Elven Empire Quest (CK2)

You have only just raised the tower, have barely started to calibrate the farsight spells, when you spy great clouds of dust on the horizon. What tips you off to the danger posed is that the clouds only billow larger in place, never drifting across the horizon like the others. Thankfully, the farsight gave a few days' warning, and you conscripted the pioneers away from their other duties into a desperate rush to have solid walls raised before the raiders were upon you again.

The effort is swift, and a passable fortification has taken shape around the settlement none too soon for your unfriendly visitors. Having already wasted precious mana raising the tower, you are barely able to tip the scales yourself, relegated to command, but the raiders were unprepared for real defenses, walls, stakes, and ditches, so with a few volleys of arrows and smaller spells they turn tail easily.

In the aftermath, the pioneers lament and pick at the settlement, scratching their heads as the planned scope of the walls is far tighter than they were expecting, and more than a few are confused when told the building materials they used for the walls will not be returned. Apparently, in the panic of the approaching attack, they had broken down several buildings for timbers and stone when the necessary supplies for the wall had come up short under the mistaken belief that it was to be a temporary measure, so now you have even fewer shelters than before, and... yes, of course, the channelers are coming from the opposite horizon, what grand timing...


Current conditions:
Safety: Strong Settlement Defenses, Scrier's Tower (significant advance notice of attack and regional information), Violent Nomads
Food: Limited, poor soil, running out
Colony: Permanent Camp, some long-term shelter, Overcrowded
Heart: Mostly Unknown
Spirits: In Contact

The Homeland: Regular contact
The Humans: These elves are dangerous...

Aldegard must manage this fledgling colony. What should she focus on for the time being? Create a plan only. (Choose a total of three, marking them with [Pioneers], [Expedition], and [Aldegard]. Aldegard can be used to double-up on another action, as she can probably use powerful magic to support it)
[] Secure more food supplies
[] Prepare good homes within the walls
[] Rapidly prepare basic shelters
[] Set up an administrative center for the settlement
[] Set up a specialized abode for the Channelers
[] Improve the local soil
[] Expand the defenses further (there is still room inside the walled settlement for more)
[] Establish a scouting routine (not Aldegard)
[] Launch punitive attacks against the raiding nomads (Aldegard may assist, but may not act alone)
[] Study the monolith further (expedition/Aldegard only)
[] Sort through all of the trinkets and belongings of the refugees for useful tools

Aldegard's condition comes with a minor compulsion to conserve mana, and the raising of the tower has left her feeling stress and fear at not having mana 'at hand'.
