[X] Plan Broken Heart
Have means in place to gather information re: undead types and density in Sylvania if and when Stirland forces sally across the border. When information is acquired, send via your Master. If possible, collection of live samples will be rewarded; send news of any you secure via same and we will arrange collection.
Consider asking for higher budget or set our network on making money?
It's getting close and limiting our expansion as it is now.
-[X] These agents are getting expensive. Write up a proposal for your discretionary budget to be increased, instead of waiting for Van Hal to decide to increase it. (warning: attracts oversight to your current budget)
--[X] Budget increase dearly needed as the information network need huge expansion to refill the void left by the demise of the League, as well as watching the Watch to prevent corruption and hostile plants. Push for increase of 100 Gold at minimal, due to need to finding and keeping reliable officers.
Unfortunately, since we've been asked to gather information on undead types and density in Sylvania when Stirland sallies, that won't suffice- the Haunted Hills are part of Stirland, not Sylvania, and while studying the undead is useful for categorization and such it's not going to give us information like "thousands of ghouls in the Grim Moor, a bunch of ghosts in Hel Fenn, handful of vampires with around thirty thousand zombies in Castle Drakenhof".@DarkLight140
Haunted Hill must have some walking dead people for puppet mission?

Basically, what our puppetmasters have demanded of us is that we give them the information they need to pull out a map of Sylvania and cover it in notes on the positions, numbers, and types of undead in all the locations labeled on the map and have those notes be as accurate as possible- at least as accurate as Stirland's. That basically mandates either working with the military or somehow ensuring that the information is being centralized somewhere else (our new proposed organization, Van Hal's office, whatever) so that we can make a copy and send it off.
@BoneyM, please correct me if this is not the correct interpretation of their current demand.

i was wondering about gong farmers i believe there job was to go out and collect human shitEdit: Editing in progress.
-[X] Integrate the rat catchers, sewer-jacks and gong farmers into the Watch, and begin having the rank-and-file of the Watch learn from them (Watch speciality action).

i was wondering about gong farmers i believe there job was to go out and collect human shit
i don't understand why they with be in the watch
unless gong farmer means something different in this universe
Gong Farmers DESCRIPTION
Trudging through effluent, gong farmers brave the foetid stench of sewer and cistern alike. Clearing sewage channels and build-ups of compacted faeces, they shove the human waste into sacks and transport it elsewhere,often to be sold as manure or dried and used as fuel. Gong farmers stumble across all manner of things during their onerous work, from dead bodies to thieves,from the ever-present rats to things far worse.They are not above rummaging through the waste and detritus either, locating whatever odd coins, buttons, or other knick-knacks might have accidentally found their way down below.
Okay, so things are heating up over there. We don't really have anyone else capable of decisively identifying if its a necromancer(and if so, where said necromancer is), or if its just buried dead rising up."The barracks now deserve the title of a Fort, which at your Grace's suggestion has been named Fort Redemption. And while the Fort is not complete - no fort is ever complete, there is always more that can be done to make it more secure - now completely in operation. Two Divisions call it home, and the administrative infrastructure for them is now in place. Unfortunately, I can't say as much for what the troops insist on calling the Haunted Highway - attacks have increased even further, bringing work to a standstill on both ends. Gustav has the details."
At Van Hal's nod, Gustav chimes in. "The newly-formed Outriders have been taking hits just keeping the roadworks going. I've tried to scout out the Hills both myself and by sending some of the more skilled recruits, but there's just too many of the buggers out there to get far without being chased out, so I can't tell whether we've just stirred up the area or if this is indicative of some 'critical mass' of Sylvaniism. There's some good news - apart from a few gaps in the ranks from casualties, there's now two cohorts of pistoliers formed."
So thats Elector, Marshal, Steward and Chaplain going together. This is a big shit action."Kasmir?"
"The chaplaincy project is well underway," he says. "I estimate another six months until the 2nd and 3rd are fully served. The chaplains already recruitment are setting up shrines to the six most common gods within the wall of Fort Redemption; Sigmar, Ulric, Myrmidia, Verena, Shallya and Morr. These should serve the needs of the men, though I would like it to be a priority in the medium-term for these to be expanded into temples."
"That road is a priority - with it, the 4th would be only a week away. Without, it's closer to three, and that's if the Moot has no objection to our forces marching through their lands. I'll return to Leicheberg with the three of you, and decide there whether the Divisions will deploy in force to protect roadworks, or whether it's time to sally into the Haunted Hills. Wilhelmina, how's the home front?"
Thats...really not a sustainable supply situation as far as I can tell. Too easy to cut them off if you target the traders, the suppliers to the traders, or even trigger a local demand surge and drive prices out of control."Trade is picking up well," she says, glancing down at a page full of figures. "The EIC is already profiting from continuing the trade agreements we picked up, and the sale of the rest has been a welcome addition to Stirland's coffers."
"Speaking of trade, I want you to make sure the supply chain for Fort Redemption is secure. I think the army is currently buying from the open market in Leicheberg and that's mostly been working out because the local traders have been importing from the Moot, and if that's a viable long-term solution then fine, but I don't know that it is. Come with us back to Fort Redemption and look the situation over. Mathilde, how's law enforcement?"
Hmm, pros and cons:"Kasmir, when it comes time to provide Chaplains to the 1st, take care of the Watch as well," Van Hal orders. He looks down at the papers you handed him thoughtfully. "This idea you have about investigating and countering undead threats... it's an interesting idea, but how do you envision it's organization?"
"A tricky question," you reply. "As this is a completely new idea, it's difficult to see where it would work best. It could be attached to the military, or the Watch, or be an independent organization under the office of the Spymistress."
"It does seem a natural fit for the Witch Hunters," Kasmir chimes in.
"Or a branch campus of the Colleges," Van Hal says thoughtfully. "Or possibly under me directly. Too many unknowns. If you have spare time, put together a proper proposal, including where they'd fit into existing hierarchies, and I'll consider it in the future.
And here I see what's wrong with Plan Broken Heart and to a lesser extent, Plan EIC and the Watch.For now, expand the Watch along the Old Dwarf Road - if the troubles in the Haunted Hills is indicative of a general uptick in undead activity, those hills east of Potting are going to become a problem, and I want forces able to maintain order in at least Worden and Potting, and ideally along all population centers along the Road. Anton, what about you?"
Certainly boss!"A shame, but considering the cost, it's unlikely that the same method would enter a Witch Hunter's standard arsenal. Still, once your studies are concluded, if there's nothing unusually sensitive about the information have it written up and sent to the Archives in Altdorf. Undistributed knowledge is wasted knowledge."
Actually Broken Heart does the Worden action, Undead research and the expedition.Both jobs.
Van Hal asked us to expand into Worden as a priority. We're not doing it.
Our Backer asked us to prepare for the undead study. We're not doing it either!
Hopefully final change. Dropped great sword training and took personal visit to haunted hill for first hand information on dead people.
[X] Plan Broken Heart
-[X] Consolidation: You currently have a patchwork of useful contacts. Backfill so that you can rightfully claim to cover entire towns.
--[X] Ranald's Blessing
-[X] [Network] Name: Grey Coats
-[X] Expand the ranks of the Watch, so that they're able to start covering even the poorer parts of their covered area.
-[X] Complete taking control of the renamed Stirland Watch. (finishes action begun last turn)
-[X] Integrate the rat catchers, sewer-jacks and gong farmers into the Watch, and begin having the rank-and-file of the Watch learn from them (Watch speciality action).
-[X] Expand the Watch into the County of Worden, prioritizing Worden and Potting.
-[X] Can I Come Too?: Everyone seems to be riding off to Leicheberg lately. Tag along and see what's going on with these Haunted Hills. (NEW)

-[X] [Additional] Undead Research: This is Stirland. Time to bone up on your knowledge of the Undead.
-[X] Free Time: Now well-established in Wurtbad, you can spend some time in your scant off hours getting to know someone better. Pick one character. (no action required)

Thanks

Haunted Hill must have some walking dead people for puppet mission?
Theres a reason I usually edit rather than repost the plan over and over. The tally's kind of mangled.Actually Broken Heart does the Worden action, Undead research and the expedition.
It just doesn't show up in the tally for some reason.
Would gladly add more if anyone has suggestions, but the three fields were the minimum.I feel the proposal could have more detail but other than that it seems like a good plan.
