Expanding on Engineer:
The kobald engineer's are often the most sought after builders, both for their expertise which can easily rival that of a dwarven building, and the Marvels they are known to build. Previous homes designed by a team of such kobalds are often found as the Lair's for the most despotic of beings, who have often ousted the former builder so they can reap the rewards of the kobalds hard work.

expanding on kobald mage:
Often overlooked by most races, the kobald mage is a master of basic spells, having little access to most more powerful ones, these mages learn to utilize vast amounts of cantrips to do great amounts of damage. The mage class, Cantripologist, was created after a wizard apprentice observed the kobaldian mages, though he was never as powerful as the kobaldian mages, nor has any non-kobald ever unlocked the classes true potential.

Very well, I will be restarting this quest on friday at 18:00 4chan time.

I will be posting further lore here today in preparation for that day.

Expanding on Trapper:
Skilled at the creation, deployment, and utilization of traps, the Trapper is one of the iconic images as to what a kobald actually is. Able to make traps out of nearly anything, and universally feared by those on quests, the Trapper is one of the strongest kobalds in existence. The trapper works best with the Engineer, and together, have built some of the most feared and deadly traps, such as the dogbert, flushing trapdoor, and the indiana jones rolling ball of doom (oh wait, there's a spike pit ahead) traps.

Engineer!

Kobold engie, erectin his trap-sentries!

Expanding the Spearfighter:
The staple of any kobald fighting force, the Spearfighter is skilled at hunting, and guarding homes. Equipped with a set of javelins, the spearfighter can attack from close up, range, or participate in the trapping of enemies. A useful combat oriented class.

Expanding on the Alchemist:
The alchemist is skilled at a number of things, and is the class famed for the creation of Alchemists fire, a useful tool when combating dragons, and extremely useful in kobaldian traps. The Alchemist is capable of taming the natural world and utilizing it in strange and often dangerous brews, or powerful and to a devastating effect. Few outside the kobalds know of the true existence of kobaldian alchemists, but among those in the know, this class is among the most famous.

Very well, you are an Engineer named David Davidson.

What skills are you allocating points to?

I would suggest the pink dot in the Marshes of Hades, all the way in the upper right. Those two river branches afford some measure of protection and are easy to mark as borders. The marshes should provide a plethora of toxic ingredients for our poisons and potions. This point is relatively distant from any other resource points, which should minimize competition with other tribes while we establish ourselves.

3 points in construction, one point each in Magic, Survival, and Other.

I don't know, maybe starting closer to the trading post would be a good idea. we can expand from there, the delta to the southeast seems like a great ground to build an agriculture section on, and we can eventually run the post or hide in there if we have to.

Your skills are as follows.
Melee 20
Magic 21
Construction 23
Survival 21
Other 21

Are you sure of the location you would like to begin building your new home in?

>>16124760
I vote for the northwestern qoarter of the southern delta.

>>16124709
humans hate kobolds so i think that the suggested site is better

>>16124828
Are we sure we can't work this out peacefully? Pests or not, a kobold settlement means a guaranteed market for the traders, and we're already conveniently placed right next to their pre-established post.

Very well, 3 votes have been placed for the delta, with specifics as an area rich with copper. The teal dots now represent where copper ore is prominent.

The area that has been chosen is very fertile, what used to be swampland, yet thanks to the past few droughts has turned the area into something that many species would, and do, kill to acquire.

What is your first order of business?
(4 spearfighters, unassigned
8 unskilled, unassigned)

>>16124854
that also means a steady supply of adventurers thinking we need to be wiped out. Defend and rebuild first, then we'll see about opening trade routes. The north-east point in the marshes has access to two waterways, a key facet of pre-highway trade.

>>16124924
first order of business should be building a defense of some sort. Whether it's just an earthen bulwark disguised as a heavily overgrown hill, or an actual walled settlement. We need something to keep us safe.

>>16124958
Describe what you want, assign a number of kobalds to it, and roll a d23.

rolled 15 = 15

>>16124982
2 of our spear fighters should be watching out for any intruders at all times. The other 2 fighters, when not resting or guarding, should be helping dig out a new flat village area for our kind! 4 of the unskilled Kobolds should be searching for sources of food, and the other 4 should be helping with digging and foundation laying. Hopefully, after we get some good and flat areas to build on, we'll start making some more permanent buildings. Since we're in a former-swamp, I have a feeling that the standard underground dwelling will be difficult.

Rolling!

Alright, we shall get to the first order of buisness on friday then.

18:00 4chan time.

not enough people are posting here, so I might as well fluff it out a little more, and give you guys who are here (yet taking forever to comment/post) a chance to talk amongst yourselves and plan things out.

also, archived.

Though if you do have questions, I have say... 15 minutes before I log-off...

>What kind of kobald are you?

One who doesn't know how to spell "kobold", apparently.

Hold up a moment, I have an idea for the settlement. Pic related.

>>16125243
fairly complex, though now I understand what took you so long...

Alright, ill stay for a bit longer, and keep running this...

>>16125267
I already rolled and assigned actions; what happens, OP?

>>16125267
YES!

I would also suggest one unskilled is set to scouting and foraging, with one of the spearfighters.

>>16125277
Most of that is fairly simple, cutting down tree's and moving dirt. It will take you less than 2 hours when using 6 kobalds to set the foundation in a fairly large area.

Roll for the foragers using 1d21+4

>>16125243
Am I reading that right (as in you want to build a castle? or am I looking at it way wrong?)

An earthen mound. Simple enough, either hollow out an existing hill or build one of our own. It's torus shaped, open in the ring, solid in the center and edged. A series of planks support a canopy of vegetation, ostly loose vines, bushes, moss, et. Easy to move through, hard to see through. This is our camoflage. It's the light green parts. The dark green parts are actual grass and other native plants. The lower areas of the mount are laced with poison ivy, poison oak, bramble patches, etc. Anything that makes animals and other sentients think 'this is a bad place to be'. Our defenders can move through the foliage, even making use of small wooden siege-shields, likewise covered in greenery, to defend from and as lookout posts. those can easily be laid flat. The dark blue parts. The grey parts are the actual settled areas. housing, storage, workshops, etc. If possible, I'd like to either find a hill with a large tree at the top, or build a lookout tower and disguise it as a tree, for increased lookout capability. That's the ugly bit in the top center.

is that too complex for us?

>>16125320
...Ok, that makes a bit more sense than castle...
I can work with that. One kobald, using the foundation already set, could do that in 2-3 weeks, with each added kobald decreasing the time taken by a half, rounded down at the hour mark.

>>16125358
So, with 7 working on it, it would take 0.3281 days, is that right?

>>16125409
or about 6 hours of dedicated work, baring no mishaps happen.

Which would require a construction roll of 13+, and an other roll of 10+

and a 12+ survival roll.

rolled 13, 12, 10 = 35

>>16125440
First two rolls are for the 13+ and 10+, third is for the survival roll

>>16125425
what dice should we roll for those?

rolled 14 + 4 = 18

>>16125474
Alright, so using the flattened ground, and clearing some of the vegetation out, you order 7 kobalds to get to work, one of which was pulled off guard duty. It takes eight hours to get the thing dug out, covered in foliage, though one of your kobalds mistook a few plants for others of diffrent species, causing a two hour setback while the rest had to dissemble and re-assemble the affected parts. It wont stand up to much if you attract attention, but it is a place to begin calling home. A mound in the middle began forming as the kobalds dumped the dirt, rock, and various material there, and was then turned into a hut of sorts, similar to a sod house (complete with worms in the ceilings and walls.)

Not much to look at, (few will actually find it) but it is the start to your new life.

Night begins to fall, with the foraging team still not having returned. Still, no reason to worry yet, as it has only been a couple hours since they left. (10 ish.)

And now I end it for the night. I will see you all come friday.
