OOC So we can leave this in the background then and adventure, and assume Benito is doing the work while we do ours.  Upon return, we can invest the points to square up for the work Benito has potentially done, which will also reflect the efforts of the refugees on the main floors.

I think that works really well, actually. 

OOC: I've got one unspent point that would bring me to 3 in Base, but I'm down to a few days of eating money, so locks and such for my space will have to wait a bit.  Plenty of work to spread around, though, so no big hurry on that.

Seems like we might need to make another foray below and try to find some more money, or else see if we can get Ymid to part with a couple ounces of that gold.

How's the shopping list doing?

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 155):

Almost everything except a volume of potion was obtained, he may be game for that

Jocelyn and Brodak can both pony up points to 3 in base.

In reply to Jocelyn Lemru (msg # 157):

Clarence, while prohibited from owning real property, can acquire property underground, so long as it is surrounded by that of others. The Hadereum will not offer him a deed unless he buys off his social stigma.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 158):

For now, Clarence is working on his relationship with his pet and his eight legged friend, so buying off his stigma will have to wait, through a place underground would suit both of them well.

Are we still doing the Independent Income or is that now wrapped into the leveled Perk?

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 160):

Seeing how little independent really income works, that would work better.

OOC: If I convert the point I had in II for base upkeep, that would give me 3 in Base.

Nodwin has one point in base now.
If he folds in Independent Income, then that gives him a second.
Does he need more to account for the living abode of the refugees?  I expect he does right?

Eh... can you clarify?  I suspect even if the grammar came out clear answering "Yes" to a "are we doing X or Z" doesn't exactly work.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 164):

Convert all independent income points into base. The Vejovians can squat for the moment, although no one is coming to move in and obstruct you from getting the block and its environs. If one of you had enemy  as a disadvantage, that could happen. If Nodwin throws points into ally group, the Vejovians would start accruing base as well, but under your control.

I have been looking at this for suggestions

Works for me.  Done.  That brings me to 3 in Base.

OOC Good thing Nodwin has points laying around everywhere.  He'll just have to pop open the dresser and pull a few out from under the socks, where he has them stashed.

I hope Haveron never gets wind of this, he'd probably try to find a way to leverage this arrangement.

Sounds good boss.  Jokes aside, I think it's a worthy place for him to develop.  We'll have to discuss after the next run, however, because he spent all his points from the last run.  It was important to get Shape Earth for shoring up the living arrangement.

In reply to Nodwin Zideqick (msg # 167):

There is going to be a general increase in the amount of points going out from this point. I have been under-serving for the length of time people have been committed to.

I will earmark some of the points I receive for the ally group.  Sounds goo, and thank you.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 168):

i'm good with that.

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 170):

???

Repeating from earlier... Narrator got sidetracked with the Base stuff.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 172):

With three of you, and use of the rubble spilling in, it takes just under four hours (reduced time for shape earth) and has an added cost in masonry that I need to go and check Lowtech 3 about;
Rubble is the building material, volume is   9'x2'x2' (36 cu feet)x6.... And 80% of tgat was freely available... Cost will be based on 43cubic feet.

Still awaiting that cost their boss.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 174):

Shit, did the math a

Nd lost it. Revised: 6 collumns x 9 feet tall x 1 foot wide, x 12" x 3.82 per 1'x1" of rubble and mortar is $2475, reducd to $371 due to materials  available.

I think the costs are a bit dear but younare getting two cuirrasses worth of work for the price of a helmet. Buying some beams for construction purposes would be cheaper than stone, but that can be dealt with later.

I have been loot shy, that will change, as Jocelyn has a lead on a sizeable quantity of silver, and the Ymid will pay something like $12k in gold.

OOC: still pays better than guarding some shop, standing in one spot for hours and barely enough for a night's flop and a couple meals.

OOC Let us know when we're ready to move on.  Really about doing some math and then everything should be stable enough for us to move on.  Plenty of threads so when you have time.  :)
