    • Well, here we go again. Well, different place and protag and hero selection, so I can't just copy-paste the plan I made in the previous quest :V

    Give me some time to think
     
    @Magoose: Oh right, could you elaborate about the other intelligent beings now? I'm wanting to know if there's any aquatic races to keep in mind. Otherwise, a Swimming Class doesn't seem necessary from the beginning.

    I did add a bit to the apochya, and there is a few notes on orcs, dragons and Goblins, but not a lot of them as I was writing this turn.

    However, the aquatic races that you are asking about are only merpeople, and they only live in the oceans, and since you are near the center of the mainland, in a river valley, I did not see the need to add them in to the lore until a little bit later, when we are able to access the sea, and them.

    But the swimming class is not just for teaching the students how to swim and how to act around water. It is also a navigation class, how to fight monsters in the water, how to brew potions to breathe underwater, how to sail a ship, etc.
     
    @Magoose: So how expensive would it be to choose every Academy position? Cause I'll be honest, that's the only part I have any coherent idea for. The instructors... Honestly I'll probably just pick whoever seems interesting since there isn't any clear Pros/Cons.

    @Magoose: So how much money do we initially have to work with? Like, would picking all the Academy positions leave us with barely anything, or will we be doing just fine?

    You start with 20,000 gold pieces. so plenty enough to fill all the positions for a few turns, but reminder, you chose the start where there are not many missions to earn money from, so that is a problem until you get the mage tower up and running and you can get contracts from other far away kingdoms.
     
    I mean I kinda want Geralt and Edward. Geralt because he seems like a good Jack of all trades and would make a good Beast Slayer teacher and some one we could trust implicitly. Edward because he could make a decent magical instructor. That and I'm a fan of the Witcher and FMA.
     
    @Magoose: I didn't do that. Still... what does everyone else think? I'm not really sure what we should do regarding the Academy positions. Regarding who to hire...

    I'm definitely in favor of at least Geralt and Rekunthung, more because of how they tie into the general idea for the MC: Geralt apparently being one of her creations, whereas Rekunthung is an intelligent non-human and that's pretty cool.

    Same number of positions filled as last time, so we should be facing the same expenses on salaries (700 per turn). Quite a few returning characters, though Nero got moved to Deputy on account of not having any equivalent to Cicilia, with Zelda getting his old job by default and Geralt being called in to replace her.

    Swapped Talion into the representative slot because we need a representative with this start position and Marcus volunteered to teach, so I figured it would be better to give him that job.

    Would've liked to have filled all the slots, but there doesn't seem to be a good swimming teacher here, I'm not 100% sure that Vlad would work as a Beastmaster (he probably would, but still), and we do need to worry about our budget here. Also would've liked to recruit Pyrrha, but, well, I'm not entirely sure what job to give her.

    I mean, I could make a plan up, but that's probably good enough. It's based on the original plan I made anyway :V @JAGwin Zelda didn't actually use magic in the first quest, with Magoose saying we would have to take actions and stuff to work her up to it, but as you know, the quest stopped before that could happen. Maybe I'm being too meta here, but would it still be ok for her to be magical instructor?

    I vaguely remember it as being White Magic she couldn't use. Normal magic (which she should know at least enough of to teach the basics, which is what the description says is the reason that post is mandatory) should be another story.

    Uhhh . . . crap. Anyone got any names or images I can use?

    EDIT: Added a name for the school: Alba Academy. According to Wiktionary, "Alba" means "Dawn" in Italian, and considering our school in the first version was named Sunrise, I think it works as a nod to the last Quest. Although I'm still open to suggestion for something else.
