Poop in a bucket, then tell your two workers to fight to the death, and the bucket is the only allowed weapon.

Weren't the two workers put on silver duty?
And I thought we were doing the turnip cellar since it is winter and that is mostly indoors work.

>>7629443
: /

Not the usual reaction to say the least. Waiting for more serious response.

On the building project, a well, a turnip cellar, repairing the keep some, palisades, watchtowers, better housing and a smithy have all been discussed. The smithy will need a smith, all the others are do-able at the moment.

Also, where did you want the smoke room? Map attached.

>>7629443
I am seconding this notion.

>>7629537

South of the cattle shed next to the river in case of fire.

>>7629537
My vote for the next building project are keep renovations, since the approaching tournament is a more immediate concern. Also, maybe place the smoke room in the peasant village next to the cattle shed. It's close to the forest and far from the swamp, so it won't attract any trolls.

>>7629609
Still waiting for the architect

>>7629628
If keep renovations aren't currently doable, then I suppose the smithy would be the next best option.

>>7629639
still waiting for a smith

>>7629443
This. The winner gets to keep his life, and receives a promotion.

>>7629483
Sounds familiar, never put it on my spreadsheet, so it got forgottern. :$ Doing now.

What size turnip cellar do you want?
175 work, allows your current granary to store turnips
200 will upsize your granary by 50 in addition to this
300 upsize by 200
600 upsize by 300, will also be more easily defendable in the event of a siege.
1100 as above, but doubles as a watchtower and will have living space for soldiers.

>>7629659
200 so we can finish in a month, by then we should have an architect or smith for the other projects. But this is something we should revisit after the tournament.

>>7629701
Sounds good.

>>7629443
>>7629557
>>7629652
Ignoring retarded ideas. If you can convince me that it's in character (as /tg/ has played TG thus far) or a good idea you can do it.

>>7629701
As things stand you have 163 work/month. So It'll be two months. Also, we have 2 carts (counts as extra worker, effectively doubling a workers ability to work) and 2 ropes (+1d5 work/month each) spare, so feel free to allocate them.

>>7629659

Quest Lord, do we have any women at our disposal?

It's been a very long time since we've had sex and we need a release otherwise LORD WILL GO CRAZY!!!

>>7629443

>>7629659
FUCK YEAR LORD QUEST.

I am so glad I didn't miss it this time.
300 upsize by 200 option please.

>>7629752

Of course it's a good idea! It teaches the peasents not be idle and sitting around. That and it is great entertainment. Will boost morale among the nobility.

Blood Sports are a staple of any great kingdom. UFC, Underground Boxing, Muay Thai, Mortal Kombat, Dog Fighting, America's funniest home video's, 4chan, etc...

>>7629785
agreed since it would take two months anyway might as well go for the 300 option.

>>7629823
We are one of the few lords that are looked upto by our towns folk. We are trying to keep it that way thanks.

Hmm, I was thinking...how is the river trade in this parts? Would it be sensible to construct a pier some where for a resupply point? If we are lucky it would help with other trading endeavors.

Sorry for all the retarded posts Quest Lord. It is weekend time and the kids up.

>>7629834
this

>>7629752
OP, in the future, there's no need to even acknowledge dumb ideas. As quest threads get more popular or longer, you're more likely to attract trolls. Just keep on rolling.

>>7629834

Who gives a rats ass about what the peasent folk think? As long I am feeding them they can keep there opinions to themsleves.

Seriously /TG were a goddamn lord, Lords need entertainment at the expense of the peasentry sometime... remember those things God does, like earthquakes and natural disasters, yeah.. he needs some lulz too.

>>7629835
Yes, or/and take toll, quite common to build castles right next to rivers for this specific reason.

What's Cohen Mikenzy doing currently? I think he mentioned he wanted to know what was going on at Greenhall, which I took to mean he'll want to travel there and catch up.

>>7629860

BAAAWWWW All these threads and nothing cool or interesting has happened.

"hey guys, lets make a 100+ post thread about building a fucking tannery".

>>7629825

Sure.

>>7629841
Silly underage b&. They think they're so witty. Laughingelf.jpg

>>7629835
River trade is viable, and your neighbours to the south do it. You however don't know much about it, either does any of your advisors. Baldric was helpful in summing up the peasantries reaction to the idea of boats: "What? On the water? Unhealthy that is. Almost as bad as swimming in it, or *gasp* - washing!"

>>7629913
I think we are waiting for the new month to find out.

Capture one of the commoner families and give the head of the household the choice of either raping his family, or killing them with a hog skull. If he elects neither, do both in that order. Afterward, have him publicly executed for his crimes with a message that you will not tolerate evil under your rule.

>>7629924
Ignore and move on if you don't like it.

>>7629860
The downside to popularity. Had to happen sooner or later.

>>7629913
He's chilling out atm, making the most of your hospitality. He's just travelled here from the Isles, he's happy just chilling for now. A little bit of hunting, a big bit of rest and a lot of catching up on the news with DOOOBS!

>>7629925
We must remember to ask our neighbors when the tournament comes.

so, new month?

>>7629924
Well the thing is, there's a crowd that's into micromanaging, another that's into RPing and another that's into spectacularly successful and terrible dice rolls, with some overlap between the three. No one complains when they're bit isn't in play at the moment.

You'll be ignored from here on out.

>>7629925
Regarding the toll, I'd say we not do it. It'd be a tiny income addition if any, since boat's don't seem all that common.

>>7630006
Right after I finish dinner. Omming some noms, brb.

In the meantime discuss some ideas or whatever. I liked the sound of river trade, if you can work out a way to implement it, you might get an overall bonus to the cash you make by trading.

>>7629925
Does the river freeze over in the winter, or is trade tstill viable then? Also, could a harbourmaster or something be hired from the southern neighbour? Alternativly, we should inquire him about it. Have we had contact with him before?

>>7630069
He is one of our best friends/distant mentor at the moment.

>>7630069

we would need a harbor or some kind of docking mechanic.

What kind of river trade are we talking here? is our goal to have big riverbarges float down and dock(like the Nile, or Mississippi river?) or something more akin to just a pier where some people in canoes come by to drop off skins?

>>7630069
Well river trade is mostly useful, when moving items in bulk. Now that we have the tannery going and we have found a market for our stone I'd say we qualify. We construct a pier and then spread the news to our trading partners.

>>7630124
That depends of the wideness and depth of the river and also with what wares are needed elsewhere. And of course we need. That i don't know, currently.

>>7630152
This idea is pro. Move the stone and shit river wise and save mass amounts of money on transit, plus have the addition of fast trade. It would give us the edge on a lot of the other quarry in the area. We would still need sailors, or a ship captain for the boats. We probably should ask ourselves, WWSheffD?

>>7630069
It freezes a little, but you wouldn't imagine it would be enough to hinder trade. The thin frost it gets if famous for shattering under any weight, meaning the snow that builds up on it will break the ice's surface before hiding it.

>>7630189
The river is deep and wide enough to supoprt river trading further down, and it doesn't seem that different here in depth/width. You can only make a guess, not having expertise in the area though.

>>7630235
I don't know what Sheff would do. But our usual procedure would be to send our trusty dwarf to inquire about any captains interested in the trade.

He's done. In fact, he'll likely be off this month if you don't have any new projects for him.

Also, shit those stockpiles are hard to read as I post them :$ I'll try and find a way to make them more easily read. Because they're a nightmare as is.

Can we get Erik to start translating that Magic Scroll? He isn't teaching us anything right now, and might as well put his ass to work. Can we get the lowdown on what our advisers are up to so we can put them to work?

We use the workers not needed to complete the granary expansion to plant the seeds.

Seconding this. Get Baldric to acquire some details from the family. If it's worth investigating, we'll interview them ourselves.

Got to delegate, like a boss.

>>7630594
Sure

Baldric is the only one not working.
Leold is teaching you warfare, and hanging with you being a bro in general. His lessons often consist of hunting while you discuss tactics and such. "If those deer there were bandits, how would you aproach this situation."

Doobs is training the yeomen, and doing the weekly militia training for the peasants

Smyatt is accounting

Aegon is writing the saga of your little land, but is having trouble. He's used to dealing with mythic creatures and taking leaps of artistic licence. Reality is less exciting.

Erik has just began translating that scroll again.

Zeek is healing people who need it, and generally being a good preist of Exidaid.

Marcus is cooking

Shorty is squiring DOOBS. He's comming along, and is much better then he was.

Harry is "innagradin' meself with the locals. I akwired me some likely lads to keep an eye on the seedier goings on of the village, not that they'll like'y find much."

Wrigley Spectre is researching Horticulture in general. He's making definate progress at something, you're not sure where his reasearches are leading him.

Our family bastard sword was referred to by the mage as a possible "Wild Blade" last thread. We should probably ask him what that means and if there are other swords like it around.

>>7630692
How is our dog growing up?

>>7630692
Thank you kind sir.

We should get Baldric some kind of teaching/training. Having a lackey is cool and all, but having a useless one is no bueno. Unless we are just using him as an insight to the peasant population, I say we get him training as a fighter.

>>7630692
I forgot, when did we acquire Marcus? Also, keep Harry on a short leash, since I'm afraid that when he says keeping an eye on the seedier aspects of the village, he may in fact mean introducing seedier aspects to the village.

>>7630733
He would likely stab himself in the foot.

>>7630750
Gift from Sheff

>>7630733
Baldric is as dumb as a sack of rocks so that's probably really the only route we can go as far as training him for something. We do have plenty of fighters already might want to just keep him free to run tiny errands while our more important advisers are getting shit done.

>>7630644
They've been asking around, and apparently he went to the fields as per normal one day, but dissapeared during the day. It's been the talk of the town. Look into it further (y/n) ? Get any advisors to help the investigations?

>>7630647
Nice work. Critical sucess. Alchemy skill +.3 and you have unlocked a new alchemic trick. Acidic pouches. You can craft d4 in a month. This will require an alchemy success on a d10. It will consume 1 unit of lye and 2 of ash (ash is in plentiful supply). This will be your alchemy for the month.

>>7630623
Indeed. Artagus name bonus #1/2 found. +1 favour with Artagus.

>>7630784
Look into that disappearance. Let's send harry and his crew to search, tell him if he goes outside of our borders with this search to take some guards with him for protection.

>>7630784
How high is our alchemy skill at the moment?

>>7630698
The wild blades were a set of swords owned by older lords in antiquity. When the "new" king whose name has been lost to time and varies with every telling conquered Erondia, they alone resisted him of all the lords. The land itself gave forth these swords, and the wild lords fought against the new order. Only the recinding of the new King's stance on the old gods caused them to stop their gurilla campaign. The families themselves are lost to time, but the Nowhen own the only certified wild blades, a pair named 'Horn' and 'Tooth'. They are today the lords of all of South Farvings and dictate much of Erondian trade policy.

Remember though, he was one of the brighter peasants from the village at the time. Most of our military is made up from those same peasants.

As for our bard, hmm... Instead of trying to have him write about the village, how about our own family history and ourselves? Let him have full access to our family history books/scrolls/whatever and let him go crazy with it, exagerating tales and all. People would love to go live under such a grand ruler as ourselves.

7630910 here

Correction, have them join the woodcutters.

Well it looks we're already producing excess amounts of food, but if we transition from having a larger amount of our farmers switch to potato we can create that surplus using less people. I don't know exactly what numbers we should use though, anyone with a mind for math here?

>>7630910
There are nough builders at the moment, have them help plant the seeds that are going to spoil.

Shame, we could have offered him a position under our own bard.

>>7631020
For some reason I really want to come down hard on this kid for abandoning his duty but really, it's such a trivial issue that maybe we should just let him go and wish him good luck.

fuck yeah! lord quest!

can we start rebuilding our castle? maybe a wall around the village or something?

>>7631034

Or 3 from the Turnips and the 2 new arrivals. However balances out best.

>>7631050
This is reasonable enough, if they get pay then the other uneducated villagers will be inspired to learn themselves.

>>7630730
He's healthy and *growing*. If he was big before, he's huge now. You can understand why Sheff is so pleased with this new breed of his.

>>7630990
10 people should do it. Free up 10 builders?
or from turnip farmers as >>7631034 suggests?

>>7631099

Agreed. Promoting learning and self-advancment may be outright suicidal in a Feudal society, but damn if it wouldn't be interesting to see how it plays out.

>>7631072
Don't worry man we're working on it, we need to get an Architect first though. By the way we sent Urist out to find one for is didn't we?

>>7631121
I'd say we do>>7631073

>>7631121
Move them from the turnip farmers.

After we finish fiddling with the farmers we should get a new month going.

>>7631153
I can't quite remember, why are we so loved? What do we do that others don't?

>>7631153
Just means we haven't had enough time to annoy enough people just yet.

>>7631211
When we were fiddling with the farmers, were balls touching?

>>7631236
We're quite nice really, we hold festivals for the peasants, walk around with the common man, do special little things like crown children jester for the day, gave them two large boars when we could have given it to visiting nobles, we don't work them too hard, and we haven't had anyone tortured or killed.

>>7631237
Who said the farmers were male? We run an equal opportunity work program here everyone gets to slave away under the hot sun.

>>7631272

That reminds me; we haven't done that "Crown a kid jester for the day" thing for a while. We should do that again sometime before the new month.

can we construct a brothel? Provide an increase in our income and peasent population. Improve morale for the soldiers.

>>7631236
Care?

You have a small estate, and originally spent time drinking with the commoners, etc. A real lord, drinking with peasants. Ain't that a turnip for the books. You took on baldric as a personal lacky, and he gets treated well (for his breeding or lack thereod), squired shorty to DOOBS, held a fair, and gave the peasants some of your hunt then.

Also, a raggard man in leather armour turns up to your door. After baldric directs him to you he introduces himself as Clint Westforrest. "Lord, I heard you were looking for a priest of the hunt? I think your search is over."

>>7631361
Clint Eastwood, obviously.

Well a priest of the hunt would be useful. Ask him what he would want for the honor? We can offer him room and board, food to eat but does he wish payment for his services? Would he be willing to hold sermons for the peasants when we are not in need of him? They'd like that.

>>7631361
Wow it's been nearly two years since we started the hunt for this guy. Well invite him inside, or outside, whatever he prefers and tell him about our temple. Perhaps we should invite our hunters to rest for the day to meet with him.

>>7631361

Ask him to join us in a drinking duel. If we win, then he will serve us for free. If not, then he can walk away of his own choosing.

>>7631305
Done. You and Baldric find a plucky young type and name him jester of the day. He goes capering off happily, telling bawdy jokes that he shouldn't have heard, but every child his ages does.

>>7631320
It's possible, but it wouldn't make a profit in a back town village like this. The soldiers get some entertainment of that sort anyway, sexual mores being fairly easy here. Most Gods around here are a bit more lax then the Christian 'God' is when it comes to that sort of stuff.

>>7631511
Anyone else up for constructing a brothel? Who are we going to get to recruit the women? Should we Import from other lands?

>>7631390
Indeed, +1 opinion.

Priests of Artagus give up their real name, and take the name of a mighty hunter/beast and the name of the place they killed their first animal.

>>7631394
Sure. He comes in, and says that he came here as soon as he heard. He was hunting Ogres in the northern woods when a wildhunter found him and borught rumour of a temple in the borderlands. He's since wandered down here, interested in hunting trolls and speccing out this temple.

>>7631480
2nd?

>>7631573
Nah, let's do it later when we're bigger. Might end up losing money at this stage.

>>7631573

Not particularly, attracts the wrong sort of people to town and we have more important things to build. We should keep in mind for later though.

>>7631361

Does he carry the most powerful long/crossbow in the world? Heh. (Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry ref.)
Check what he wants for room/board/pay, if it's reasonable, he's hired.

>>7631573

Rather than a common brothel, we should build a temple to the goddess of love and have religiously sanctioned prostitutes work in the temple. It was mentioned that the local gods are more tolerant to this kind of thing than the Christian god, so there must be a love goddess like this around, right?

>>7631586
Eh, sure. Let's give it a try. If we lose we'll just try to recruit him the old fashioned way, with money and stuff.

>>7631586
Sounds okay, but we should at least provide room and board regardless - assuming he even wants pay, of course.

>>7631586
We do have trolls in great supply, and it's about time we cull their numbers some. He can have a room and he's more than welcome to check out the temple. He should be forewarned that we haven't restored it yet.

We should bother Erik at some point to give us a list of gods and their domains.

can we do anything with the trolls besides kill them? they have not caused us any trouble yet. is this just chance or are the little ones saying stay clear of TG

>>7631606
He'll stay here as long as there's a good hunt in the offering, and by and large make this 'home base' because of the temple. However he'll likely wonder off for months or even years at a time on the strength of a rumour.

>>7631608
There are a few different godesses of that sort about. There's Val Terni, god of love. However she frowns upon prostitution. There's Sallus, the Lady of the rabbit, and patron godess of prostitutes. She has no temple or preisthood though. All prostitutes are jokingly reffered to as 'Priestesses of the Lady Sallus.' Skyre, ancient elven godess of lust is generally poorly thought of around here. And there's Falup, god of sex and fertility. His priests and preastesses give it away for free, but generally only to themselves. They don't take in initiates either, they have enough young people on hand.

>>7631690
Well, recall that they're not doing anything now because they're shit-scared of our predecessor and don't know that he's dead yet. So perhaps a raid or two would be a good idea, to kep them passive such that they don't get too bold.

>>7631716
Hm.
Falup. Fallopian Tubes?
I'll need to think about the others harder.

Also, yeah, sounds okay. Eccentric-types are fine here, and if a bit of wandering is the worst of it, then he's golden.

>>7631735

Random contemplating-
Val Terni. Vincent Valterni is a vampire in TES4: Oblivion, but that seems off. Hm.

Sallus. "Sell us"? Also a shitton of lawyers witht hat last anme, but that seems off, too.

I was thinking Teajay /tg/ is a land that shares borders with a forest of trolls /b/?

>>7631676
That'd be a loooong list. There's major and minor gods. The big 4 are Ani, Morr, Wyrd and Hojo of Life, Death, Destiny and Chance. And the one called the creator. The Creator isn't really prayed to much, a bit distant. He didn't really make anything but the big 4 there and the Titains. They covered the rest.

>>7631690
>>7631717
>>7631632
>>7631626
He'll board at the temple and hunt for himself. The temples are the only permanent residences they're allowed to have.

As for the trolls, they've been very quiet, remember they generally avoid people. You wish to organise a troll hunt now, or later?

>>7631716
Lady of the rabbit, huh? Does she only cover prostitutes or are there some other domains in her divinity?

>>7631735
>>7631768
Nope tot he pair of you. Sallus hasn't got a reference.

>>7631789
No, the troll's aren't /b/. And they're not trolls either, just trolls.

Well he has full reign to use our temple. If that's all then we should get to the next month.

>>7631795
Hmmm. I think maybe later. It'd be good if we could get rid of a significant portion in one swipe. Maybe have Sheff give us a hand.

>>7631802
Prostitutes are the main thing. She was the once-mortal ascended-to-a-god wife of Jack Rabbit god of Swinging music and rabbits, before Artegus hunted him and killed him. After that she sold her body to the gods rather then become mortal again. Seeing as most mortals can get a root whenever they feel like it, it showed some marketing savvy if nothing else.

>>7631858
Hmmm. Well she's something to keep in mind when we get bigger.

>>7631855
Note that Troll Hunting is risky work, most lords don't do it personally, but hire mercenaries to do it.

next month

When we kill the trolls it should be more of a warning to the rest of them that live in the village. Behead them and put the heads on pikes, make armor from their hides and bones. Make them continue to fear us like they did out uncle and buy us a couple more years until we can muster a significant force to wipe em all out.

>>7631931

*live in the forest.

Move to next month.

"Acidic" pouches made with two ALKALI BASES?!

MY RAGE CONSUMES!

(You may want to call them "Corrosive Pouches," unless TG is really *that* bad at alchemy.)

Alright we're at negative cash flow right now let's take the workers we just gained and move them into silver panning or peat collecting.

We need to throw the carts into something, too. We have 2 spare.

I recommend Peat, since the price isn't going to fluctate soon, and it's 2 free workers, essentially.

Where did we send Urist off to again?

>>7632138

BACK TO THE MINES!

>>7632091

Incidentatlly, what to these "Corrsoive Pouches" actually *do*?

>>7632091
I was wondering if anyone was going to pick up on this. I didn't think Ash was a base, but I was aware that Lye was. And Nuetral + Base =/= Acid. Indeed they're alkali pouches. +.3 alchemy.

rolled 5 = 5

>>7632155
Alchemy Skill is now 6
In honor of this let usa make acid bombs
rollan

Also we should gauge the demand for stone that whatsisface had - Lyann, IIRC. He was buying up a lot, I believe, so if there's a big enough market we should boost stone stockpiling and look at setting up a dock/barges for river trade.

>>7632155

When I posted that, I had the thought that it was deliberate on your part.

The ash of plants (principally hardwood) contains potassium carbonate (potash) which is a base.

rolled 3 = 3

>>7632202
No. of items produced

rolled 1 = 1

>>7632202

You burn.

>>7632247

>>7632277
>>7632247

It may be time to put away your dice.

>>7632247
You know I rolled the last two 5s for random events, I really should have left on the high streak.

>>7632306
Two different people there, both making terrible rolls.

>>7632306

>>7632277 was a 1d4 roll, forgot to clear the email field

>>7632230

Mmmm. Pouches of alkali dust, excellent for blinding opponents.

>>7632277
What were you rolloing for with a d4? We got the number of pouches.

A d6 roll for the negitive event please. The ring gave you a chance of getting a neutral event (on a 6) which can go good or bad depending on how it's handled.

rolled 5 = 5

>>7632385

Well, here's hoping.

>>7632420
At least it's high.

>>7632420
Not so bad. You get the tame negative event.

Smyatt reports that many of your stockpiles have been stolen, and the reminants ruined. The stone and bog Iron are ok, but well, I'll show you the reports:

Do we have any sand nearby?
Since we have access to lye and potash, we could make glass products.
Also! Maybe soap?
Yes! We can use excess fat to make soap. (If our alchemic understanding of bases is useful enough.)

Huh, not too bad. Destroying the alchemy set was worse really.

We could have the cleanest smelling villagers this side of the Isles. Which is good because we'll be expecting company soon enough.

>>7632484
You understand the idea, but not the specifics. If you were to find some information on it, you are confident you could do soap.

And no real sand hereabouts. There's a reason you don't have anything much glass at this side of the globe. Most sand is in the desert on the OPPOSITE side of Erondia.

>>7632519

What about the river bed? The silt may have a high enough silica content.
And info on soap... hmmm. *wonders who might have that*

Both would be excellent trade goods on the frontier.

rolled 8 = 8

Training with Leold.

>>7632550
Didn't we get a soap maker in one of the last immigrations last time?

>>7632550

That reminds me.
We understand a bit about bases, so.. we may be able to produce potassium carbonate on a larger scale using the burn plants, boil ashes in iron pots method.

We'd just need a buyer for it. Maybe someone with soapmaking knowledge.

Wonder what Baldric will have to say on this soap making business.

>>7632582
>>7632550
Indeed you did. With the lack of facilities he's become one of your new carpenters.

>>7632642

This means... he knows how to do it!
And we have enough iron to make the alkali resistant cast iron pots to do it in!
Find him, ask him to teach you the process.
Have someone start making large iron kettles.

Moderate value trade good, on the way!

While our people are busy digging and building and planting and such, are there any interesting leads that we've not followed up recently?

We're getting a bit low on cash, which is a cause for some concern. Panning for silver doesn't bring in much per month, and the price of peat is due to take a dive according to news Urist brought back from his last merchant outing.

How busy is the Northward Road? If we set to building a coaching inn or suchlike hostelry for weary travellers there's a chance that could earn us some funds over time.

Failing that, there's the copper deposits the metal-mage detected on our land, though that'd take a lot of work to extract and we still don't have a smelter or anyone who could refine it.

>>7632470

Get Harry on finding out who/what did that. Not good to be ignorant.

Also seconding working on some soap production. See if we can get a market for it with the neighboing nobles.

>>7632571
recorded.

You've learned all Leold can teach you about theory. Practical applications will be needed for you to learn any more.

>>7632470

Stolen? Ruined?

FFFFF--

Who's responsible for this outrage? 'Arry, get investigatin'. We want the culprits found and brought to account.

>>7632689

Iron has a higher melting point than copper.
We could use the iron kettles to smelt the copper.

Perhaps the metal-mage know of smelting processes, or heating processes he could teach us?
Do we have a useful blacksmith who could do the same?

Copper is also an excellent external anti-bacterial on its own, as well as a good thermal conductor and being *pretty.*

Now that I think about it, does Harry have anything in common with a certain 'escape artist'?

So what's the word on when we'll be seeing the hired blacksmith/architect/leatherworker?

>>7632778

As soon as our agents find one who's for hire and willing to come and work for us, really.

>>7632739
"I'm on it, boss. Just watch my Deeduckive skills in play."

>>7632771
Only a first name, and only by chance. I wish I had thought of that one.

>>7632763
He's buggered off. Nothing interesting around these parts, so he left.

Let's go chill with Doobs, Stark, and Shorty and drink with the peasants.

What preparations would be required to set up tournament besides the restoration of the keep. Would we need to build anything with building points or would it be a simple clear some fields and take out some chairs deal?

>>7632874

see what we can do about that soap thing.

Ask Erik or Urist how much they know about a market for this stuff, and how much we might potentially get for it.

>>7632902
Done. The peasants are all talking of their own theories on the theft, although it's mostly petty mudslinging and isn't grounded in anything much at all.

>>7633008

Making it should require at minimum:

A pot.
Some fat.
Swamp ashes.
Water.

We could refine the ashes for potassium hydroxide, or we could use our supply of sodium hydroxide (lye) instead.
Potassium hydroxide has been historically more convenient, and produces softer soap.

As for the fat.. we could use animal or vegetable oils.
The horticulturist should know a few good vegetable sources.

Speaking of the Horticulturist how far along is he, he said he was close to something. Let's see if we can learn from him.

>>7632986

Are we still set on the tourney thing? Or is it going to be another spring festival like we had last year?

The main issue with the continued insistence on holding a tournament is that it is a big deal formal social event among the nobility, the kind of thing on which reputations are made or ruined. It's not like throwing a party for your friends to show goodwill, it's like hosting a gala evening to show how you're so fucking rich you can spend money on serving peacock tongues and herb-stuffed quails and braised sirloin of giraffe and stuff. It's an ostentatious display of wealth intended to amaze and awe.

We've got 25 gold and since the price of peat took a nosedive our income's suddenly pretty limited. While hosting a grand tourney would raise our standing among the other nobles, hosting a tourney that seems in any way cheap or sub-sumptuous will turn us into a laughing stock.

We just don't have the resources to hold a sufficiently dazzling tourney just yet, so I'm in favour of sticking with a pleasantly cheerful spring festival kind of event, where expectations aren't too high and it'll be looked on as being charmingly rustic rather than pathetically shabby. Invite Lord Sheff and Lord Lyann, have a hunt and a feast, let the good times roll. It'll be cosy and friendly and relatively informal. Save the grand tourney for later, when we're well-established.

>>7633008
Soap is a luxury good herabouts, and is fairly rare. However the need for soap isn't something that is commonly believed in, as such there's a ridiculously small market. It's not something that the market here is ready for commercially, although it could be useful as a gift or a novelty.

>>7633145
It's one of those overarching goals we have like marry Sheff's daughter or rid the forest of trolls.

>>7633102
He has a good way to come yet, but he's progressing well. He's working with some trial plants in his own garden, trying out various things.

>>7633148

We will *make* a market for it!
Just like the glorious entrepreneurs we are.
Give as gifts, promote the product by word of mouth, soon everyone will want our delicious soap.

Do we have any tree nuts, or oil producing plants nearby? (And what are our principle cooking and torch fats/oils?)

Tree nut oil could be a good commodity itself...

>>7633200
Soap Baron, heh. It may well work.

>>7633200

Add aromatic herbs or flowers to it! Does alchemy include stuff like making tinctures of plants and such?

>>7633200

Here's how we do it:

1. Process vegetable etheric oils to make perfume
2. Make scented soap
3. Visit the royal court having washed with said soap and smell better than anyone else in attendance
4. ???????
5. Bitches and money.

>>7633200
No tree nuts, you don't know what they are.

Oils? You mainly use animal fats to cook in. Roasts and grills and all that magoo.

You know all this talk of soap and I realize we must smell pretty bad. We're a very rustic lord who goes hunting every day and goes messing around with alchemy and playing with his dog. We must smell like sulfur, sweat, and doghair.

>>7633240

It should, back in the day Alchemy had quite a bit to do with the 'virtues' of the plant world.
Making infusions, defining the planetary alignments of plants, even recovering inorganic elements from them.

If we have Goldenseal growing nearby, we could make a mildly antibacterial soap.

>>7633200
We should have enough animal fat as a side product of the tannery and smoke house.

>>7633145
Ithink this is about right. Given our current financial situation we should postpone the tournament for next year of if we suddenly strike it rich the end of summer.

Right well nothing else to do this month. New month?

>>7633276

Well, it's a hard shelled bulb growing on a tree. Ask the horticulturalist about them. Perhaps he'll bring them up as a source of plant oils when we ask about that.
There should at least be some pine trees with their nuts nearby...

Where do we get the fats, and how much do we have?
Also, torchlight and candles-- do they use animal tallow as well?

>>7633319
Mmmmm, a soft potash/fat soap with nice smelling flowers in it.
We'll be rolling in women and money soon. Soon.

>>7633296
You do wash in the river, and use scented herbs and such before you go out to any formal deals.

>>7633320
You'll get it first thing next thread. For now, I gotta catch some Zeds. Got a work interview tomorrow, nice and early (In the AM and everything).

Night all, someone archive this on the way out.

Next thread I have some events planned to go down too. So catch you all next time, on Dra- I mean Lord Quest.

>>7633384

Night!

>>7633384
Wait, any estimated date when this will continue?

suptg seems to be on the fritz... good luck with your job interview.

It's odd that Teajy is to be the entrepreneurs of soap.

>>7633440

Opportunity.
It must be seized.

>>7633148
>>7633200

Can we set up a mass production for the soap? Cause if its currently a high class luxury item and we can make a lot of it for a relatively low cost then it will be more attractive to the middle classes. market it as "smell like a king" Low cost+High Volume=lots of moies for TG

Never mind, it's fine now:
