Shizume rips a rag off of the colth next to him, and wraps it around the slice on his arm "Dangit they crushed our only allies, and now we don't stand much of a chance. Maybe we should take some land outside the kingdom first, and use it to stage our operations to take over the kingdom."

Retreat to the just outside the kingdom,a nd claim some land to use as a staging area for the assualt on the kingdom.

Your local province, the Ztah Steppe, is too barren and nomadic for you to raid food from.  Your only choices are to risk Brighthall or Elbreth.

Shizume rips a rag off of the colth next to him, and wraps it around the slice on his arm "Dangit they crushed our only allies, and now we don't stand much of a chance. Maybe we should take some land outside the kingdom first, and use it to stage our operations to take over the kingdom."

Retreat to the just outside the kingdom,a nd claim some land to use as a staging area for the assualt on the kingdom.

Claim some land where?  There are several options, if you consult the map.

Question. Can people who own basic land make Markets or Towns? If so what is the cost?

Yes.  The cost has not yet been determined, but setting up or deliberately investing in a market or town will be a RtD roll with a difficulty based on how much profit is likely to be derived from it (see Guidelines to the King).  Either the King or I can determine the success/failure of such a roll, but remember that ducats can be spent to improve the chances of success.

"Shizume Come to the steppes We will let you have land there in return for tax"

You own no land in the steppes.  It is all owned by your violent, sociopathic fellow nomad raiders, who will take extreme issue with you trying to claim any.

((Is it Kaguro's/my choice or the king's? Which regiment we lost, I mean.))

Lord yl Marchis returns to the court with a smile on his lips and wine in his breath. He obviously hasn't slept in a while.

'My king Thatkid! I return with glorious news! Together with Commander Kaguro I crushed the bandits plaguing your rightful lands and returned them to the Crown! It was a long and bloody struggle, and I lost many good men. I even reclaimed lands not included in your orders! And speaking of those two new parcels of land, I will wait patiently for my reward. My lord.'

Aulon bows and waits for the King's response.

Quote from: Shizume
(Roll: 4-1)  You and your men are driven south out of Elbreth and into the harsh and unforgiving Eelspine mountains.  The extremely inclement weather and utter scarcity of food and vegetation make finding shelter difficult (-1 to roll) but with difficulty you are nevertheless able to carve out a camp for your men.  You can sustain your men by foraging the large region around and even keeping some hardy goats, but it is nowhere near as verdant as even the rockiest hills of Elbreth.

You gain 1 parcel of land in North Eelspine.  This is the easiest, most arable land in the region.  Attempting to settle more will be even more difficult.

Please keep track of your own stats.

It's whoever commanded the battle's choice, though you can always leave that choice to the king if you prefer.  It was more a question of who you sent as the first line to die.

Kaguro barly resists the urge to roll his eyes at the actions of the 'noble' who was practicly begging at this point and bowed to the king. "As.....Lord yl Marchis stated, the mission was a success, the lawless lands are now yours to do with as you wish, but a full regiment's worth of men was lost in the fighting my lord. During the reclaiming of lands a force of bandit cheifs and their minions arose to fight us, this would not have been a problem but a band of rebels joined them in the fighting. Sadly the rebels themselves managed to escape, I am not sure in what direction they fled."

I technicly commanded the battle, but I'll leave the choice to the king, i would have sent his men to die rather than my own anyway.

Well, Aulon's house guards aren't exactly the most noble or bravest of men, so I rather doubt they would've gone first. Though maybe they were put in the frontline so no-one could desert while our backs were turned. And Aulon doesn't really care about commanding his forces, so Kaguro could've told me to charge a spearwall naked if he wanted to.

My guy would have sent your forces first, for several reasons. First and formost he's loyal to his men, he's worked with this regiment atleast for a time and would rather anyone but them die if needed in battle, secondly he sees your character as a begger in fancy clothing, and your personal guard as little better.

Alright, I'm going to roll to see which unit was killed. 1-3 DH forces, 4-6 Kaguro's. Fair?
