Lord Narmor writes:

I have heard of the treachery in your ranks. Harvest has given us all a chance to survive winter. The Frost Giants will not ignore us this winter. We must send them a message. Ive sent 200 men into the west to range and engage these Giants. My original request to have you provide troops was foolish of me. I should have noted that you are not large in populace.

Let us change that.

I wish to provide wives for your Half Orcs so we may unite our factions and settle the areas between. There are many widows and wives of fallen soldiers here.

I agree to build a road to you this phase as well. Our colonies will be connected.

Trade deal

He offers
Adds +100 pop to your colony, provides 22 of your Half Orcs with Human Wives.
Adds a road connecting your colony to his. (Freedom of movement between both locations for any character in a phase)
Military Research
Crab (1)

He wants
(50) half orcs to protect the builders from polar bear attacks
A mutual pledge to provide military aid to defend Narmor from attack, or vice versa
Agriculture Research
Pigs (1)

From the Hand of the King
Ser Montgomery Friedman
The King Requests a wall of stone be built from 13,9 to 13,10 to the marsh edge to repel the winter threat of Giants ranging East. The king fears Giants may move into Rodoripol.

You have 4 phases to accomplish this.

Reward: +1 support of crown, +3000 gold, +200 Human Soldiers to man the wall.

Penalty: failure to build the wall may result in loss of crown support, or worse, allow a Giant invasion into Rodoripol.

(Kings proposed plan places Narmor on the far side of the wall as well)

Emilau:

We have Masonry
To build stone walls we need 2 stone and 50 workers for each tile we build a wall in.

Since it's a new phase, I would like to propose the following to the group:

##Proposal 3.1.0 - Tyson's Farm
I would like to take 10 Half-Orcs and return to my starting ranch with the pigs we have and continue expanding our livestock. Those Orcs can work with me, learn what I know, and assist as the herd grows and we expand more livestock.

The nay side would be for me to stay in Skaramor and restart here. After the betrayal, I find it hard for me to consider starting my ranch up by myself...

Also, considering we have no stone, i'm planning on writing to Narmor asking if they would help us build a wall, and in exchange we can expand the wall to cover their border. obviously we would probably have to trade some of our resources as well. All good with @everyone ?

I am not a huge fan of spending this phase building this wall, but I suppose now is better than in the dead of winter. I am also not excited about the prospect of our builders being attacked by polar bears. Sending people out to build these walls right now is almost certainly going to get people killed. As such, I have some proposals to make.

Proposal 3.2.0 - Build a Cottage:

This requires 20 workers, as well as 1 food and 1 wood, but it would be helpful for us moving forward as it would help our population recover when we inevitably have to send good workers into dangerous situations that sadly some may not return from.

----
----

A Deal with Narmor:

Given what has transpired in the Discord, I am breaking this deal up into pieces, which we can accept or reject accordingly.

Proposal 3.3.0 - trade agricultural research for military research

Proposal 3.3.1 - give 25 orcs for protection for Narmor's workers in 13,9 while they build a road connecting our colonies

Proposal 3.3.2 - allow Narmor to send wives for our orcs, +100 population to our settlement

Proposal 3.3.3 - agree to a mutual, two-way pledge to provide military aid in the event of an attack on Narmor's settlement and agree to accept his pledge to provide military aid in the event of an attack on our settlement.

Proposal 3.3.4 - send one pig to Lord Narmor in exchange for one crab.

From our conversation tonight:

Proposal 3.3.5 - Avendi offers services as a field commander in the fight against the giants this winter in return for 8 stone

To anyone not reading discord: The prince has been captured by that merchant who came into town today. He has an ability to turn people into stone. Thats why we used the faith to heal the party.

##Vote yes on Proposal 3.3.0, 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3, 3.3.4

##Vote no on proposal 3.2.0: We still have space for twice out numbers in these ruins (500 total pop fits). I don't think we can afford to use the resources to build a cottage right now.

I don't really know what to say about Tysons proposal. I guess we can send him a few Orc's? I'll wait to hear what the rest of you have to say

#Proposal 3.4.0: get Olebew as our second specialist.

Draft phase 3 worker allocation:

99 Halflings, 96 Half Orcs, 10 Hill Dwarven prisoners

Halflings:

30/90 Fishing Boats 30 Halflings use 2 wood to build fishing boats
70/90 Market 40 Halflings use 2 wood and 300 of Xanthor's personal gold to build a market
90/90 20 Halflings to assist in building stage 1 of wall section 1 in 13,9

Half Orcs:
25/95 25 Half Orcs for protection for the road builders in 13,9
45/95 20 Half Orcs for stage 1 of wall section 1 in 13,9, stone supplied by Narmor
85/95 40 Half Orcs hunt in 15,10
95/95 10 Half Orcs to protect Tyson's farm

Hill Dwarves:
10/10 Build stage 1 of wall section 1 in 13,9 under supervision
(Leftover workers 1 Half Orc and 9 Halflings guard the prisoners while they work on the wall)

I'm open to ideas on updating/changing this, let me know here or on discord.



Also, just and idea, we should come up with a lottery or something to distribute wives to the half orcs since there are only like 20 something

I agree with the worker allocation and support it - I think it accomplishes a majority of what we need considering we are in a surplus of food right now and can afford to have a delay in replanting crops.

I would say, instead of a lottery, how about a tournament? It would take a little organizing, but it could boost morale to have competitions of strength to award the wives.

If its all the same for the workers, we should have the 9 halflings work on the walls, and have 10 orc's protecting the workers.

I vote to all proposals as follows.
Proposal 3.3.0 - trade agricultural research for military research - Yes

Proposal 3.3.1 - give 25 orcs for protection for Narmor's workers in 13,9 while they build a road connecting our colonies - Yes

Proposal 3.3.2 - allow Narmor to send wives for our orcs, +100 population to our settlement - Yes

Proposal 3.3.3 - agree to a mutual, two-way pledge to provide military aid in the event of an attack on Narmor's settlement and agree to accept his pledge to provide military aid in the event of an attack on our settlement. - Yes

Proposal 3.3.4 - send one pig to Lord Narmor in exchange for one crab. - Yes

Proposal 3.3.5 - Avendi offers services as a field commander in the fight against the giants this winter in return for 8 stone - Yes

Proposal 3.4.0: get Olebew as our second specialist. - Yes

Same
Proposal 3.3.0 - trade agricultural research for military research - Yes

Proposal 3.3.1 - give 25 orcs for protection for Narmor's workers in 13,9 while they build a road connecting our colonies - Yes

Proposal 3.3.2 - allow Narmor to send wives for our orcs, +100 population to our settlement - Yes

Proposal 3.3.3 - agree to a mutual, two-way pledge to provide military aid in the event of an attack on Narmor's settlement and agree to accept his pledge to provide military aid in the event of an attack on our settlement. - Yes

Proposal 3.3.5 - Avendi offers services as a field commander in the fight against the giants this winter in return for 8 stone - Yes

Proposal 3.4.0: get Olebew as our second specialist. - Yes

But you can see that 3.3.4 isn't on the list.
##vote no on proposal 3.3.4 Tyson may breed pigs so I don't think we should give it.

##Vote Yea on Proposal 3.2
##Vote Yea on all of Proposal 3.3
##Vote Yea on Proposal 3.4

I can't see any reason not to send some Orcs to help Tyson out, particularly given that he's selflessly giving one of his only 2 pigs to help us with Narmor.

##Vote Yea on Proposal 3.1

Most of the worker allocation is good, but can we make fishing boats if we haven't got Sailing yet??

Good point, I was planning on discovering it this phase and needed to talk to the GM's about if we could do them concurrently

GM's have confirmed we can do them concurrently.

A small boat with oars has no sails, a small simple boat should be within our capabilities.

I think we need to request a cargo ship from the king, we need to be able to import wood

Until we bring the young prince back, I fear our requests will fall on deaf ears. If we keep our heads on our shoulders at all!
