If there's free time we need to fill I would like to make some of the below.

That's a good point.
And if we want to give them something there's always growing them another Heart Tree.

Are they aware of that?

There's no reason we wouldn't have given them a heads up. There was no need for a dramatic surprise here.

Yrael is aiding that project himself, so yeah. Definitely.
We've just send the troops (part of our former sellswords), Amrelath to aid them and, as the accountant says, A Fuckton Of Money.

I really hope they bring us a Cleric of the Great Harpy for the Larder. Or at least her skull. Maybe she'll get desperate and send down an Aspect?

Did you work out a cost for those? I can do it when I get home if not.

Speaking of swanky stuff for Mantarys, next turn we should build Guard Posts + Messenger Service for Mantarys and Messenger Service for Tolos. That would give us another Law-Enforcement action in Tolos and another Administrative Action in Mantarys.
Has the added benefit of getting the hinterland of Mantarys under proper control.

Most of them, especially anything that doesn't rely on enhanced physical senses. Anything that could be considered a form of Scrying, precognition, or extra-sensory perception would be completely negated.
Coil, Contessa, and Dinah would be useless, while Alexandria's enhanced mental faculties would be unaffected. Tattletale might still benefit from some degree of enhanced awareness as a result of boosted mental stats, but not her Super!Sherlock power.

What was the progress on everyone's writing again? I recall it being kept up to date by the percentile.

10 is "world class". 20 is "even extra-planar empires balk at your splendor and excessive spending, even as your check book weeps".
The keep is currently being renovated, but I'm not sure when that's finished and the numbers are changed.
EDIT: Failed my spot check and didn't realise it was a spoiler box with the upgraded version below. S what you get for behind exhausted I suppose.

Part MMCDLXXVI: Of Madness and Mummery
Of Madness and Mummery
Tenth Day of the Seventh Month 293 AC
Rather than brush past the odd greeting as you suspect many others would have done, your gaze sharpens as it falls upon the old woman. Though there are no signs of sorcery upon her, you still wonder about her words. Foresight can be mistaken for madness all to easily. "What numbers are wrong, and how do they change?"
For along moment it seem as as though the old woman cannot answer you, indeed that she cannot, lost in whatever dark dream holds her mind enthralled. However, just as you are about to pass her she does speak: "Seven pieces lost and found, seven keys to open the way, seven swords gleaming by night, now the eighth unbidden comes." She looks at you with genuine fear, and with that fear comes a spark of lucidity gone as quickly as it had come.
There were only six names on the list of guests, so for you to be the eighth then there would have to be a seventh, perhaps the host, whoever that may be.
"Come on now, my lady," the servant behind the old woman interrupts your musings. "You have seen to the door as is proper, but now you have to return to your room to keep up your strength."
Is this the lady of House Bartaris? you wonder abruptly. An insane ruler of the fief certainly does not match the well-treated slaves. If anything that would encourage more thoughtless cruelty from the staff as they would not be damaging their property in acting so. It makes no sense.
Something of your frustration must have been visible in tone or manner, for Mereth counsels in your thoughts: "Perhaps you might be well served in mending her wits that she might give an answer that flies a straight path, my lord."
"Perhaps, but now is not the time to show my hand yet," you answer in like manner. Instead you follow a second footman out of the entrance hall and into pleasantly-furnished antechamber, heady with the scent of strange flowers set among the low tables and discrete divans. Here you are bid to meet 'your fellow heirs' even though you introduced yourself as nothing of the sort. Perhaps the servant is confused, or merely uncertain what dignity to grant you. 'Inconvenient guest' would be rather impolitic, after all.
Regardless, your gaze turns to the other two men in the chamber. One is a florid-faced priest you recognize as High Priest Gorthor both from the insignias of his rank and Shara's unflattering but surprisingly accurate description. The second supposed heir present is a tall man whose features are hidden behind a golden half-mask save for his dark watchful eyes.
Alas you do not have long to ponder the appearance of those with you, for the priest of Trios promptly lives up or more precisely down to his reputation by setting his eyes on Mereth and Leto "What a surprise to see such lovely young women in this dreary place. Have you the tongue of these lands?"
Leto looks like she is about to separate his head from his shoulders while Mereth almost seems amused. Catching your eye she silently jests: "I would rather be a cat again."
On one hand you suspect the lecherous prelate would be easy to interrogate and manipulate if you play into his vices. However, even Mereth's good cheer is likely to fray quickly in his company.
What do you do?

OOC: And we are finally off. I'm glad I could begin the action proper today rather than having you guys wait longer.

That was the upgraded numbers, they just weren't updated on the from page until now. This is the direct result of an action spent on upgrading the keep.
Anything approaching 10 is actually really good for Prime Material. Go above 10 and you start getting impressive enough for the Planes.
I honestly don't know.

@Azel I would suggest Valyrian steel weapons for them. (Not shield boy though)
And perhaps a tower shield for the shield archon. It would be an upgrade, and I want to know of it has any unique armor properties. (Eh scratch that. A large tower shield would be a LOT of vs)
Weapons that inherently beat evil DR is a very tasty reward. And useful.

That isn't good enough we need people to come to our keep and weep tears of joy at how beautiful it is. Because nothing says kingship like spending money on shiny baubles. /s
In all seriousness do the numbers do anything for us?

The numbers are something to gloat over.
Maybe later. Tracking them down all over again would get annoying very quickly.

Ask if Mereth can stand up to him long enough to milk him for information. A promise of some grand battle as soon as possible would probably more than make it up to her.
Leto doesn't seem to have the patience for anything less straight forward than "kill them all" and "look out, my lord!"
So we should obviously make sure he spends extra time around her later.
