not choose a race, you will be a human.

[RoseHeart]

While the dwarf already left at this point, the other 3 customers are still around.
"I'll pay you 15 coins for that banjo please"
said the human customer.
(should I have moved this to the main thread now or later?)

"How about 25?"

Commander Ripclaw I

"Congrats everyone on 5 weeks. They said an outpost wouldn't work on the crossroads, but we still stand. They warned us. Of the volatility of mixing species, of the inherent dangers of being so close to all four of the estranged lands. From humble beginnings, literally a smattering of tents, to nearing the end of the road to settlementship, it has been my honor to be your outpost commander. And I will continue to serve. As we achieve a more developed community, we will slowly transition away from my directives, to those of elected officials. With more control over our shared goals being theirs, rather than mine. And if I may be so bold to imagine this one day becomes a kingdom, well there won't be anything left for me to do. A convention I'd like to start is that persons in a leadership role take on a Roman numeral after their name while serving, for each term. And that a person must wait 2 terms served by others before they can again. I look forward to the day we are ready to elect our first mayor, can we make it? Just a few more tasks to become a settlement. We are so close. Suspicious sightings, potion trading, and more expeditions. Straight from the guilds, here is the newest Guild Digest."

Spoiler: Guild Digest: Issue 5 (click to show/hide)

1. Guild Affairs

-Market Guild wants you to please join. We are responsible for the economy.

-Cartography Guild is preparing for the next patrol, with a Wizard Bimson request to direct the upcoming hunt.

-Idle Guild is always open to New recruits! Also, the Weekly Idling Scores have been posted. Blacktooth Ripclaw leads with 322.

-Adventure Guild reports we are preparing for another expedition. Bruv is trying to buy warm clothes to facilitate a trip to the arctic caves in the North but no one has any furs to sell. The Alchemists Guild supplied us with 3 skin blistering potions. Not sure yet what we will do with those.

-Alchemy Guild fulfilled a request by the Adventure Guild and is currently open for anyone who wants to come and dabble with potion making.

-Tavernkeeping Guild reports the yaranga has fallen quiet, likely because of the guild members and the guildmaster attending to other matters. Elliot has been tied up in introductory expeditions as a part of the adventurer's guild and paying homage to his ancestors by taking up forging. However, there are still activities occurring.

"Attention! Another goblin raider is in Keyforged!"

We know what will happen if left to it's own devices, but who knows what will happen if it manage to sabotage one of the guilds!

Goblins lurk around for 2 days. Catch it before they strike! "Happy Hunting!"

Spoiler: Hunting Abilities (click to show/hide)

Your class may prove useful during, or after, this hunt.

The Rogue Or Ranger
Track: You may choose to check any combination of two empty spaces or landscapes instead of one hunting space of any type.
Mend: Your assistance in an empty space or landscape is worth double.

The Warrior Or Mage
Patrol: You may choose to check two buildings instead of one hunting space of any type.
Repair: Your assistance in a building is worth double.

The Cleric Or Bard
Overture: You may choose to check up to three spaces instead of one, but if you do you are exhausted and cannot use your Finale ability after the hunt.
Finale: Your assistance is worth three, but due to your needing preparations if you chose to check more than one space during the hunt you assistance is only worth one.

Tents and The Idle Guild count as a landscapes instead of a buildings.

If you have access to multiple attempts, you may take them individually, or all at once. Taking multiple at once does contribute to finding gold.

If you have not chosen a class yet, you have no hunting abilities. You must have chosen one before the start of this hunt, and choosing one now will not count for this hunt. You may still search a single space and contribute basic assistance.

Guild Members:

    Guildmaster Bruv Brightbuckle (MadMonkey) Level 2 Rogue
    Aywen Ayes (A1s) level 1 bard/level 1 Ranger
    Bim "Bumson" The Great (Megam0nkey) Level 2 Mage


Non Guild Adventurers

    Blacktooth Ripclaw (RoseHeart) Level 1 Warrior
    Taarka (Crystalizedmire) Level 2 Bard
    Elliot March (sodafoutain) Level 1 Warrior / Level 1 Cleric
    Garrett Ashborn (PhaseBomb) Level 1 Warrior

Your highest, or if tied most recent, is the class you use.

All others are peasants with no abilities, or the 2 people hosting the hunt.

Spoiler: Hints and Finding Gold (click to show/hide)

There is a chance the goblin will have dropped gold, no doubt ill gotten. You are welcome to keep it. If you are fast, and hunt with others before the report on their findings is out, you may be quick enough. Of course if you are patient and wait to hear word on someone's previous attempt before committing to hunting a plot yourself there may be clues as to how close they were.

Results will not be posted for at least 1 hour after the first to go since the last update.

Gold
1 - Go after 1 unresolved search.
2 - Go after 2.
4 - Go after 3.
8 - Go after 4.
and so on...

Max 100 gold. (Total)

Repairs will now cost 5 gold per person.

(It was Cartography Guild member Megam0nkey's turn to sit this one out, and they have been sent the correct answer. They are welcome to assist with this and give hints and results from the watchtower if I take more than 6 hours.)

[Crystalizedmire]

Overture:
Check C3, C6, D4

[RoseHeart]

The frugal ravenwoman begins checking around the outpost, coming closer and closer to some sounds coming from east of the Alchemy Guild, picking up a trail of gold along the way...

The goblin!

The feathery bard bonks the spiteful greenskin on its' little bald head, and it is taken the the cartography watchtower dungeon for questioning. Ripclaw hands a pouch of coins with dried blood on them to the market guildmaster...

"You can have the little bandit's remaining loot, good work Taarka! Thanks."
