"How so? Do these nobles have any on their side? I assume that the remainder of the Caster forces are loyal to you, will they help as well?"

Igos asks the paladin what they should do about the nobles.

"Use the most painful methods at your disposal. Unrest will not be tolerated. These heretics will be given one chance to change their ways, but if they refuse, you will carry out your duty. If you let me down or become corrupt like the nobles, I will see to it that your head is placed on a pike. I will supply you with 50 inquisitors to get the job done." The ruler also assembles a small group of private investigators, who are responsible for rooting out corruption in the city. Those who display such corruption will be executed in the public square. After doing this, he consults his best economic advisor on how to improve taxes while keeping the people (relatively) happy. Several teams have been sent out to various fertile spots in the desert to begin digging for wells, in order to supply clean water for the people and crops. A scout team is sent out to check the surrounding areas, along with looking for resources. Emissaries to the desert tribes tell them that they must stay united to the Kindgom of Ikana of they wish to survive in these dark times. The emissaries point out the barbarians, diseases, and strange moss that inhabit the outside regions. If these various desert tribes stay loyal to the kingdom, they will be under the protection of the army. If they do not, they will be left to the barbarians and savages, without mercy. 200 phalanx pikemen are being trained for combat. Construction continues on the university and barracks (almost finished?). Cartographers are sent out to the far edges of the desert to begin mapping out the area (PM with a partial map, perhaps?)

The ruler of Ikana appoints one of his right hand men the Grand Inquisitor. He has been a close friend to the ruler since childhood, along with having significant religious and political backgrounds. The Grand Inquisitor is designated to deal with religious unrest and corruption.

I was planning on having a session tonight, but I forgot that I am going to a dinner/celebration soon.

Igos approaches the man with the paladin's armor on. He asks him if he is in charge of the remaining military for Caster. He also asks the man who the other fellows are with the robes.

Also, the masons begin construction on a university & several barracks. The blacksmiths are instructed to produce longe phalanx pikes.

Igos goes to speak with the noblemen and the military officers.

Igos checks to see if there are any interesting people in the tent city. If there isn't, he asks the townsfolk about any news besides the giant golem.

Igos agrees, and pays them 2000g from the town coffers. He asks how long it will take (an Irl day?). After this he goes to the tent-city and begins to look around, talking to the refugees.

Igos asks how much the stoneworkers would require in order to build it that fast.

Igos goes up to some of the Ikana stoneworkers and asks them how much adding another quarter (extension) to the city would cost. Just walls.

Igos leaves the tower and returns to Ikana. He counts up the number of Caster refugees, checking to see if any of them have an interesting professions. He lets them in under the condition that they are responsible citizens, along with some of them joining the guard force.

Igos lightly knocks on the large wooden door (in Ivory basement). Meanwhile, Archarnis checks up to see how many new settlers have came to Ikana, and how many more have joined the guard force.

The ruler of Ikana sends out scribes to write down different woes of the kingdom. He instructs the farmers/scholars to look into what is causing the low yields, and what they can do to improve it. Scholars continue to work on perfecting the mixture containing saltpeter/sulphur/quicklime/naphtha. Emissaries are sent out to the various desert tribes to begin negotiations and ask what their problems are. Lastly, scouts are sent out to search for any resources. (Does the grand city have any walls?)

Species Name: Homo unanimis Tribal Name: Ikana Kingdom Species Adjective: Ikanan Species Description: Similar to humans (in appearance and mind), the Ikanans are a sentient beings that rely on intelligence and intution for their survival. They are skilled masons, smiths, and warriors. For hundreds of years they were nomadic tribesmen with a clan leader, often waging bloody wars over various territories. However, one of the clan leaders managed to defeat many of the surrounding tribes, assimilating them into one large tribe. This was the birth of the Ikana Kingdom. The old clan leader also began an organizational structure for the Ikana army. Almost all Ikanans are born with some telepathic abilities, although most only have the ability to communicate with others through the mind for a short time. Soon enough, the clan leader found the most talented telepatic citizens and trained them to be skilled generals. This led to the Ikana army to be quite organized and efficient. These individuals are even capable of twisting the thoughs of other creatures to their advantage. Currently almost all of the Ikanans live in the grand city of Ikana, although there have been some words of expanding their domain. Government: Fascism Starting Advantage: Intelligent, telepathy, skilled masons/ smiths/ craftsmen Religion: Monotheistic Location: Desert (most agriculture is done by the rivers or oases) The Ikanan scholars have begun to experiment with a mix containing saltpeter, sulphur, quicklime, and naphtha. Another division is also looking into better methods of agriculture, such as improved irrigation. Scouts have been sent out of the grand city of Ikana to search for any natural resources in the area. (Can someone give me an overview of the races? I assume that Mather is the eel-creature from stargate, along with Ross being the Scathe.)

Sir Roderick goes to investigate the necromancer's whereabouts.

Roderick examines the knights, and asks them what is wrong.

Sir Roderick grabs some healing mixes and heads off towards the "great wall".

Roderick returns to the bunker and studies the gem. He also creates his special item, the Monocle (+1 sword, +1 parry)

Sir Roderick checks the chest for traps before opening it.

Sir Roderick continues exploring, wondering where he is supposed to/ can go. (So what is this about a special item?)

Sir Roderick searches around for anything interesting. (Do I need to keep track of my own stats?)

Sir Roderick continues fighting with the creature.

Sir Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom the Magnificent Bastard begins slashing away at the walking corpse.
