Cromm Cruach Community Cistern refurbishment.
Under the direction of
Golgarth, the first phase of the village wide refurbishment of the freshwater cistern, the public sewers, community latrines and wells is begun.
The cost shared by contributions from fellow adventurers and charity fundraising. Characters have received bonus xp from investing in the project; for the villagers, their reward is cleaner water and more sanitary conditions.
The Duchy as promised will match the raised 2000gp amount meaning 4,000gp in total is spent to safeguard and modernise the systems.
Golgarth (actually while you just arrive back in Helix you hear strange noises from the Cistern, echoing around in bizarre acoustic fashions. Upon investigation you find Cosmo practicing voice manipulation techniques with the bard Buble`).
Part of the project includes the erection of a Cromm Cruach shrine.
The next stage would be to employ professional sages and surveyors who can manage the project. (The DMG might specify such falls into the parameter of Engineer/Architect hireling and is costed at 150gp but included in the estimate amount). He can then spend a month doing preliminary surveys and designs, fact finding, sourcing supplies. Then you can recruit labourers to act on his recommendations and blueprints.
Hope that makes sense. To enlist someone wiser and more proficient in the skill set area but you still get hands-on experience from labouring alongside and some degree of mentorship to upgrade a non-weapon skill.
Actions Golgarth post a Bulletin Board recruitment and update on the Cistern Project. I will randomly generate an architect's availability and then a month from his arrival, more physical labour can take place.
add your +200xp now for seeing the Cistern project start come to fruition.
Here are some archived notes on the project.
I may replicate this post or move it to another thread that concerns the 'World Building' contributions characters make.
