I think the Udanese are more german than anything else...

[micelus]

I imagined them as mongolian-russian...Meh they're a fictional culture does it really matter?

[Taricus]

They're Udanese!

[micelus]

Question: Is the income of the inn split between ashton and me or must I manually give ducats to him?

[HailFire]

Winning them over there might require a roll.


Don't make offers, make challenges.

[CyberGenesis]

I am now home...and you're all doomed

[micelus]

Doomed? Meh, BRING IT ON!!!

(But really, please don't)

[CyberGenesis]

Blame ashton

EDIT: kytuzian, i'm assuming by 'meet atht eh tavern' you mean the estate...like the letter says

EDIT2: micelus, where do you get +1.5d in ship lease as a profit O.o?

1. Will Tala's messenger arrive before Retcyl?

Can you both link your posts about sending a messenger? so i can see what was happening when, then i can answer that question

2. Do we have a consensus on the general experience system?

That it'll happen? Yes. Specifics on it - are still cloudy. Sue me, being easier than a unit system isnt saying much. Its a secondary concern atm

3. Does Retcyl count as a general?

The idea was that yes, players would count as generals to their respective unit stacks. Logistically it sounds a tad OP. Generals will be 'hired' in some form. Seems easier that way and less OP provided Merc players will always be with their units, and non-mercs wouldn't

4. If Retcyl doesn't count, can Karafs count or is that too overpowered?

NPC? Sure, but he'll start drawing a salary as a general

5. If I happen to die, can I state who inherits my stuff?

You can state it, but same rules apply to dynastic inheritance - whether anyone agrees to it is another story.

6. Am I allowed to go on a ridiciously long trip to gather up a freakingly huge army/assassin's corps to slay my rivals?

Sure, theres a limit to your yearly/seasonal recruiting though. Especially if you're doing work to pay for them at the same time.

7. Do I start getting an income from the inn now? Or do I still have to hire some people?

Business was built, it draws yearly income - split between the owners

8. If Retcyl or Karafs is allowed to be a general, is Hatcuri Doctrine a valid trait?

Ill read it over again and see

[CyberGenesis]

Ok so i have most of the actions written up, i need to write for the internal galam information, but i've posted the other stuff

Ill write up galam in the morning

anything dire that is missing, please PM a link to it and i'll get to that in the morning as well....just so very tired

Get subordinates to look for a brewer willing to serve a hatcuri. Make it known the condition of the inn. Also look for an architect and bring him back. Send messengers to the ships and tell them to find someone to lease the ships and crews. Make sure the mechanic knows. Send most of the remainder to scout out the city and look for anything interesting in the city. Listen for rumours.

[1] Your subordiates have no luck recruiting any brewers, and some come back with injuries from xenophobic citizens. Things may be a bit harder for you when you're out in the city, if they realize that you're staying here indefinitely.
[6] You find Hugo
[5] The ship captain manages to secure a good deal as an outrigger, three ducats a year for both ships serving.
[1] The Hatcuri that you send out to scout end up suffering the same fate as the group asking around for a brewer, coming back with a fair few bruises.
[6] You manage to get a good pulse on what's going on in the city, of course, most of it relates to roving groups of large, bipedal lizards. Atleast you'll be able to avoid them now, if they don't realize where you're staying.

Since two ships was OP, it was reduced by half.

Tala waited 10 minutes before returning to the party. It seemed the man was to remain mysterious to her. Too bad. She needed allies here, not mysterious messengers.

She called over one of her guards-the silent one, Veritas. The poor man had his tounge branded when he was a slave youth, and could only communicate in affirmatives and negatives. She had a soft spot for him.

"Veritas, my dear-I need you to handle some things...

First, find out where the charming fellow in the mask is staying, and have a single green Rose sent to his bedside-no note. He wants to be mysterious, let the game begin, then.

She smiled. The dark green Rose that was her favorite-it came from her homeland, and was not in fact, on display at the party. Men always remarked how it matched the color of her eyes. She had no doubt it would get his attention. Its thorns were quite sharp though...

"Next, send a letter to the estate and the villa. Standard orders. Be firm, yet polite. But, no mercy to those found on those who trespass.

I do hope the ambassador has his papers in order...accidents happen, all the time..."

Veritas nodded, and left.

'Tala' spent a few moments regarding the indifferent stars under a pale half moon before heading back.

The hatcuri had already begun their trip to Lady Tala's estate. Of course this did not mean that Retcyl was leaving Thunderblade to deal with the problem himself, it was just to draw out the bandits.

Retcyl had made sure that several smaller groups of hatcuri were some distance away from the main group. These smaller groups would hopefully lure out the bandits. If they took the bait, the hatcuri with them would instantly offer them jobs with Retcyl, if they didn't accept then the regiment would come and kill them. Course there was always the chance that the bandits wouldn't come, but he had thought of that already. He had sent a few scouts to travel the areas where bandits were seen and try to speak with them and offer them jobs. Unfortunately, he would have to kill the bandits soon after otherwise the queen would have Retcyl's own head for a trophy...Course that didn't mean he had to kill them immediately.

Should diplomacy fail, then Retcyl could always order his men into the areas were bandits were seen...

But enough of this planning, Retcyl had some writing to do.

Spoiler: To Hugo Van Vissersdorp (click to show/hide)

Hugo,

I have heard that the inn has been completed. I trust you've done a good job? Would you mind telling the former innkeep that he has a new inn to keep?

The inn also needs some workers, such as waiters and guards....What were the names of the former workers again? I believe they were Senn, Paul...and well I can't remember the rest. Anyway, it's Your job to find out and if needed, get me some more.

A final thing: How was your business with your clients? Do we have a deal with them yet?

Regards,

Retcyl

To Kawakai

I understand you left me sometime ago; very well, your more useful in the city than out here anyway. I understand that the inn has been completed and since that it's completed, you could probably apprentice a few engineers to you. We'll need engineers to help with our tasks here especially with how things are going.

PS: I've heard that you have affections for humans...Sexual attractions or just Play? I don't know why You'd be attracted to these smooth-skins, but make sure you don't go to far into these things. Remember always that we have a task to play here, and we need to Hire men.

Regards,

Retcyl

Hopefully they would both understand the messages.

March towards Lady Tala's land, while making sure several smaller groups are left a distance behind or ahead. If bandits attack, offer them jobs. If not, get regiment to capture them.Send scouts to look around the areas the bandits were seen in. Offer the same deal. Send messages.

There.


My thing ain't dire so no complaints from me. Night CG.

[Taricus]

Possibly roll to see if the thief got a couple of crossbow bolts from the guards on the walls?

[Dwarmin]

Rolled a 1 and done.

[filiusenox]

Oh god bad trip, man....
Did this prince of whatever leave the tether in?

[Taricus]

That thief is going to get it! I swear!

[Dwarmin]

Yes, he would have left his grappling hook gun behind, though it's obviously a one-shot sort of device, that will have to be studied before it can be back engineered.
