>>Hernando the dwarf, a master mason and great drinking friend. He knows the secret of tunnels not collapsing, and digging through rock.

>>40657323
Quickly you rush to Hecktors workshop, easy to locate due to its status of being on fire.
"HEKTOR!", you bellow, "Ï HAVE AN IDEA! FOLLOW ME!" you grab him by his robe and start dragging him off. He starts yelling something, but you never got anywhere by listening to mages. "Oh no Krognar, don't touch that", Pah! that demon gave wonderful horns, sure it raised your tax bracket or some such arcane foolery, but what glorious combat!

>>40657334
just running through the allies before giving you choices of equipment and destination. But I'll do him next!

>>40657352
Dragging your faithful friend, you swiftly locate the dwarf in the cheapest, most vile drinking pit this city has. Inside you hear the noise of a mighty brawl going on, and although you are bereft of weapons(besides a wizard), you can hear your friend inside as well. what a convenient excuse!
TO ARMS!

You kick down the door with a great yeall, loud enough to wake the ancestors!
Standing on the door you swing your weapon fiercely, and it too screams in joy!
If you had know a little rassling would awake such a manly spirit inside your friend you would have done this a long time ago!
You stand on the door, backlit by sunlight, swinging your weapon at any who dare challenge your might, untill the door lurches and starts to rise.
Luckily as a son of Krong, you could balance on the back of a dragon and a mere door holds no challenge, even as it leaps forward into the fray again!
It's only after the last foe is felled by your noble mount crushing him against a table you notice your friend is nowhere to see.
Ah! you look under the table, and indeed it is he!
"COME FRIEND! IT IS TIME FOR FREEDOM AND ADVENTURE! ONWARDS! TO THE TEMPLE!"

>>40657599
Dragging your wizard friend and proceeded by a stout comrade, you rush towards the temple in this district, where else could your cleanest companion reside?
You mount the steps two at a time, relishing the cries of the fearful (in this case quite probably your wizard as he impacts the stone steps), and reach the top in no time at all!
The eucenemical generic temple, part of a series erected by a past King in an attempt to appease all dieties simultaneosly.
He was smited shortly after completion of the first, but none were desecrated due to divine politics. It does make it more confusing when looting a temple however.
You kick open the doors with your mighty boot, and scream over the morning prayers, "SHIRLEY! COME AT ONCE! I HAD AN IDEA"
You see the other priests give her a look and start shoving her in your direction.
That was easier!
You ignore the ceaseless prattling of your allies and make your way back to your impenatrable fortress, which, due to zoning and economic reasons is a small room in the sewers, decorated with the finest rat furs you could hunt. You are certain that Millie will have heard of your rampageand made her way there.
And indeed she is! you feel something breeze down your back before a whisper is in your ear "Krognar, why do you have a dead rabbit in your money purse instead of coins?"
You explain your brilliance, that by switching the coins to your loincloth none shall be able to pick-pocket you again! After indicating the brown-yellow stained garment,you notice that she looks a little off-colour. perhaps imagining the fury you would unleash upon such an act?
You drop your friend on a fur pile and give them the gist of your plan. The only one likely to object is currently unconscious due to temple steps, so the group decides to entertain your madness for a few months, certain it will wear thin.

Forest it is!

You explain to the others the depths of your genius!
There was that quest you went on about 3 months ago that took you to an old tower deep inside the forest. Surely if you go back there now and clean it up, you can use it as the centre of your new town!
Alternatively, there was that strange clearing close to the mountain stream. That was closer to the main roads and did have that nice rockface you could carve into....

>>40657811
Gathering up your friends coins (Hecktor granted you all of his, how generous! even unable to open his eyes or talk he grants so freely!
You take the coin and visit the market, letting Hernando pick out a choice selection of tools whilst you rouse the rabble with tales of your plan, and the fruit you could all enjoy with but some sweat from your brow!

>Great Success!
>46 plebs joined your mission! they bring enough food for the journey and 2 weeks with them, as well as basic tools.
After telling the commoners which gate to meet you at when the next morning comes, you go to inspect the wares Hernando has found
"Bah! These tools are barely fit for making a shithouse!" he confides to you. But with the time constraint it's the best ypu can do. Just going to have to hope you can get some beter ones.
>Got blacksmith gear
>Got 5 Axes

On your way to the Dark forest, barely an hour into the trip, you hear a commotion frorm the rear of your caravan. Hurrying back you see a pair of City Guard, apparently there was some trouble caused by your impassioned speech yesterday, and they wish you to come back for a trial on charges of "Inciting a riot" or some such jargon.
No! you cannot let your journey come to an end already!

"Dammit man he has a point!" The other guard tries to silence his seditous companion, but to no avail.
"Last week my house got taken from me. You know why? Tax tax! I Hadn't paid my Tax tax! How the hell am I meant to know about some new tax being passed while im out on deployment I want to know? Five years of loyal service and they shit all over it like that. Sod it Old man, I'm off with him!"
The senior of the two looks a bit disgruntled, but realises this could get fairly ugly and withdraws with a scowl.
"nice to meet you mister Krognar! I'm Billius, a, well former now, guardsman. Thanks for taking me on board sir!"
>Guardsman Gained!

each pop consumes 1 food each week. Hope you boys didnt forget that earlier? Food usage is calculated at end of the week, so you will need to hunt this week or next, or risk losing people to hunger

>Success!
With some cunning thinking you get your friend Hecktor to do his girly chanting and finger wiggling at a large rock, and levitate it right up to the top! Hecktor quickly levels out the masonry there and it settles into place quite nicely. he mentions that with some work it could be converted into a lookout, either by mining a tunnel through or building scaffloding around it.
Build wall!

Bleh my clipboard is not my friend tonight.


With a song in your heart you set to chopping down trees around the camp, the commoners softening the earth and shearing off branches so you can drive logs into the ground, forming a pallisade! Hecktor spends the time talking about "sub-optimal strategy" or something, but who listens to a man in a dress anyway?
That night however, Millie translate for him:

With a bellow you summon the sentires off the wall, instructing them to take shelter inside the tower whilst you and you fellow adventurers hold the sole door.
Unfortunately three of them fall behind, and are dragged into the night screaming in ways that will doubtlessly haunt the dreams of the commoners for days to come.
You and your comrades fight as a many-headed beast, years of experiance helping you all fight with great fury, slaying several spiders before the rest eventually retreat.

Leading several smaller bands out you track the spiders back to their territory. y thinning their numbers you should drive fear into their inesctoid hearts! or at least get some tasty bits...
The skirmish starts unexpectedly, with a man screaming as he is hoisted aloft into the gloom, and more spiders dropping down around you! With huzzuha yell you rally your men, but the damage is done. another man dies from impact and another is bitten before you all slay the beasts.
On your return one of the men collapses from poison, but Shirley manages to stabalise him upon your return.

You help clear more area next to your small patch of crops, but going is hard. you get another small area cleared off though after a few days

the farmers call you out one morning to look at a strange plant they found. They say it grew up overnight and seems likely to overun one of your farms if not contained.

Once the town is off the Ground Krognar and co can start focusing on more important things than chopping trees. If you want you can send 20 commoners to attempt a task on their own, but be prepared for unintended consequences

Hernando had been missing for a few days in the tower basement, nobody really wanting to go down there for fear of what they might catch him doing to the ancient stonework, when he comes charging up into the sunlight calling for you to come and look!
"Krognar! I found a cave under the basement! I found a rich seam of Iron!"
On personal inspection there does seem to be a seam of iron running through the cavern, but you notice many tunnels running in all direction. Huh. Wonder what made them?

As you rise from you labour, you wipe the sweat from your brow. Truly a magnificent Blacksmith!
And then you notice your shadow is moving around inside of it's own volition.
With a sigh you draw your sword and stroll in. Well, there was not a large metal contraption in the corner before. Has some writing on the side. Calling Millie in, she says one end says "Ore here" over a hopper and the other "ingot outflow" over a ramp
>got Blacksmith!

Hecktor gives a cheer as you let him conduct SCIENCE!
You don't know what it is, but you hope he does it where the children can't see and ceans up after himself.
Hernando lets you know he can train some commoners to mine and forge for you.
Millie wants to know when you may be getting a bar, or even alchohol?
Shirley wants you to build a shrine

Something you do this week had better bring in food. wanna risk the plant Heckot is mucking about or hunt some more? Clearing the fields MAY help, as would getting some ore to have more farming tools (just)
