Agreed for the farms.
Maybe we could build a granary ?
Does the wisdom damage from multiple castings stack?
Multiple castings (or multiple rounds of exposure) just increase the probability the target will suffer the maximum damage (max 1d6+5 at lvl 10).
Anglon |
A granary will be helpful later. It may take a while before our farms bring consumption to zero. Claiming a hex and building a farm nets us -1 consumption. Our consumption is 5 right now. We can currently claim 1 hex and build 2 terrain improvements.
My vote is to claim the hex adjacent to us and the Sootscales (have we explored this?), build a farm there, and build a sawmill on the Sootscale hex.
Total effect: -1 consumption, +1 Control DC, +1 Stability, +1 BP/turn, -5 BP initial cost.
Forsten |
Re: the map.
1. So bits that are solid color are unexplored completely
2. the ones around the trading post with gradients on them I assume have been traveled through but not explored?
3.The Red outlined ones are claimed hexes?
With the exception that at the moment the stag lord's keep hex is not in there, yes.
So yeah we've only explored 8 hexes and claimed 2 (plus the one for this turn). Also, Harakani already said up thread that a city counts as that hexes' improvement, so no sawmills in the kobold hex.
I would say leave claiming the stag lord's fort hex until we have expanded towards it a little more, and claim one of the neighboring hexes to start farming like Anglon said.
Harakani DM |
(A) Expenditure
Decision seems to be not to raid the treasury
(B) Lyre - it's worth it but not a license to print money
Alright - Forsten, Denat, who is tracking party money. Cross off the money to build it.
is Grey building the actual Lyre?
Do it before the start of the kingdom turn :)
(C) Statue of Kurshu - what to do
I was thinking you might want to build a temple or something around the statue. At the moment it's just sort of out there. If Anglon gives the ring to the statue the ring turns to stone as well.
(D) The Stag Lord's keep - what to do
Sounds like you want to claim farm hexes first? Is that what I'm hearing?
(E) Exploration
A number of people want to get leadership. If we can get 4 cohorts I'm prepare to have them explore for you.
I'll use a very simple rule in that case; comparing (with some randomness) party CR vs hex's CR. Highest perception (with aids) used to find hidden features.
They'll get the treasure for the encounters though.
if we do it that way I'll probably just run the encounters at normal level.
If you expect them to call in if in trouble you're going to need them to have a way to do so.
If they can do a hex every two days they'll explore the immediate area pretty quickly; I'd assume you wouldn't send them more than about five or six hexes out.
What I need; Who is in the party. What is their CR. What is their movement. What is their perception. What is their communication mechanism. How far out do they go.
(F) Teams
Looks like we're agreed on this.
(G) Levelling - everyone levels during downtimes. Level 7.
Sounds like everyone is good.
(J) Magic item/spell research
Denat is doing some research. Might get him to use the UCam research rules. Is he asking for people to "Aid Another"?
Anyone else?
---
I'm prepared to do multiple years in a row if we can go fast enough. I figure once you have the plan we should be able to do a couple of years in a row.
Forsten |
B. Crossing off the 6500gp to build it leaves 1675.72gp for each runelord from the fort raid.
D. Yup, can't really do anything with the fort at the moment anyway, and I don't think we actually can claim non-contiguous hexes (those not next to currently claimed hexes) according to the base rules.
E. Gareth Moorlight is a CR 4 Ranger (Guide), 30 foot move speed (though Forsten will buy a horse from him if everyone else is mounted, and he has another way of getting 50 foot movement if needs be, though he's hesitant to use that around anyone else :p), +11 Perception and Scent, +13 Survival (+19 if tracking by scent, +15 when tracking otherwise), also has favoured terrain forests, and Terrain Bond (Ex) Allies within LOS and hearing gain +2 Initiative, Perception, Stealth, Survival and don't leave tracks within your favored terrain.
He has little interest in leading the expedition, but Forsten will definitely suggest that any of the other cohorts listen to his advice when it comes to wilderness advice. Depending on where other people's cohorts are from they may already know him anyway.
Multiple years is probably good, really need to build up threshold and expand our influence before we can build our proper capital city :)
Forsten |
I wrote up a little background for him which is with his character sheet in Forsten's profile (bottom spoiler). Newly acquired disciple is the nearest of those two options, but he's probably not going to jump straight onto the Lissala bandwagon.
Here's the background I wrote up.
Thanks to his sacrifice they managed to evade capture and find a new home, but Gareth struggled with guilt over his father's death, it was his mistake that had gotten them found to begin with. He remained with his family until his younger brother was able to hunt on his own, and then he left in the night.
His travels took him far and wide, for he had little desire to stay anywhere long, until he stumbled upon another lost soul like himself, an aged and weathered Cleric. Daon Solthorn was a cleric of Pharasma, and upon seeing Gareth he experienced a vision, seeing Gareth standing amongst the ranks of the honored leaders of a great city that accepted all beneath it's banner that proved themselves to it's leaders. Needless to say Gareth scoffed, thinking little of such a preposterous claim.
Eventually years later he found his way south west, into the Stolen Lands. Finding such an untamed, and unmolested wilderness he decide here at last was somewhere for him. Taking to a life as a woodsman, and a trapper he thought to live out his days in peace and quite, until the small trading post he rarely frequented began to expand, grand mansions going up, and the clamor of pounding hammers disturbing the peaceful lands. Retreating from even this small bastion of civilization he deliberated over what to do, only sneaking into the budding town when need forced him.
When Forsten, Temperate Runelord of Abjuration began to make inquiries amongst the local woodsmen and other folk of the land it was inevitable that Goreth's name came up. Despite maintaining his best belligerent front Forsten perservered, and managed to impress the surly woodsman and so he has begun to wonder if perhaps Daon was not right. Amongst a city of the living and the dead perhaps one with his cursed blood may be able to fit after all, and Forsten's confidence in him and his ability to train others in his skills has begun to wear away at his prickly nature, and earn his respect.
Denat Leroung |
C : Wouldn't a temple be a bit too expensive right now ?
D : Maybe we could post some guards in the keep even if we don't claim it right now ?
J : So.. downtime activites for Denat :
- Build a magic item (ioun stone of sustenance)
- Research some spells
- Research informations about implanting ioun stones
- Recruit a team of assistants to help his research
Thomas Lockwood |
"I never thought I would doubt my faith until I met this man, Anglon. His passion, his strength, his dedication, I've never seen his equal. Erastil has guided me so far, but I feel Lissala's eye upon me now as well. I pledge my service to the Runelord of Enchantment, High Priest Anglon."
CR 4. 20 ft on foot, his animal companion is his horse. Perception +8. Cleric of Erastil right now.
Anglon |
With Ronald's cohort, that makes three. I can send my level 2 bard. He would be a CR 1.
I think the statue would look good in a shrine guarded by my 10 level 1 followers.
Simon Demarkus |
Leadership here too.
I've been traveling for work, but I'll try to have everything updated by this weekend.
For my cohort I'm leaning toward a teleport spec wizard of the green. "Of the green" meaning he's a battle Mage specializing in protection of wild places.
Then again perhaps something else entirely like a Druid.
Forsten |
I think the statue would look good in a shrine guarded by my 10 level 1 followers.
Yeah I was going to suggest shrine too, it's 8 BP and can be upgraded to a temple later on. It's not the most efficient use of points but it does let our town start making minor magic items. Get the power and faith in Lissala flowing...
As for exploration/cohorts I'd say it'd be a good idea to have some of the Grey Servants tag along to provide night-watches and additional support if needed :)
Anglon |
With a kingdom size 10 and under, we should be able to found 1 new settlement (not recommended), 1 new building, 2 terrain improvements, and claim 1 hex. The first House, Mansion, Noble Villa, or Tenement we build per turn does not count towards this limit.
I didn't realize the Sootscales hex was a settlement, so disregard building a sawmill. We could build a bank and put it in the vault? The shrine in what Anglon would like, but is not really helpful right now.
Forsten |
Yeah it's 1 per kingdom, not settlement unfortunately. In a decade or so we'll be able to build more :p So It's a shrine or library I'd say, both relatively cheap and pretty thematic for runelords. My vote would be for library, maybe stick the statue in front of it for the time being :p Or if Harakani lets us upgrade the mansion to a noble villa we could stick it in the villas so it's near the runelord's houses.
Forsten |
yup, so total of 20 BP for Villa and Library. Villa is expensive but gives some decent bonuses:
Kingdom Economy +1, Loyalty +1, Stability +1; Fame +1
Discount Exotic Artisan, Luxury Store, Mansion
The discounts will be pretty handy as both stores give economy bonuses and magic item slots (admittedly minor slots but even so)
Threshold is shaping up to be a centre of learning and luxury goods :p sounds perfect to me.
Oh, the library should be placed on it's own block, as it can eventually be upgraded to a 4 lot university (in the far distant future, very expensive)
Anglon |
Just reviewing our town and got me thinking. Can we upgrade the mansion because it grows to 2x1 and the other two buildings are in the way?
Forsten |
Hmm, that may be a problem.
The kingdom building rules are also all on d20pfSRD straight out of ultimate campaign, it's what I've been referencing
Simon Demarkus |
Ok, updating my character.
+1 Eldritch Knight level
HP = 1d10 ⇒ 5
+7 skill points
+1 BAB
+1 Fort
Bonus combat feat = TBD
Diverse training = EK stacks for fighter and wizard level feat prerequisites.
Loot + 1675.72. I'll figure out what to do with that in a minute.
Edit: and a 7th level feat. Probably leadership, but still thinking about it.
Valerianna Shard |
In retrospect, I think instead of taking Dimensional Agility as a feat at this level, I'd rather take the split slot arcane discovery. Is that cool with you, Harakani?
It'll basically allow me to sacrifice one fourth level spell for two extended enlarge person spells.
Valerianna Shard |
Any suggestions on the bonus combat feat I should take?
Maybe Point Blank Shot? If so, this seems like a handy feat you could aim for down the line: Disrupting Shot
Or good old tried and true Weapon Focus. I think diverse training would eventually let you qualify for Greater Weapon Focus that way too.Simon Demarkus |
For my leadership character I've narrowed it down to a Blockbuster wizard (Mook-be-gone) or Master summoner (army of 1).
Which do you think would be more handy to have around the kingdom?
Anglon |
Simon: It looks like our cohort adventuring party is a ranger (Forsten), a cleric (Anglon), an alchemist (Ronald), and maybe a bard (also Anglon). Either one would be a good addition, but I'd go with the wizard personally.
Simon Demarkus |

True, but the master summoner is the ultimate multitool. Also it's less to keep track of. I'm playing with builds, but we'll see.
Simon Demarkus |
Here's what I have for the halfling cohort. I've sort of fallen in love with this master summoner, but I may still play with a blockbuster wizard build. We'll see.
For those that don't know "TBD" = To be Determined
The general idea is that he's a diplomat and a spy. High Diplomacy and Stealth. His familiar and his eidolon are made for stealth.
His basic background is that he was a slave. Then he made friends with the monster under his bed (Eidolon) who shared secrets with him. His master killed his family (details tbd). He summoned fire elementals after locking the master and his family in their quarters, burning their house down around them. He's not evil, but he had a moment. He fled to avoid authorities as well as to start a new life. With a little help from his friends (eidolon, familiar, summoned creatures) he reinvented himself as a "traveling diplomat." He uses this cover and his friends assistance to make a small fortune. For some reason TBD he and Simon have crossed paths and are friends. After Simon achieved some notoriety he has decided to lend him and the kingdom his particular set of skills. Diplomat. Spy. Thief. Army of one.
I'm open to name suggestions as I haven't thought of anything good yet.
Also I need to pick a feat.

Here is the draft for the Blockbuster wizard. Around 7th level he'll take improve familiar to get a mephit wand wielder.
I think I like the master summoner more, but this guy could be interesting.
What do you think the kingdom needs more? An army of one or a walking howitzer?

If you're still looking for a feat for the summoner, Superior Summoning is really good for Master Summoners. As to what the party needs more... (the cohort party that is), probably the wizard (long range communication will be fairly important considering they're going to be doing the exploration stuff). Up to you ultimately though.

I agree with you, but I think I am going to go with the master summoner. The reason being that with a permanent tame air elemental (100'fly speed and never tires) we have a means of long range communication. Either it an double move (200'/6 sec) or run (400'/rd) to deliver messages. Not sure how fly speed and running interact. Both are wicked fast.
Also we can send a wave of 11 summoned monsters into a place that last 5 minutes each. If anything survives that the party can decide to mop up or run away. Depending on the degree of success.
The wizard is fun, but I think I'l save him for another day.
Edit: Superior summoning is an excellent idea. Thank you.

Simon Demarkus |
If I've calculated correctly my leadership score is 10.
Level 7 + 0 CHA -2 Familiar + 2 Stronghold + 1 Special power (epic, among others), + 2 Great renown (started a kingdom. I should think they know who we are)
So I get a 7th level cohort, but the max level is 5, right?
Then 5 1st level followers.
I've decided that One of Simon's titles will be "The dragon." The thematic nature of Epic Firestream lends to that. Plus at 4th level epic I can do two at once. That'll be fun.
I believe for my group theme I'm going to start a subset group of elite battle mages (Theme, not necessarily class) within what will eventually be a mage school. They're living weapons and enforcers. I shall call them Ashaman (aah - Sha - man). Yes, i'm stealing the idea directly from the Wheel of Time.
They'll wear black coats with dragons on the sleeves. Basically they're like the swat team. You call them when the normal guard can't get the job done.
Forsten |
Harakani said we only get Stronghold and Special Power so far. Our kingdom does only cover 3 hexes at the moment after all :p Means that you'll have a score of 8, your cohort is fine but like me you won't get any followers yet.
As for the air elemental, if you're talking about your Eidolon that has issues if it goes too far away from you. Running (400 feet/round) it would move at 20.32 m/s, or 73.15 km/hour, or for you Americans, 45.46 miles/hour.
In addition, the eidolon and the summoner must remain within 100 feet of one another for the eidolon to remain at full strength. If the eidolon is beyond 100 feet but closer than 1,000 feet, its current and maximum hit point totals are reduced by 50%. If the eidolon is more than 1,000 feet away but closer than 10,000 feet, its current and maximum hit point totals are reduced by 75%. If the eidolon is more than 10,000 feet away, it is immediately returned to its home plane. Current hit points lost in this way are not restored when the eidolon gets closer to its summoner, but its maximum hit point total does return to normal.
The Master in Grey |
I really like watching you guys work. :)
Cohorts
The idea of a cohort exploration party is awesome. Grey doesn't have Leadership (yet) but he can contribute by sending his Acolytes along under orders to obey the Cohorts. That could be a serious bump to their effective CR depending on which undead they take. Horror is a CR 10 or so and can carry all of them. If Horror is a little too much, then I could make a custom bodyguard for Thomas Lockwood. He'd just have to cast Command Undead about once a week to keep it under control.
The Lyre
Grey can make the Lyre fast.
Base DC: 14
+5 for not knowing Fabricate. +5 for faster construction.
Final DC 24
Grey's crafting skill: +20 (includes Crafter's Fortune)
When crafting Wonderous Items Grey rolls twice for each craft check and takes the better result, and crafts at double the usual speed.
The end result of all of this is that Grey cranks out items at a rate of 1000 gp per 2 hours or work, with virtually no chance of failure.
The Lyre takes a total of 26 hours to make, or slightly less than 3 standard work days.
