Hexes  27  and 34 belong to Tusk, but have not yet been claimed for development

"Good afternoon gentlemen and milady," Rana smiled at the council members.  "I am pleased to report that the Taldan Bath that I invested in last year is proving both profitable and popular.  I was hoping that you would allow me to upgrade it to a Taldan Great Bath.  With the Great Bath, there will be increased employment opportunities as I will need to hire masseurs and several more staff, as well as adding a larger pool where socialising can take place in a much more relaxed atmosphere.  I am unsure if there would be any additional fees for this upgrade?"  Rana let her voice trail away as she waited patiently to see if her plans would be approved and, if so, what any additional fees might be required.

1BP investment to upgrade from Taldan Bath to Taldan Great Bath

Adoven stands and smiles. "My Lords and Ladies of the Council, I am pleased to announce that we have seen unprecedented growth in both business and population since Tusk put down its roots. I daresay I envision Tusk rivaling New Stetvan as a cultural and Trading center within my lifetime. It is my desire to further expand our ability to handle the new influx of trade with Restov and Mivon. To that end I wish to build a second large warehouse for our quayside businesses. My boatyard is building a wherry to handle the larger loads. We propose to expand our Luxury store
to a Shopping Court for cross-cultural trade. And to add stability to the expanded business I'd like to build a Trade Exchange and 2 Armed keeler boats."

Andalon smiles at Rana and nods a greeting to Adoven.

"Certainly, Rana. There is currently still enough space in Ivory Hill for you to expand your Taldan Bath to a Taldan Great Bath" (Taldan Bath = Econ 1, size 1. Taldan Great Bath = Econ 2, size 2)

"My Lord Adoven, we will have to work out where we can accommodate your plans, but I am sure we will find a way. We certainly value your contribution to the prosperity of Tusk City."

1. Luxury Store in Ivory Hill (Econ 2, Special 1, size 2) upgrade to Shopping Court (Econ 3, Spec 2, Loy 1, Stab 1, size 3), there is currently still enough space in Ivory Hill for this.
   
2. Large warehouse = Econ 2, size 2
   
3. Military Wharf = Loy 2, Stab 2, Defence 2, size 2
   
4. Area Patrol boats (x2) = Defence 4, size 4 for the naval base on shore that supports them.
   
5. Wherry = Special 4 (does not need space on shore)

Tusk's 5 existing waterfront districts are:

• Port Henry: current size 18/20
• Lakeside: current size 16/20
• Cheapside: current size 19/20
• Watergate: current size 11/20
• Mariner: current size 5/20 (but the City's military jetty can take another 4bp of military vessels, requiring space for a size 4 expansion of our current small naval base facilities there. The Roth's size 2 distillery is the only other use currently in Mariner.)

Rana smiled and curtsied to the council once their approval was given for the improvements to her Taldan Bath.

"My thanks to the council.  Once the improvements are complete, I thought it might be an idea to have a "Grand re-opening" event, and was wondering if that would be allowed?  And, if so, whether there would a permit that I would need to apply for?"

"Rana, you are most welcome. The opening celebrations you mentioned wouldn't require a permit as such, but it would be a good idea to let us know about it in advance so we can notify people like our city watch to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day. I am sure at least some members of the Council would be delighted to join the celebrations on the big day if you extend us an invitation, too." Andalon suggests.

Yasmin enters the chamber and addresses Kendrick.  "House Yitis would like to build a Jetty at The Roost, which will allow us to add you to our Candlemere ferry services.  WE would also like to build a  shop, so that we can help supply your residents with the basic supplies that they need."

Adoven sputters. "Candlemere? Who gave you the rights to settle Candlemere?" An angry crimson tinge is working it's way into the merchant adventurer's neck.

Yasmin looks confused, "We offer ferry services between Tusk and Reedham across Tuskmere, and then across Lake Candlemere as we head on to Old Keep.  I suppose I should have called it the Tuskwater Ferry Service."
