Assuming they're the same as our ^A^. Or that time hasn't fucked with them. Which I personally am not prepared to take chances on, since we're talking about a quarter of Walkers.

Tiny quibble, but we used this last turn, unless the Black Box preserved it, but I didn't see any rolls for that.

Well, I do hope the second die in Amilia's set counted as the Goodwill roll for We Are One People (though the dice appear to have made mockery of my hopes for a critical fourth success there) or else the third is the reroll for Audit Everything.
Bleh. Well, rolling time.

Perhaps I'm missing something but shouldn't that be 3d100? Even assuming there wasn't a Goodwill roll for We Are One People, that still means Amilia's third die roll was the failure reroll for Audit, and so my rolls covered the Martial and Learning checks.
That was for the Monastery. Doomed Fortress is 1d4+1.

I'm taking the d100 rolls as they come in, not as they are declared. You only failed once, and all other rolls succeeded. Meaning 2d100 remain.
And you are right, must've overseen that.

No, I recall what you said about as they come in, but where did the failure take place then? It's just a bit confusing to me.

You failed We Are One People.
Only 2d100, Goodwill, Piety, and one Artifact roll remain to be rolled.

Rumor Mill Turn 80

Rumors:
Eversun Civil War Has Ended, Night Warden Victorious - The Tessen Speaker
In a battle that ended the lives of nearly a million people lasting for over three weeks, the collective forces of the Eversun Pretender, Circle of Faithful, and Night Wardens fought for supremacy over each other and the future of their faith and nation. Though the Pretenders and Circle were evenly matched before the battle, the Night Wardens had joined outnumbered five-to-one against just one of their two opponents, with most analysts predicting their forces to be ground down and crushed throughout the battle. Yet, instead of them being nothing more than a pawn on the board to maneuver into the other's side, the Pretender and Circle forces instead found themselves outmaneuvered, their weak points hit with overwhelming force, and pursuing troops led into ambushes by the other side, turning the jungle and valleys that served as the battlefield into a charnel house filled with the screams of the dead and dying, alongside the ending requiems and chants of victorious Night Wardens beating the odds again and again. What few survivors that have managed to flee the battle have already begun to terrorize the surrounding Regions to stay alive and escape the inevitable purging of all who oppose the Wardens now. Those who survived but didn't manage to flee have been forcefully inducted into the Night Wardens as 'Repentant Nightbearers' in a ceremony that observers described as 'Unsettling and Disturbing.' Yet, not all is well even with their victory, as reports of Mutants and Machines growing ever more rampant within the Eversun lands are mounting, and their military capacity has never been as shattered as it has been now. We can only assume why the SBA has yet to take advantage of the weakness of their neighbor. Yet, the Eversuns Colonial empire seems shattered for the imminent future, if not forever, as they slowly recover from a conflict that tore apart generations and will need a shift in their ideologious structure to effectively govern their new responsibilities. Running a state is far different from securing a prison, yet both share some similarities that could hint at what changes will be made.

Pilgrims Scramble To Stabilize The Floating Islands - The Truthful Observers
Despite the news that the Floating Islands are collapsing, the Pilgrims have begun collaborating with House Dall and Forge-Clan Vanar-Feer to stave off their total descent. Both the Pilgrims and House Dall have already started a massive expansion in Suspendium harvesting quotas and efforts as Forge-Clan specialists and acolytes are dispatched by the dozens from their local holdings and brought in by the low hundreds from outside the Region to study the problem closely and devise both methods to secure the islands in perpetuity, while also applying the gathered crystals to ensure make-shift repairs happen at a rate that won't see the islands collapse and destroy the many Artifacts and knowledge contained within the structures atop the same. A Vanar-Feer member said: "The destruction of the islands would not be a set-back to our research efforts, as those are safely contained and secured within our strongholds. However, what the destruction would be is a massive blow against the hope that we will be able to bring about technologies within decades instead of centuries. We have already managed to call into question several established theories with our findings and uncover troves of data with every day we labor for the good of all humanity and the Empire. And thanks to the Pilgrims working with us, we may be able to ensure that hope isn't destroyed. I, personally, will do everything in my power to ensure that their faith in our abilities is rewarded with results."

A Festival Of Technology - Rags, Rumors, And Rants
It seems that not even the pressures of falling sky islands are enough to stop the efforts of those dedicated to festivals and distractions from life, as the Pilgrims have begun to sponsor several lavish celebrations for us! The Pilgrims also have not slept upon their lessons regarding propaganda and have begun to heavily involve themselves in the business of business, using the festivals they sponsored to reveal the work they have managed to do to reverse engineer steel-making for their blends in the hopes of attracting investors while showcasing their newest advancements in Suspendium, awing a crowd of several thousand as a volunteer ascended in a harness coupled to a cube barely larger than their chest! Granted, the demonstration was small-scale due to the technology's infancy. Still, it had the desired effect, as people have not stopped talking about the sheer quantity of things that could be moved via air once the Pilgrims' efforts pay off, alongside the sheer sizes of the airships that are soon to follow once the technology is implemented. One can only speculate what will be brought forth from their laboratories and workshops next, yet free drinks and food are a surefire way to excite everyone about them!

Region Report/s
Region Report/s
We have yet to receive any reports from our brethren after the initial confirmation that they have received the Artifact we sent. The most likely cause is that the messages have been lost due to cross-Regional interferences of Machines and Necropoli outside our ability to transmit through. Whatever it is, it will likely clear up in a few months or a season.

Spy-Network:
The Marquess of Tessen is still on vacation. Her son isn't doing anything that rocks the cart, but he is getting his feet under him far quicker than most expected and has begun with an expansion of Tessen's defensive works. An admirable first project to lead!
House Ulatarn has begun applying their census data to their taxation offices, causing a near-audible Region-wide groan from their until-now untaxed subjects.
House Mirn is still repairing and expanding its roads. There are, after all, a lot of routes to manage.
The Military is training. Some say the officers look bored between field and school training. In contrast, the ordinary soldiers are grateful for the pause. In other news, our network here was subverted, not by hostile forces, but by the general greed of our informants. Annoying.
[-1 Intelligence Level]
The Adventurer Guild has black-listed the band of unlicensed adventurers after they decided to run from their appointed court dates. Good riddance! Nobody needs idiots with weapons with no legal responsibility or repercussions running around!
The Followers of Light are pretty shocked, as a ruling by the Emperor has reversed a centuries-standing decree of the Imperial Family that bans Mutated from taking public office aside from being a replacement of their spouse or family member in sanctioned case-by-case emergencies. All sides are viciously debating the implications thereof.
The Lost began with the construction of local crematoriums and resting places after a short wave of disease ran through several neighborhoods they are active within. A depressing reminder of the fragility of life and its everyday dangers.
Dirty Daggers have been feeding us what they wanted us to hear. We needed to cut our "Informants" loose.
[-2 Intelligence Levels]
The Common People are awash with rumors regarding the finished Eversun Civil War alongside the announcement of the Emperor and have enjoyed the festivals we sponsored.
The Mutated are...honestly, they are stunned by the fact that they, after several centuries, are once more allowed to take office in the bureaucracy of the Empire. Most people respect those positions as they are often enough to feed a family while helping the Empire grow and function. Though some are fearful that they will be used to depress wages and be blamed for the resulting impoverishment of the existing clerks, others are celebrating a way for their children to escape poverty and rise above the slums.

Hang on. Since we got over 70 and into the 200+ bracket, shouldn't that be a Medium Critical Success?
Wait, so we got a refund on our Suspendium and 2 Cargo Craft in one trip? SCORE!
This is either very good or very bad, and I don't know which.

In doubt there's always the Sun!
I can see the pilgrims opinion: We are biased, like very biased. But We would say we probably need to make more research into genetics to understand mutations now since the emperor decided the time to treat the mutated as second class citzents draws to an end.
