Sure +1......

[Cyphermancer]

"I agree" Harley says smiling "Please tell me what they are!" She leans in avidly curious

Anne turns to the chunks of metal. Picking up one after another. She reveals the results of her castings



X3 silver metal: mythral: A light but powerful metal. When armor is made with this metal boosts the move of the wearer by two. Weapons made from this weapon gain a +1 bonus to attack from the speed of the weapon. This metal drinks in magic and takes half the magic to craft and enchant.

X4 red metal: flame steel: Armor made from this metal grants a fire restiance of three. Weapons made from this grants a +1 fire damage to the weapon.

X3 black metal: Admantine: Armor made from this metal grants the wearer dr 3. Weapons crafted from this metal grants the wielder the cutter special with this weapon. This metal is resistant to magic and take double juice to craft and enchant.

"Crud! Get it over here!" Harley yells gleefully with the force of an order

As he stomps into the Armory "Look at his!" Harley happily points to the three Adamantine ores "Armor made from this Adamantine confers the Damage Reduction of a Heavy!! Can you craft masterwork armor out of 1 of the ores? How about if we're making armor for YOU? Can you make it out of 2 of the ores?" She eagerly asks basking in the imagination of an unstoppable unit in the field

Crud looks over the metal, turning it over in his hands. Before shruging
Could maka armar for lile people. It would taka awhile atleast four turnz. As for making armor fur me would need four chunks fur a heavy. What it would do... no Idea.

[_Wiz_]

To Anna and Crud

”Hmmm for future reference do you both think you would be able to make armour that would be useable by pokadaemons?” Harley then asks. ”What about mounts? Do you think you would be able to make barding for mounts?” Harley then questions. ”And finally do you think you would be able to make armour for spell casters that would not interfere with their spell casting?” Harley then finishes.

”Well Anna I’ve got lots of ideas for things I’d like you try in the future but since it is your first time shall we start with something simple so you can gain some experience...” Harley suggests as she looks at the changemancer. ”I’ve got both a masterwork staff and a masterwork Shield could you make both items in to +1 items” Harley then requests.

[WurmD]

Clarify who you're asking what

otherwise +1

[Cyphermancer]

To Anna and Crud

”Hmmm for future reference do you both think you would be able to make armour that would be useable by pokadaemons?” Harley then asks. ”What about mounts? Do you think you would be able to make barding for mounts?” Harley then questions. ”And finally do you think you would be able to make armour for spell casters that would not interfere with their spell casting?” Harley then finishes.

Both Anna and Crud speak for a bit in hushed tones. Anna takes the lead in speaking to Harley.

Both pokedamons and mounts are generally unarmored. However making armor for them should be possiable. Each suit would have to be custom made however and may inpact their movement totals. Mount would take two chunks of metal to make barding for them.

”Well Anna I’ve got lots of ideas for things I’d like you try in the future but since it is your first time shall we start with something simple so you can gain some experience...” Harley suggests as she looks at the changemancer. ”I’ve got both a masterwork staff and a masterwork Shield could you make both items in to +1 items” Harley then requests.

Anna looks over both items before answering

I should be able to enchant both items. It would also be differnt enchantment one of defense and one of combat. So should be good xp wise. Would you like me to start? Also we should discuss my fee. In the past you have paided me 3 rands for my juice. However, I have leveled. If you only want to pay me for 200 juice that is fine. If you want my full juice value I'm afraid I will have to charge you five rands.

[WurmD]

"Yes yes, 5 Rands that's perfect, congratulations! by the way" replies Harley with a enthused smile that reaches her eyes "Please go ahead."

As Harley ponders what she heard she then double checks "Anna, regular armor's hindering movements on a unarmoured unit already reduces Move by 2, while the masterwork versions are smooth enough to not do so. Was this what you meant? Do you confirm that you expect custom masterwork armor on Pokes to not lose them Move?"

[_Wiz_]

+1 but add the following

”And what about casters? Do you think you would’ve able to make armour that casters are still able to cast in?” Harley asks.

”That should leave you 25 juice left over correct? Any suggestions what we could do with your last 25 juice?” Harley then asks.

[WurmD]

-5 Rands

Was this what you meant? Do you confirm that you expect custom masterwork armor on Pokes to not lose them Move?"


Im not sure I have never made masterwork armor for non humans. I think the mythral barding may be the best bet for barding however.

”And what about casters? Do you think you would’ve able to make armour that casters are still able to cast in?” Harley asks.

armor for casters. I know enchanted robes are worn by many caster to boost their defense. It would need to be light weight. Again the mythral would be the best bet. However not sure if it would leave them as free as robes.

”That should leave you 25 juice left over correct? Any suggestions what we could do with your last 25 juice?” Harley then asks.


Identify a magic item if you have any would be the best use.

[_Wiz_]

”As luck would have it I do have a couple of magic items that could do with identifying. I was going to get Herring to do it but if you were to identify one of them that would save him some juice that I could get him to use elsewhere.” Harley replies.

Harley then orders one of the pikers to bring up the unidentified magical spear.

”Hear you go Anna if you could identify this spear that would be great!” Harley then declares once the piker and the spear arrives.

Anna nodds and sets to work. She starts with enchanting the quarter staff.

MW quarter staff upgraded to +1 quarter staff
MW shield upgraded to +1 shield

She then turns to Identify of the spear

+1 spear.

Anna then turns back to Harley

If there is nothing else your majesty I will take me leave.

[_Wiz_]

”Thankyou Anna, yes I think that’s all for now” Harley replies with a smile. ”I’ll see you next turn” Harley then adds.

Harley then seeks out the next casters on her list.

James

”James, I’d like you to promote a couple of mounts to heavy this turn. A Doe Deer and a Hobby Horse. They are a couple of hexes outside the city if that is ok?” Harley then asks.

Herring

”Herring could you identify this suit of armour then I’d like to talk to you about Carnying some mounts so that they avoid movement penalties from mountain hexes. “ Harley declares.

[WurmD]

Change James to

"James, I’d like you to promote a couple of mounts to heavy this turn. A Doe Deer and a Hobby Horse. They are 2.5 Move down our Northeastern road, is that OK? " Harley posits

Then +1

[_Wiz_]

I wouldn’t offer the mount unless he asks for one but happy to add the details of exactly how far out the hex is.

Edit: now +1

[Cyphermancer]

”Thankyou Anna, yes I think that’s all for now” Harley replies with a smile. ”I’ll see you next turn” Harley then adds.


Anna smiles and takes her leave.


Harley then seeks out the next casters on her list.

James

"James, I’d like you to promote a couple of mounts to heavy this turn. A Doe Deer and a Hobby Horse. They are 2.5 Move down our Northeastern road, is that OK? " Harley posits

James looks a little puzzled at first

2.5 move? Ohhh so 5 hexes along the road. Well that shouldn't be a problem. I normally charge a roaming fee, but I can wave that as long as you provide a large enough escort.

Herring

”Herring could you identify this suit of armour then I’d like to talk to you about Carnying some mounts so that they avoid movement penalties from mountain hexes. “ Harley declares.

Identifying of the armor shouldnt be a problem. As for the terrain buff. There arw to versions of the spell the weak version ignores the penalty for one hex. While the advance does it for several hexes. Weak cost 25 juice while the advance cost 100. It is terrain dependant so you will have to pick which type. Heavy forest, Hills, swamp, ect.

[WurmD]

To James
"Very well, we already have planned to have a large force move down to road later in the turn, albeit it will mean a bit more wait time" Harley apologetically mentions

[_Wiz_]

+1


Herring

”Please go ahead and identify the armour while I work out the logistics of which mounts will need to be carnyed...” Harley replies

[WurmD]

+1\\\\\\\\\\\

[Cyphermancer]

To James
"Very well, we already have planned to have a large force move down to road later in the turn, albeit it will mean a bit more wait time" Harley apologetically mentions

I can give a little time. As long as you pay for my services now.

James sits down to wait

Herring

”Please go ahead and identify the armour while I work out the logistics of which mounts will need to be carnyed...” Harley replies

Alright working on the armor

Magical armor----> +1 armor

[Cyphermancer]

With anna leaving


Harley feels three new casters arrive. In the city

A piker comes running up to harley saluting before speaking

Your majesty, Caster Dogg, Caster Meta, and Caster Smok have arrived.

[_Wiz_]

To Herring


Harley does some quick calculations before continuing with Herring. "I'm going to need 8 Hobby Horse mounts to be carnyed to ignore the movement penalty of one hill hex each. They're currently 2.5 move down our north eastern road and I'll need for you to carny them in the field. That's not a problem is it?" Harley then asks.

Once finished talking to Herring Harley then greets the newly arrived casters.

"Gentlemen thankyou for coming" Harley declares with a smile.

To Ding and Smok

"Ding , Smok good to see you both" Harley greets. "As we agreed last turn if you could plant a herb garden and Ding if you could complete the Farrier aswell that would be amazing!" Harley declares happily.

To Meta

"Meta my man. I'd like you to do a bit of promotion work this turn if thats ok...." Harley begins. "I have three archers that I would like promoted to knights." Harley declares as she summons them to join them.

(Archer C17A, Archer C17B, Archer T17A to be promoted)


To Bulm

"Bulm if you could boost production on our farm again I have 75 tower juice with your name on it!" Harley declares as she seeks out the turnamancer. "Also with an additional 25 tower juice do you think you would be able to turn a scout we have taken prisoner..." Harley then asks.


To Krippen

Harley next seeks out the Barbarian warlord.

"Krippen, I have got the loot from the Antz identified. The Spear and the armour were both plus one" Harley informs. "I'd like to hire you again this turn to take part in the assault on the ruins but first I'd like to take care of your pay for last turn." Harley declares. "With that said out of the loot from the antz hex is there anything you would like to claim for your share of the loot?" Harley asks.


(Once all the above is taken care of Harley sends out the following set of orders)

Step 1

Pondsea C19A moves to farm.

Pondsea C19A 1.5 move used 14.5/16 remaining

Step 2

Bill manages farm and farmhands use extra yield

Bill 4 move used ( 5/9 remaining)
Farmhand F19A 4 move used ( 0/4 remaining)
Farmhand F19B 4 move used ( 0/4 remaining)
Farmhand F19C 4 move used ( 0/4 remaining)
Farmhand F19D 4 move used ( 0/4 remaining)

Step 3

Required units move from farm to capital

Shadow 1.5 move used (7.5/9 remaining)
Bill (mounted)
--> Pondsea C19A 1.5 move used (13/16 remaining)

Step 4

Bill Manages Fruit Garden 4 move used (1/9 move remaining)
Krippen Manages Capital 4 move used (6/10 move remaining)


(Pausing here as the next steps of the plan could change if Carrion turns up and if not we need to decide if Dee uses some tower juice for uncroaking before setting out)

[WurmD]

[Cyphermancer]

To Herring


Harley does some quick calculations before continuing with Herring. "I'm going to need 8 Hobby Horse mounts to be carnyed to ignore the movement penalty of one hill hex each. They're currently 2.5 move down our north eastern road and I'll need for you to carny them in the field. That's not a problem is it?" Harley then asks.

Herring seems to think it over

As long as the route is clear or I have an escort. So for those eight castings, the id, and the NDA's. Call it five rands?

Once finished talking to Herring Harley then greets the newly arrived casters.

"Gentlemen thankyou for coming" Harley declares with a smile.

To Ding and Smok

"Ding , Smok good to see you both" Harley greets. "As we agreed last turn if you could plant a herb garden and Ding if you could complete the Farrier aswell that would be amazing!" Harley declares happily.

Both casters give a nod. Smok again lights up passing it to Dogg. Dogg takes a deep drag before casting.

Dogg again makes a small bed of dark dirt. He then moves off to the half finished Farrier.

Smok then begins walking among the the dark dirt planting small seeds. After finishing she begins casting on the field several plants sprout in the field.

Herb Garden
[2] Stantch Leaf
[1] Bitter Root
[1] Pennilice
[4] Likkan
[1] Juicy Fruit
[1] Alonas Grace

Dogg also finishes the Farrier

Smok -5 rands
Dogg -12 rands




To Meta

"Meta my man. I'd like you to do a bit of promotion work this turn if thats ok...." Harley begins. "I have three archers that I would like promoted to knights." Harley declares as she summons them to join them.

(Archer C17A, Archer C17B, Archer T17A to be promoted)

Sounds good

He moves over to the three archers. He starts to adjust their gear and how they are standing. Before casting archers begin to grow taller, more well built, and thier gear changes to match their more deadly builds.

-6 rands.


To Bulm

"Bulm if you could boost production on our farm again I have 75 tower juice with your name on it!" Harley declares as she seeks out the turnamancer. "Also with an additional 25 tower juice do you think you would be able to turn a scout we have taken prisoner..." Harley then asks.

Sighs before thinking it over

Fine, but in exchange I want one of those pieces of rare metal I found in the store room


To Krippen

Harley next seeks out the Barbarian warlord.

"Krippen, I have got the loot from the Antz identified. The Spear and the armour were both plus one" Harley informs. "I'd like to hire you again this turn to take part in the assault on the ruins but first I'd like to take care of your pay for last turn." Harley declares. "With that said out of the loot from the antz hex is there anything you would like to claim for your share of the loot?" Harley asks.

Well, you already exchanged all the rations for rands. How About 2 rands to be held in reserve to promote the stabber that will join me next turn, 200 in gems and the +1 spear?


Holding move orders until Herring, Bulm, and Krippens conversations are finished.

[_Wiz_]

To Herring

”The route is indeed clear and you will have an escourt aswell” Harley replies with a smile. ”Five rands would be perfect!” Harley then agrees happily.

To Ding and Smok

”Excellent work the both of you!” Harley declares happily as both the new garden is planted and the farrier is finished. ”I must say I’m looking forwards to when these herbs start popping next turn!” Harley declares enthusiastically.

To Meta

”Very impressive, fine work as always Meta!” Harley complements.

To Bulm

Harley quirks and eyebrow slightly at Bulm’s response. ”Bulm this was the deal we agreed... is something wrong?” Harley questions with a look of concern. ”But I must admit I’m curious what you could do with the metal so I am willing to supply you with a piece for your project. Am I right in thinking it is the silvery metal that you are interested in?” Harley then asks.


To Krippen

Harley looks thoughtful for a moment before nodding. ”Yes that sounds fair” Harley declares with a smile. ”I’ll also temporarily equip your knights with some magical and masterwork equipment for the battle this turn...” Harley then offers.

[WurmD]

+1!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WurmD]

After Bulm replies
"Ah, I see there was a misunderstanding." starts Harley apologetically "Our initial deal was 50 of your Juice for us, plus tower castings. The addenda to that deal as we understood it is 'if we ask for more than 50 of your personal Juice, since casting on your project from the tower is distracting, we'll reimburse you the extra juice 50% over'" Harley explains
"Can this be our clarified official deal from now on, and we'll gift you the special ore for the misunderstanding?" Harley then proposes

[Cyphermancer]

To Herring

”The route is indeed clear and you will have an escourt aswell” Harley replies with a smile. ”Five rands would be perfect!” Harley then agrees happily.

Sounds good

To Ding and Smok

”Excellent work the both of you!” Harley declares happily as both the new garden is planted and the farrier is finished. ”I must say I’m looking forwards to when these herbs start popping next turn!” Harley declares enthusiastically.


I hope the Herbs serve you well dispite the lack of relaxing herbs
To Meta

”Very impressive, fine work as always Meta!” Harley complements.

Meta just gives a nod before heading off


To Bulm

Harley quirks and eyebrow slightly at Bulm’s response. ”Bulm this was the deal we agreed... is something wrong?” Harley questions with a look of concern. ”But I must admit I’m curious what you could do with the metal so I am willing to supply you with a piece for your project. Am I right in thinking it is the silvery metal that you are interested in?” Harley then asks.

Its more it gets boring doing the same thing over and over. As for the metal Im unsure of which I will use it for.


To Krippen

Harley looks thoughtful for a moment before nodding. ”Yes that sounds fair” Harley declares with a smile. ”I’ll also temporarily equip your knights with some magical and masterwork equipment for the battle this turn...” Harley then offers.


Sounds good Harley.
