((Learning new spell schools with no aid has a 5% chance of success. If you have an NPC teacher or study aid [IE, Scrying for Idiots], it has a 25% chance. With a PC teacher or NPC+study aid, 50%. PC+study aid gives a 75% chance of success. Every level of teaching skill increases the chance by 5%.
NPCs gain levels based on chance, with no EXP remembered. To simplify things and reduce my rolls, I'll be faking statistics - 8 L1 farmers with a 10% chance to level up will come up as an 80% chance of one leveling up. 12 L1 farmers would have one level up, and a 20% chance of a second leveling up.
Carpentry/Masonry/Construction workers: Construction workers may use either stone or wood to build, as resources permit. Carpenters/masons may use only one resource, but they may also make furnature or crafts out of their resource.
Stone buildings take twice as long to build, but have three times the HP of a wooden structure.
Granaries and warehouses are functionally identical, but the name indicates which items are stored if there isn't enough space for everything. Storage space makes thieves far less likely to steal things, and prevents items from decaying in the jungle. Specialized buildings will have some storage of their own - Magic schools will store books, for example.))
Evergod's Company:
{19} - The weather has been good since their arrival. Combined with the dancing doll, morale has increased for this turn, encouraging people to work harder and more cautiously. {Hidden Roll} The citizens began working to burn a swathe of jungle, and the blaze nearly spiraled out of control. Fortunately, the crates were carried out of the way in time, and the conflagration stopped on its own after a short time. Jungles aren't flammable enough.
Wolfchild {14} - Explore to the south
Saun leaves the area, deciding to look for something interesting. He discovers only jungle, but at least he isn't lost.
+1 EXPErrol {6} - Use book to get a shield spell
Liz attempts to get a shield spell out of the book, but doesn't understand the text she finds. Undeterred, she works constantly at translating it for the next several days. {20} She finally succeeds, and realizes that it's an explanation for basic wizardry. She memorizes the passage of course, and now knows wizardy magic {9}, even though she didn't get that shield spell. {13} Somebody drags her away from the blaze.
Magic School learned: Wizardry - Converting mana into raw force, and shaping it.
+2 EXPJiharo {13} - Jerome dances, Kwinkle surveys a hex
Kwinkle carefully studies the jungle a short distance to the west. He finds nothing but jungle.
{12/11} - Jerome dances. People are amused, and become more vigilant.
+1 EXPOchita {5} - Survey Mountain
Ochita finds no interesting resources on the surface of the mountain. Further, sub-surface surveying is possible, but would require digging a mine.
+1 EXPKnight Otu's Order:
{10} - The jungle's weather is strange. For days, the sky constantly looked as though it was about to begin raining. {16} - A speech boosts morale. Horray!
The farmers manage to clear enough space for nine of them to farm, which they then get ready for planting. The granary is finished, and work began on the town hall. The soldiers reports indicate no hostile creatures. {4/9} The herbilist is perplexed by the local herbs, but he learns a bit about local flora from Hailfire.
