((Oh well nevermind, but I expect the king to be confused as to why wolves attacked and how the won))

((Dire Wolves are massive, and can easily kill a human before they kill them, so it could be Dire Wolves that attacked.))

((Well, that's a bit hard to say, seeing as Dire Wolves are extinct IRL.))

((Well, that's a bit hard to say, seeing as Dire Wolves are extinct IRL.))

((I am going by the fantasy ones, so yep its hard to tell if they actually were massive in IRL, or if they could stand up to a human, but of course it could have just been alot of wolves controlled by a druid that attacked. As long as it makes since. Also I was wondering if its alright to come back into the game since it has been a while, adn I have an idea that isn't insane, and that doesn't give me a ton of power right from the start.))

((adwarf!? I Thought we killed him!  Git you ghost, Git!   Anyway Dire could work))

[adwarf]

((adwarf!? I Thought we killed him!  Git you ghost, Git!   Anyway Dire could work))

(( Thats mean , but yes Dire could work.))

[micelus]

((What exactly is your idea anyway?As in what character you've thought up? Please be balanced...By all means, go summon demons, they've been somewhat balanced.))

[Digital Hellhound]

((You showed you weren't capable of playing maturely and without godmodding, so you were kicked out. I rather doubt you've suddenly learned to play properly.))

[micelus]

((He might have though. Just get him to post his character and background. Perhaps he's changed.))

[adwarf]

((You showed you weren't capable of playing maturely and without godmodding, so you were kicked out. I rather doubt you've suddenly learned to play properly.))

((I was just being stupid, and trying to make it were I would reahc my goal, but that was idiotic, and doing that didn't make it fun, because it caused arguments, but if me wanting to come back in starts more arguments then nevermind as I don't wish to start a fight. Anyway it seems its no longer wolves, but bandits that attacked the village that will work I quess, but I liked the wolf idea better. Also thanks micelus))

[micelus]

((I just really want to see the character. I mean I'm really curious if your definition of balanced is the same as the other players. Please post it.))

[kytuzian]

((Am I done making the maps already? Or was that just a small portion of the Eelspine?))

[adwarf]

((Here was the character I was going to play as.))

Spoiler: Character (click to show/hide)

Name: Renard Kingsley
Occupation: Ex-Trader turned Pirate
Bio: Renard was born into a rich trading family who made their living off of selling spices from teh countries to the far east in Mirin, and Preston. From a young age he was taught as any nobleman would be, and was set to inherit the family business. Not long after Renard turned twelve bandits, thieves, and mercenaries began attacking, and stealing from his family ships, and there was evidence to suggest that it was a rival trading company who caused it, but before they could present the infromation to the King they fell from his graces, their possesions were taken away, and his family thrown out onto the street.

His father died the day after from cold that had stricken him, and his mother not long after as she took her own life. Renard now eighteen was thurst out into the world alone he had only worked as a trader for a short time, and was now forced to a life of crime. He decided to start a group of pirates, adn not long after managed to steal three sloops from the company who brought down his family, adn ruined Renard's life. Now broke, a wanted criminal, and pirate captain he had no choice, but to flee to Preston where he now resides with his crew waiting for a chance to brign down those who took his life. He has almost nothing of his own, but a necklace from his mother, and his father's hunting bow, but he still strives to take down the trading company who ruined him.

Starting Forces: Group of Pirates, and 3 Battered Sloops (One with a broken mast, and another with a hoel in the hull)

No Starting Funds, or Lands

[Iituem]

I'll wait until I get Knave's/Kaguro's call on any tactical designs before running the battle.  After the battle, Winter will begin.

Fakedit:  Oh hells, 9 posts.  Let's deal with this first, then.

Kytuzian:  Your maps are done of northern Eelspine, but the physical map will have to wait until I'm done making it.  There will be some points of interest as well.

adwarf:  You were banned previously, but I am a firm believer in people's ability to learn.  Post your character summary here and if I think it's balanced I may let you back in on a probationary basis.  Emphasis on the probationary; I banned you in the first place because of player complaints.

Real Edit:  Starting forces are broken, but I'd be willing to let you start out with a standard warship in place of a personal guard.  I'm wary about this character right now.  I'll mull it over.

((Oh well nevermind, but I expect the king to be confused as to why wolves attacked and how the won))

((Dire Wolves are massive, and can easily kill a human before they kill them, so it could be Dire Wolves that attacked.))

Except that, intervention of magic notwithstanding, they don't exist.  And if they're going to exist as a result of magical intervention, I'd rather it be a player wizard that did it.

On the subject of wolf attacks, whilst wolves are unlikely to attack humans in general, the fear of wolf attacks is pretty valid.  But I have to admit there aren't many incidents recorded where wolves would ever risk attacking a village.  Bandits is pretty cool though, and to settle disputes on location I'll just rule that Zandor's village is in the eastern part of Elbreth, near the Miring border.

Drua will find her Suulian healer and ask him to accompany her to Elbreth. Once she makes it to Elbreth, gather all herbal, alchemical, and cartography supplies and purchase a cart. Head to her Miring estate, and begin managing the business. Raise her personal guard again, and assign it to defend her estate from any turmoil.

Fortunately, your estate is too small to take away your attention from managing the business.  Everything gets into place quite smoothly, smoothly enough that by the end of the season you are reasonably sure you can leave a steward in place to run the business for you should you desire to venture elsewhere.  You cannot raise another personal guard this year since your last guard defected to Terenos.  Hopefully by spring things will have settled down enough in the estate for you to recruit a new crop of volunteers to serve with you.

The business will earn 5 Ducats/year.

Have Waery inject me with any remains of that painkiller stuff Drua made, then have him send some men to go look around for any refugee doctors of any quality around the city/camp, bringing them to my tent.

((Also, lol at Taric 'The Just'... "I think he's... In Preston... Well, I think that means we could off him more easily and blame in on Preston." xD ))

[4]  Ah, bliss.  You feel all your aches and troubles just float away.  [4]  Waery brings back a Prestoner doctor who was caught outside the fort when the siege started.  He seems rather resigned to his capture, though secure in the knowledge that doctors tend not to be executed for being on the other side (because who wants to waste a doctor?).  What do you want with him?

((Refusing to give taxes on that money, Taric, is pratically treason.   ))

Search Banquo's house and property for any hidden objects or other things...

[2]  Banquo didn't have a house, he had a bunk in the barracks.  You force the lock open on his chest of possessions but don't find much beyond some tawdry personal items of little worth.  There's a small sack of silver coins, but not enough to be worth noting.  You could buy your guards a few rounds of drinks with it, but that's all.

Rest.  Do not progress with project.

You of course rest, but because the penalty to your work was an artificially introduced penalty to make your bloodletting have some meaning you would still suffer the penalty on your next attempt anyway.  All delaying would do is lose you time towards finishing the project.

[5+1-1] Your scribes decide not to wait and get on with the work.  Mostly they just work on repairing their earlier errors, but a small amount of work gets done.  [Progress 1, Time: 2]  There is a great concern that it may not be physicially possible to complete the project within the allotted time, though.  You will either have to get very lucky or take extraordinary measures.

Check the quality of the bedrock

[6]  Concealed amongst the frustratingly hard rocks are several deposits of copper ore!  You now would have access to the resource... but having bent your tools out of shape have no way of extracting it.  It will not be available until the tools are repaired in Spring.

Claim land in Weyland.

[2-1]  You strike out on your own and try to resettle that parcel once more, but face the same problems you did originally.  It looks like you'll need help again.  On the bright side this time you are not attacked by a horde of strange, shadowy monsters.

Organize a house with an office and rent a warehouse and hire workers, all for 3 Ducats of credit (I hope that is sufficient).

If you were purchasing the warehouse, house and the like and aiming to set up a dock-side business, 3 Ducats would be very sufficient.  You'd make a Ducat/year in profit on shipping and handling.  Sadly, this isn't an option for you because the Guild only extends credit for a year and you wouldn't be able to make the money back in time.

The good news is that wages and rent are dirt cheap right now, so you are able to secure not only a spare office and warehouse space until the end of the year, but dockworkers and the hire of a ship for the low, low price of 1 Ducat.  This should set you up in fine stead for any active trading you engage in.

Be sure to pay off all your debts by next Autumn, or the Guild will forcibly install you in debtor's prison for the rest of your life.

Debt:  1 Ducat

((Am I done making the maps already? Or was that just a small portion of the Eelspine?))

i think you have made just a small portion

[Ardas]

((Wow, that is a lot of pirates and traders turning up recently. I guess any war always attracts carrion birds.))

[adwarf]

(( The warship is fine, but can it have to be repaired before I can take it out to seas like I would need to pay a ducat, ro more to fix it? Also can someone point me to the latest end year post?))

EDIT:
((My stuff would be like follows correct?))
