Have Treesap train 10 peasants into 10 Rangers. We're a forest kingdom, rangers are a good investment.

Speak with our Head Cleric about the Angelic Church and this whole heresy business.

>>Hire someone
Look among some of the people in our kingdom. There has to be some grizzled ex-law enforcement.

Otherwise, if we fail, look at our palace guard and see which of the men doubling up as police has shown the most eagerness in the job and has actually shown not to be corrupt.

Fund and open the KoTPD.

We need a dedicated police department

New laws

1.No theft the punishment for the first time is 3 years hard labor for the second you get your hand cut off
2.No fighting/assaulting The punishment for that is a couple nights in the stocks.
3. Gambling can be done in taverns and is limeted to 3 games per tavern.

And we need to hire/train/designate some real town guards.

But how should we go about creating such a force?

Paid town guards get paid, volunteers get training once a week from one of our lords or mages or get taught how to read.

Doesn't sound fiscally possible for anyone. Known thieves should go into forced labor, others should pay up.

Okay, pretty harsh there
>Murder is punishable by dying the way the person you murdered did
No payouts, forced labor, or anything except loss of life?
>Tax rate of 10% of all citizens. Monthly tax income: 300g
Actually sounds pretty light for medieval fantasy

It's to expensive to pay guard-ship for the whole town but you can pay a core group of guards for important parts of the city and accept volunteers.

It'll take 50 gold to pay the small regiment of town gaurd a month. Reducing your

To be fair your population just barely passed 400 until and were dirt poor until recently.

With this new program crime in general goes down, though to the chagrin of thieves and rogues.

You end the month with a gain of 450 gold: (2,300 total)

The morning after the first succesful night's watch a knight arrives, clad in shining armor and red cloak upon a brown horse. He doesn't speak a word when he reaches the gate, even when talked to by the castle guard.

>Talk down to him from the castle walls

You stand above him atop the walls of the castle gates.

"State your business fair knight. I'm afraid I can not let you in without knowing thine intentions."

To which he gets off his horse, bends to one knee, and bows to you, before presenting his sword and raising it above his head as if offering it to you.

Upon hearing this question he rises and nods his head yes. He raises his helmet slightly to reveal enough skin to hide the nature of his race, but show a huge gash mark, surrounded by old blackened scorch marks upon his throat.

You go down to the gate and welcome him inside, much to his surprise, as soon as you come close he hastily bends the knee to you again.

"Sir, if you are to serve under me, I must know by what to call you. If you can not speak, do you know how to write?"

He shakes his head slowly back in forth no.

"Then how am I to adress you?" He takes out one of his two swords, and presents it to you, upon the side reads the words "Mourn blade."

He takes the sword and puts it next to his neck, squeezes the hilt tightly, and the blade catches aflame, he lightens his grip and puts it away. Then points to the sword back to his throat.

>Raid

We need money

>>39965888
No point no seaports worth anything to us and we have no extra continental ties yet.

>>39965900
Why not raid which is scouting in force.

>>39965973

Because we need to raid selectively and carefully. The ones who would suffer would be Steelgate citizenry. If we want to effect a good near bloodless, takeover, we need to be careful in selecting targets instead of just raiding horses. Cant hurt the small folk, can't hurt the rich folk too much either since we need their backing.

>>39965973
Raiding could be bad for us, since we're the only area that bandits used to come from, and any banditry would reasonably be coming from our kingdom.
Also, considering that our brother has some influence over the Church via bribery, he'll likely try to get our raids spun as working against the peace and unity of the continent.

Also, he can still crush us militarily; he just wants to try to get us killed more cheaply than through a military campaign.

>>39966020
Which is why we're hitting his strong supporters or his assets personally it makes him look weak and cripples his ability to redeploy quickly.

>>39966031
True which is why we lay off for a little bit. Also talk to the druids about the shit he pulled. Forests are nightmares if they hate you.

You send a letter of correspondence requesting when a possible envoy to your respected might become a possibility.

>Train Mages

You go check up on the wizards in their lab and find one of them has a reptile tail now, and that the older one still has jars of jam strapped to him. You ask about training some more mages, two to look at each other and say to give them a week. This gives them an idea.

Meanwhile, you need to decide who of your brothers supporters to target for a raid.

Confer with our advisors on the possible consequences to us of each target. Also consider long-term when we wrest Steelgate back from our half-brother, if we'll need to purge people because we made them hate us by choosing targets poorly.

Sir Vigo Mortavia Alistrade Bullivardune is the merchant who own practically every facet of armor, weapons, and clothes production in the country of Steelgate and openly flaunts his wealth over all nobles outside the royal family. That said however he was always a major supporter of your half-brother for the throne, mostly because he knew he could persuade him to let him have as many monopolies as he wanted.

His Mansion lies one a private property just outside the capital city, surrounded by brick wall and regular guard patrols.

When it comes to robbing the rich Haroldnarl is all for it and ready to lead the raid, but who should join him?

In previous threads you've made it a policy to knock out instead of kill when possible, he's certainly flabbergasted someone had the gall to rob him and will likely up his security in the future. He's more angry then shaken however. He is rich, powerful, and has many enemies so it's not so surprising.

On the next break-in we should leave a bunch of Sulfur dioxide time delayed bombs to embarrass them more.
