Meaning "you'll get the report somewhere in the 2rnd month and could assign them somewhere starting the 3rd month"?
Or can we get at least a very rough (class and level-range) descriptors and assign somewhere arguably non-risky?

Like most people you hire they are going to need a month to be assigned somewhere yes, I think it makes sense IC for people to need that breathing room and naratrively it gives me time to write interludes about how they are not whatever fire they are putting out.

Yeah, that makes sense. They should take a least a month to get settled and find their feet, so to speak, in the Imperium.

I expect they would also want some time to set up a residence or base of operations in Sorcerer's Deep.

New and interesting interlude opportunities are always nice, too.
 
For that matter, even if it came out of a random portal, who's to say it wasn't the CoS doing it?
I was just about to say that myself.

It sounds like something they'd do, theatrical, bombastic, and thematic with our "methods." If we were the usual sort of ruler we'd ignore the plight of the smallfolk which would give a rumor like this ample breeding room, allowing the CoS to ferment dissent with the more desperate elements that would gladly take a deal in order to protect them and theirs from uncaring tyrants.

Motherfuckers would be trying to start a goddamn cyberpunk rebellion without the cyber. A fantasypunk rebellion? Whatever.

Since this won't fill an update, could we get Plane of Fire raiding next?
 
@Crake, I need halp.
I am confuse.
I have Braavos and Lorath Scholarum branches penned in as "we started building those in the 1st month", but this report on Braavos-territories had nothing about it...
But Pentosi Scholarum Branch is being built, and of it I had no notes.
@DragonParadox is who you gotta take it up with, he's the one who decides which updates to include the rolls of the turn results for. In both the vote and in the turn plan we are building a Scholarum branch in Braavos and Pentos.

I made no plans to build one in Lorath. As it turns out, it was never completed, so we don't have one there. If @DragonParadox decides that there was some progress made on building it before the Shadowbinder who was working on it ditched, that's also something you gotta ask him about.
 
I thought that these rumors made sense for panicked peasants whose main exposure to talking plants was pour stuff...

Whatever. Seeing the Inquisition investigate a false lead will be a nice change.

Let's nip this in the bud ASAP. Rather we not haveone of our most useful tools unusable in some parts of our empire.

I also don't find the rumors ridiculous for scared peasants that juat got body snatched by weird mold. But it is important to try and stamp on this. Especially so that they know our OG bloodclot molds are totally kosher!

Look y'all, it's not impossible this is just random hysteria based on people hearing some garbled hearsay about us creating plant bodies for spirits to traipse around in and doing... whatever it is we have them doing. And then spinning those rumors out of control when something related to plants does some evil shit.

But I wasn't born yesterday and it's totally a fucking conspiracy to undermine our plots and schemes by the fucking [insert enemy of the week here]!!!

Part of the propaganda campaign needs to include a children's MirrorVision program featuring heroic Imperial Leshy who fight the enemies of life and sanity. The stoic Fungal Leshy, the placid Seaweed Leshy, the gregarious Lotus Leshy, the spirited Snapdragon Leshy, and many others would be series regulars, combating evil Daemons, Undead, and Deep Ones, and their despicable Human collaborators.

Perhaps they could have mortal partners, invariably young magical children with special powers, who assist them? Maybe each Leshy and their partner could even use a special talisman to combine their powers and abilities to become the Leshy Rangers, mystical warriors who secretly protect the Imperium from threats the hapless adults are too busy to notice.
