Brand new species and faction, it's sensible to speak with them and I'm really interested in learning more about them. As for Imilar, her reaction was interesting and the update hinted we should talk to her. On top of that, the Asrai are ordinarily isolationist but she certainly isn't, and I want to find out more about her personality and motivations.

I'd like to ask if you can change things.
1. I think our Diplomacy Advisor should talk to the Centoreans rather than Mediate Disputes. Our colony isn't dealing with any unrest right now and the Centoreans are important.
2. If you can change the Hold a Public Forum action to something else. Again, our colony is fully fine on unrest right now, and there's important things Flynn could be doing instead. He could construct a building, do more diplomacy with the Centoreans, or prepare an expedition.
3. If you can, please try and fit in a Tavern in your plan. We need a Tavern to recruit adventurers and the second wave is coming just next week. If you're concerned about unrest, the Tavern would help with that, so I think it'd be better to have Flynn do Improve Construction to build one.
Our diplomat advisor is a girl. The centoreans seem like an original species by the GM, their own species specifically rather than something like bloodwrack medusae. That's just vibes though.
As for what a wood elf wants money for, money can be exchanged for goods and services. She could use her pay to acquire valuable items for herself or hire people to assist her with her personal projects. Or just for simple creature comforts.
Money isn't her primary goal though, she said as much that it's to contact far away forests and peoples. As to why she's pursuing that job among humans instead of among her own kind, that's a mystery.
@Pillowsperky are you still taking adventurer submissions?
There is always room for an unending rotunda of weirdos.

...yeah, because of course the forces of chaos which include shapeshifters and a god of Perfection/Perversion are utterly incapable of making something that isn't grotesque.
So do we get WOG that these are actually 'uncorrupted' centaurs? Because going by canon there is no such thing. Centaurs are not something that chaos corrupted, they were created whole-cloth. There have never been uncorrupted centaurs in the same way there have never been uncorrupted Skaven.
So a bunch of homicidal nutters running on alien logic or outright randomness. Less a faction and more a hostile environmental hazard.
Except yes there were. This is Oldhammer lore, and they are a little bit incorrectly placed, but I have long since stated that I intend to fill out Lustria so that it is more than just Lizardmen and Skaven with a dusting of Greenskins.
Centaurs back when they were mentioned in lore were clearly based upon native americans, given appearance and their preferences for herding & hunting bison across great plains, and here I have extrapolated that out to fill a niche in Lustria. A niche y'all have yet to fully uncover.
I haven't made this a secret. I have been very plain and open about this inclusion of old lore and extrapolated lore since the very early posts.

Huh... cool.
Extrapolating I think these might even be pre-Old Ones since the only other true-breeding centuroid creatures we know of, the Dragon Ogres and the Zoats are called out to be particularly ancient with the former being definitely pre-Old One.
I'm fine with 1, this plan was made before that was an option, for number three I am ok with doing that if Flynn is allowed to also do improve construction, I don't see anything that says he can't but it feels very off to me. We have 10 adventures already, we had of vote on them and all that. So I don't see the high probity on the tavern, we have 10 adventurers already, and we know they stick about for a month, and there's no way a major chunk of them die in a single week.
I am making the number 1 change right now

Oh, I forgot that they're on contract for a month. Yeah fair enough on the adventurers.
Flynn is definitely allowed to do Improve Construction, there's no limitations on which actions he can do. How successful he is does of course matter on his stats though. Luckily his Stewardship's decent at 4, so 26% chance of success.
But really, I think Send out Quest Bounties is the best thing you could have him do instead of Hold a Public Forum. We have 10 Adventurers and setting those quest bounties is how we use them to benefit our colony. Having them explore the nearby lands and fight dangerous beasts would be good.
That is a good point, we should do that public forum next week so we can see people's worries, but I think right now they aren't gonna change anything because it's gonna be about food and housing and safety.

Doing some Rolls!
Train Militia (72-5=67%): Success!
Send Diplomatic Offer to Known faction: Ceatorian (64+10-10=64%): Success!
Patrol Perimeter (64-10=54%): Fail
Improve Construction (Colonial Barracks, +20 Magic Advisor) (72-10+20=82%): Success!
Monitor Corruption (64-10+10=64%): Success!
Conduct Research - Blueprints: Defensive (72-10=62%): Success!
I got some of the percentages wrong on rolling, but lots of success either way!

What's the -10 from? I'm curious, especially since it made us fail.

This is me looking at the mechanics of this quest.
It's so elegant. Advisor stats and action difficulty are well balanced against each other, the four resources provide interesting challenges that aren't too complex for casual participants, and there's even dedicated social actions. I think this is the best mechanical iteration of a CK2 quest yet, a real showcase of the genre's evolution when it comes to gameplay.
And the fluff. The way it's woven into the game is so satisfying, with the advisor update being standout. Normally that kind of update doesn't have fluff, but here it did, and used it in a good way. It added flavour to the update, gave further characterisation to Flynn and Rapunzel, spaced out the advisor choices in a pleasing manner, and didn't have too much fluff, which would've made the update take longer to make when we were still in pre-game. The fluff's good everywhere, I just think it's most interesting in the advisor update from a game point of view.
The actual gamemastering is also superb. The GM is a pleasant and helpful contributor to the thread, and creates neat avenues of player participation and cooperation.
All in all, I'm quite happy this quest exists.
