[X] Plan: ROADTRIP

I'm always pleased with a chance for our character to get some experience in something new. As far as we know, we won't always be the Steward.
 
[X] Plan Steady As We Go

I'll be frank- I made my plan to stop a bandwagon from lack of choice.
Roadtrip would be nice, if we had money.
 
I'm, don't we actually have the money to buy a share in the roadtrip? I think it leaves us at 1 gold in reserve at the end of the turn, but I think it is a rule that we can spend our research and income for the turn during a turn without causing problems... Unless we spend more than both combined.

Unless this is different for the caravan?

Edit: Wait, just double-checked. We are literally 1 gold short in total.

@Exmorri? I hope we get other chances?

I'd rather put three actions towards the wall, since that's what we said we'd do, but everything else in this plan is what I want.

Indeed. Whether you can retain the position next term depends heavily on who Void's successor is, and that's very hard to guess five years out. But you can make some general inferences: the same clan can't get the position twice in a row so Wisdom is out, Bridge had it previously so they're probably out too, and Avalanche is almost certainly not going to be nominated out of the gate. So that leaves two Great Houses you might want to build connections with to improve your chances, Ascension and Gold. Or you could take training actions to raise your Stewardship stat if you want to try being kept on through sheer merit, instead.

Yes, there will be other chances.

Thanks for the count, I didn't think to check beforehand myself. If this option had won and you turned out 1 gold short I would probably have offered some hotpatch like skimping on coal for a bit (experimental forge gets -2 to its next progress roll).
