[Cyphermancer]

The hobbies arrive back in the capital with the last of the bodies after several trips.

Herring

Very well the Healamancer name is Genivia. So atleast six rands. For her services.

Bulm

Not right now, the transport im think of will be more effective on roads I think. It will be done next turn.

Ding

It happens it why escorts are sent along. However, I do habe to say little bored with road work. pausing to look around.
you have alot of empty building slot ever think about taking care of that? I could build three in two turns. Price woupd vary a bit depending on what you want.

Bill and shadow head off

Krippen

Sounds good Harley thank you. If I wanted to use the rands to pay. For caster to come here what would be your policy on it . What about if I wanted to add units to my stack or promote some?

Bill heads out sending the cart back with the last of the bodies.

[_Wiz_]

To Herring

”Expensive but I guess it can’t be helped...” Harley replies with a thoughtful look. ”Herring I will leave it in your capable hands” Harley then declares as she heads out of the portal room and has the incapacitated and infected units sent in.

To Bulm

”Ah I see...” Harley replies. ”Well you are more then welcome to try it out on one of our roads when it is complete.” Harley then offers.

To Ding

”Yes I can understand that, I can’t imagine roads are the most thrilling things to make” Harley agrees. ”Fortunately that road is very close to being complete!” Harley then declares.

”Oh yes more buildings are definitely something we want at some point...” Harley agrees. ”What buildings can you make?” Harley then asks.

To Krippen

”Well just let me know who you want to hire then I will arrange most likely via Master Herring for them to come” Harley replies. ”As for promoting your units I have no problem with it after all the more powerful your stack the more useful they will be to me in a battle” Harley declares. ”How would you add units to your stack though?” Harley then questions.

To Herring

”Expensive but I guess it can’t be helped...” Harley replies with a thoughtful look. ”Herring I will leave it in your capable hands” Harley then declares as she heads out of the portal room and has the incapacitated and infected units sent in.

Of course Harley As Harley leaves the room. She feels Herring leave the capital. A short while later she feels an offer of a NAP from a Barbarian caster named Genivia. After accepting. Harley feels to allied casters enter from the MK. Harley then feels her units healed in short order. Followed shortly by her hat buzzing and both casters leaving the capital

Harley all three have been healed and will recover by morning. Genevia invited me to dinner so I will see you in the morning.

To Bulm

”Ah I see...” Harley replies. ”Well you are more then welcome to try it out on one of our roads when it is complete.” Harley then offers.

Bulm gives you a nodd before heading back to the workshop

To Ding

”Yes I can understand that, I can’t imagine roads are the most thrilling things to make” Harley agrees. ”Fortunately that road is very close to being complete!” Harley then declares.

I dont know about very close its still over two turns of casting on my own if the map is accurate.

”Oh yes more buildings are definitely something we want at some point...” Harley agrees. ”What buildings can you make?” Harley then asks.

Infantry or knights barracks. Training grounds, woof den, watch tower are the basics. Could also do a garden, natural ally grounds, cold storage, few others depending on your needs and casters that could supply juice.

To Krippen

”Well just let me know who you want to hire then I will arrange most likely via Master Herring for them to come” Harley replies. ”As for promoting your units I have no problem with it after all the more powerful your stack the more useful they will be to me in a battle” Harley declares. ”How would you add units to your stack though?” Harley then questions.

Golems also thought about maybe a turnamancer to speed up popping

[_Wiz_]

After reading Herrings note Harley writes one back of her own.

Thankyou Herring. Enjoy your evening! I will try and get you a list of casters that we want to hire next turn before the end of the turn. See you next turn.

Harley


Harley then orders the incapacitated piker to be taken to a room to rest.


To Ding

”What can I say I’m an optimist. I’ve always been a juice half full kind of girl!” Harley declares with a grin. ”Hmmmm what are the benefits of a garden and a natural ally ground?” Harley questions with a look of interest.



To Krippen

”I don’t have a problem with Golems aslong as their upkeep is not too high. I’m less worried about the upkeep of knights as I can cover their upkeep with rations...” Harley replies. ”Turnamancy might be a little more tricky as we don’t currently have a high enough levelled Turnamancy contact who would be able to boost the production of this city...” Harley thinks outloud. ”Also I’m not sure if the units popped by the boosted production has to be the same as what we’re already popping... I guess we could ask Bulm about it...” Harley adds. ”Now that I can afford to hire you more often though it might not be too long before you have a full stack anyway...” Harley then comments.


Question: Can a non caster actually posses rands? Or does Harley need to hold on to them until Krippen spends them?



Later

Harley orders the two newly turned units to meet her and Spike in a private room.

”Thankyou for coming and I would like to welcome you to the side once again” Harley declares with a smile to the two infantry.

”In the interest of the safety of the side I would like to ask you since we first encountered Warlord Breach what did he get up to? In particular did he take any actions that you know of that would further threaten the side?” Harley questions.

Garden acts like a level one farm. It can also be managed just like a farm. The natural ally grounds is more intresting. Gems, shmuckers, or dateamancers can cast on the site to pop new natural allies, it increases thier morale if staying in the grounds, it also increases the odds of popping special units of the tribe.

To Krippen

”I don’t have a problem with Golems aslong as their upkeep is not too high. I’m less worried about the upkeep of knights as I can cover their upkeep with rations...” Harley replies. ”Turnamancy might be a little more tricky as we don’t currently have a high enough levelled Turnamancy contact who would be able to boost the production of this city...” Harley thinks outloud. ”Also I’m not sure if the units popped by the boosted production has to be the same as what we’re already popping...

Was thinking of something like the woof solders. But lets see how far. The 12 rands can go.


Question: Can a non caster actually posses rands? Or does Harley need to hold on to them until Krippen spends them?

He can not.

The piker and stabber look at each other then shrug.

Archer
We went east a bit. Warlord Breach, wrote alot of messages over the first two turns. He was mad at first but slowly started to smile. It wasnt long before he started to smile we then went North and talked with the darfs and minertaurs. Formed the us into an army and we attacked.

Piker
I saw some items sent through the hat a few times some gems and I think the amulet....

[_Wiz_]

Question: We had the hub hat identified. Did we identify any additional command words to send to any hats we’re not aware of?

[Cyphermancer]

Question: We had the hub hat identified. Did we identify any additional command words to send to any hats we’re not aware of?

Now that Harley thinks of it holding the hub hat she is able to identify three other links to the hub hat.

[_Wiz_]

To Krippen

”Are there any casters you would like me to hire for you next turn?” Harley questions. ”If it helps Meta can do Knight promotions for 2 rands per level of the unit and can do up to 3 levels a turn and based on her prices I believe May would be able to make you a soldier golem for 2 rands.” Harley comments. ”We also have some woof hides in our storehouse if you did want woof soldiers made” Harley adds.

[WurmD]

My plan was to give them to master Herring make an account with him of sorts. Use the casters you dont hire, but he has an account with each turn. I have already spoken with him. About it Meta and May were two of the casters we discussed. As well as a few other contacts he has. Next turn depending was think of promoting Jab, bolt, shaft and maybe Ike. The golem I will habe to discuss with may since I want to make sure it has move. The offer of the woof pelts would help, I would be willing to take some of the pelts in place of the metal since I cant think of a good use beyond having master Herring using it to make the helm.

[WurmD]

Pugie C17 is ordered to 03.-08 in preparation of tomorrow's Hill scouting run

[_Wiz_]

Sure +1...

[Cyphermancer]

any other plans this turn?

[_Wiz_]

Ask Moonsong to charge the hammer with the last of her juice. If she can’t get her to Charge the tower and then Harley transfers it to the Hammer.

[WurmD]

Moonsong charge Hammer

All units with 4 Move train (there are a lot), specially the Big Mouth

[Cyphermancer]

Moonsong grasps the hammer the hammer giving her a shock. She then charges the tower. And Harley moves the juice into the hammer.

Units then move into the practice yard starting to training.

Head for the show?

What all are you bringing?

[WurmD]

Harley quickly pens a missive to Herring
'Sorry to disturb your dinner, we have the list of hires for next turn.

Will you be able to only come at noon, so we can get extra rations from the forest at the start of our turn,
(to then bank run, to then pay casters, and then you're free), or your plans necessitate coming at dawn?

We can do it both ways, just need to know
(if at dawn, we harvest bodies, if at noon we forage forest)
⚡

Herring 1 rand (being a best friend)
Anna 3 rands (finish farm defences)
Dee 3 rands (uncroaking probably warlord and knight)
Spi 3 or 6 rands (scout ruins and/or Antz)
Herring 6 rands (Krippen’s Crit helm)
Ding 12 rands (Garden and 2 road hexes)
James 4 rands (promote woofs to heavy)
'

[Cyphermancer]

If you are depending on those rands for hiring I would recommend as early in the turn as you can. I have messaged everyone om the list. They have agreed. However ding said he would be late. The games are tonight and he plans on attending.

[_Wiz_]

Harley writes back a quick reply.

’Thankyou Herring, we will go ahead and harvest and have the rations ready for rand conversion at the beginning of turn.

p.s I believe Krippen has already arranged with you that he’d like to hire Meta for knight upgrades.

Enjoy your night

Harley’


She then orders Crud to go ahead and Harvest the 10 whip ratz and 12 tunnel ratz for rations.


(Finishing off old conversations)


To Krippen.

Harley nods along as Krippen explains his thinking. ”That sounds very fair. Woof hides for the metal” Harley agrees. ”Would you like your share of the gems now?” Harley then offers.


To Ding

”If it’s ok with you I think we’d like to start doing one building and a couple of road hexes a turn” Harley replies. ”Starting with a garden” she declares.

”Thankyou Ding, I will see you next turn” she then adds as she bids the dirtamancer goodbye.


To turned Infantry

”Thankyou both that was very helpful” Harley declares. ”I don’t suppose you ever heard any names or sides mentioned?” Harley then asks. ”You are both dismissed. Why not go introduce yourself to the other infantry...” Harley then suggests.


(For the show)

I am not expecting trouble but I suggest Harley wears the Amulet of healing just incase and takes her hub hat with her.

For spending money maybe 300s in her purse and 4 of the 25s gems?

[WurmD]

Of course Harley, Krippen has already spoken with me.

Harvested

that would work for me Harley.

”Thankyou Ding, I will see you next turn” she then adds as she bids the dirtamancer goodbye.
Ding look a little put out by it.
I guess im fine with the building, but its only a little road work.


To turned Infantry

No your majesty we have not.

On the way to the show.

A large two story stone building stands before you. The dim sound of music drifts on the wind.

Flashes in multicolored foolamancy lights on the wall of the second floor flash before you reading. Master Carrions house of games and duels. A short line stands before an open door. The line moves quickly as Harley and Dee step into it. A large man in a red sleve less shirt stands at the door. He seems to be pinky swearing with each caster entering the the gaming house. Above the door written in flowing red script.


All guests required to pinky swear the following


I swear to not cast to influence the results of any contest. I will not attack any guests or staff while inside. I will be a good guest.

Welcome to the house of games.

[WurmD]

[Cyphermancer]

Dee steps up to the to the red shirted caster. Before Harley can claping thier pinkies. Dee speaking up.

I swear not to cast to influence the results of any contest. I will not attack any guests or staff while inside. I will be a good guest.

The red shirted man replies

Staff will not harm you or impede you in anyway. Unless to stop a fight or theft.

Harley then presents her tickets.

Ah VIP's well welcome, welcome ladies

He opens a second door. With stairs leading up

That leads to the VIP area go on up.

He turns back to the next in line.

Harley and Dee heads up the well light stairs. As they reach the second floor. The second floor is a large open area. The middle of the room is open and looks down into a pit below the first floor. Tables are spread around the floor most over looking the pit. Nine other caster are spead out over the second floor looking down Harley can see over seventy caster taking seats and drinking down stairs. A pretty caster walks up to the pair showing them to a table near the edge.

She places a menu and a second sheet of stiff paper.

The menu has a list of drink and bar food.

The stiff paper seems to be a list of the fight for the night.

[WurmD]

[Cyphermancer]

Drink prices?

None are listed

However three different kinds of beer, four kinds of ale, three wines mead, tea, coffee and chocolate are all on the menu.

[_Wiz_]

Upon hearing the redshirted casters reply to Dee once she had made her swear Harley relaxed slightly and made the swear as well when promoted to do so and presented their tickets. Harley then couldn’t help but grin slightly when she heard that they had VIP tickets.

”Have you ever been to something like this before Dee?” Harley asks casually as they ascend to the VIP area.

Reaching the second floor Harley then glances around at the other casters curious as to who they would be sharing the VIP area with.

Harley then smiles at the pretty caster as she shows them to their seats. ”I’ll have a Gobwin Sunrise...” Harley declares after glancing at the menu. ”Dee, what about you?” Harley then asks.

Once the server departs Harley then glances at the list of fights. ”Oh look at that! May has a fight!” Harley exclaims in surprise. ”And our Darfs are last...” she then comments.

”What do you think Dee? Anyone you fancy?” Harley then asks as she looks up from the playbill.

[WurmD]

Sure, but don't drink when the drink comes. At most pretend to sip

Twice before, but always on the first floor. If I remeber I think drinks are on the house for VIP's. Well with in reason.

”What do you think Dee? Anyone you fancy?” Harley then asks as she looks up from the playbill.

I will probably bet on the knight fights. Sir step for sure. I may bet on the darf fight. Carrion almost always has a few sponsed fights. Which are fun to watch. The last fight is always a good one. Last time I was here they had two shockamancers fight. It started off really flashy but then they ran out of juice.

The server returns with your drinks

would you care to place any bets. You can bet round by round or all at once.
