@Azel I'm going to go heavy on our Lesser and Greater False Ravens, as well as more Elemental Wyrmlings. How many more Whispering Braziers do we need?

We need:
- upgrade Dragons Roost Brazier to Interplanar
- interplanar Brazier for the embassy in the Opaline Vault
- interplanar Brazier for the embassy in Amun Kelisk
- regular Brazier for Naath
- regular Brazier for the Basilisk Isles

That's just the political stuff and pretty much necessary, as our realm has grown beyond the point where ravens are adequate substitutes.


We could do with:
- regular Brazier for ACSEC office in Henekar
- regular Brazier for Sunspear
- regular Brazier for Runestone
- regular Brazier for Dire Den
- regular Brazier for Driftmark

We kinda need to tie our other minions closer together and this would allow them to coordinate their own efforts in Westeros much easier. Not a must have though.

We need at least six more Braziers for ACSEC offices in Tolos, Mantarys, Lorath, Ibben, Saath and Omber. I also kind of wanted to expand it to a major port in the Summer Isles, but that might wait if you want.

Tolos and Mantarys were already done this month. As for the rest, I'm not willing to set up ACSEC offices in cities we have no proper diplomatic relationships with (read: who are ours or already agreed to become ours).
 
General note: a quick trip to the Astral Plane to get Anu the Warforged's spellbook back at the beginning of next month will then secure his loyalty and free him up for research and crafting. He almost certainly has Craft Construct, so he can just make his own Dedicated Wright and get started in crafting while he researches how to make more Warforged.
 
@Azel We could make them in anticipation? I wanted to send Menel to set up trade links with those cities. And Braavos has practically already Sphere'd Lorath.

What price did DP say would be required to upgrade a brazier for interplanar communication?
 
@Goldfish, @Duesal, very important. We need a short stop in the Opaline Vault to get a Plane Shift focus going on SD, so that we can start with ACSEC Interplanar.

Also should look into hiring some Janni, as they get Planeshift 3/day. At least until we got trains going and can set up a high-throughput line.

Doubled price, as the spells are so similar.
 
Two things.

First, is there any potential benefit to further upgrading the stats of our keep itself, or is the library the only one that really matters?

Second, I think we need to hit Qohor this month, and early at that. It and the Iron Islands are the two locations we care about in most immediate danger of collapse, and Qohor doesn't have the issue of probably having to break our ceasefire with the Deep Ones to fix its problems.

And I have to say I find it weird that aboleths and illithids are actually cooperating, since IIRC they're usually fluffed as both hating and being terrified of each other.

Do we also want to take the time to hire some apprentice smiths while we're out there?

The Deep Ones is mostly a loose political affiliation based on mutual terror at another, separate, apocalyptic threat. The surface dwellers are a concern at times, certainly, as some of them annoyingly refuse to kneel down and die/become mind-food and keep gathering power to resist them, but it's nothing compared to ancient terrors lain buried beneath even they.

Point, but this is about propaganda. In every instance of someone in canon calling magic a Sword Without a Hilt, it's been to warn people against magic because it's unknown and dangerous and usually nasty. That is not the case in this quest for our magelings with their D&D magic, and this is not the sort of image we want to be projecting to the people in our Imperium when we're trying to make magic more widespread.

Put it in a Dragonscaled hand, the implication that with the guidance of the Emperor magic defends the realm without risk to the bearer.
 
@Crake, @Duesal, @Azel

So far, I've got all requested Whispering Braziers and Interplanar Whispering Braziers added to the next schedule.

Right now I've got four Greater False Ravens, 49 Lesser False Ravens, and two Elemental Wyrmlings (Cold & Electricity) slotted in. That'll make another full set of Elemental Wyrmlings when added to the Fire and Acid Wyrmlings we crafted this turn.

I've tentatively included a metric fuckton of stat boosters and upgraded boosters. They can be removed if we end up needing crafting time for other stuff, but I would rather not do so unless it's an emergency. Most of them are adding +1 or +2 to various stats. For example, a pair of +2 Dexterity gloves for Richard only costs 400 IM, but increases his AC, Initiative, and Reflex saves by +1, which is extremely cost effective. Others are more important, like increasing Malarys' Wisdom of Richard's Strength.

There are also;
Greater Ribbons of Disguise (x5)
Healing Belts (x24)
Rings of Protection from Evil (x25)
Large-sized +1 Razorsharp Adamantine Great Axes (x50)

Most of Lya's time remains unassigned. @Azel Do we want to start working on the apparatuses necessary to begin minting our own currency now?
 
@Azel What would you prefer more, having all requested Braziers crafted this month, including the less important ones, or far more Constructs?

i know i know! we need to invent a new sport, where some of the positions need to be taken by large creatures and some by small, that way our Minotaurs and Monkeys get to shine.

Minotaurs - Jousting on Dinos as per Goldfish, or Rugby
Essarians - Quidditch Variant without a snitch

For your next art project, you should do Yss dozing on his pool, Zathir preaching on the side.
