Refugee to Regent Challenge Wiki

My Lord Marquis(uess), People are flocking to our borders, and our prosperity has NEVER been greater. However, with increased population, comes increases in Crime. There are reports of a band of [Criminal] appearing within or near our borders. Please be sure to take the appropriate precautions.

My Lord asked to be kept appraised of all progress that our Magicians made. I am pleased to report that with a minimal loss of fingers, toes, and one or two rabbits, we have managed to open and maintain a secure connection to an entirely different world. However, this barren hellscape is unlike anything we have previously before seen. It is a dim world of fire and lava. Zombie Pigmen litter the landscape, and after a scuffle with enormous, black Skeletons and some kind of flying abomination, we closed and destroyed the Portal.

I would not characterize the project as a failure, however. Our best Technology experts say that the vast magma flows could potentially power our furnaces for the foreseeable future. Preliminary experiments with the few samples of Quartz brought back through the Portal showed promise, especially when combined with Redstone. Additionally, it seems to serve as a shortened means of travel between locations here on our world, which, since we have begun venturing into other realms, we have taken to calling the "Overworld." Indeed, perhaps the most interesting resource that we could potentially exploit is the mysterious Glowstone, so named because it emits light, and is hard.

Also, it tastes like a rock. Easiest dollar I ever made. Though I must admit I was distressed when the glowing--never mind.

Despite the danger, we believe that the potential resources are worth the risk, my Lord. However, to properly exploit them, we must ensure that we are properly protected (on BOTH sides of the Portal!) from the Dangers of what we have come to call the "Nether." At your word, my Lord, construction of these "Nether Portals" may begin immediately.

They Aim to Misbehave [Criminal Outlier]

You've always had SOME Crime, but now, they've ORGANIZED! Build an (ig)Noble Outlier!

Choose what kind of Criminal you may have, or if you aren't sure or don't care, roll on the table below:

Di(ce) Roll (1d6) Type of Criminal Description
1 Pirate Pirates either prey on ships on the water, or attack from the water and carry off whatever booty they can carry. There have been instances of Pirate Ships washing up on shore and becoming Land Pirates--and refusing to give up their Pirate Identity instead of becoming Bandits.

May be found: Generally on or near a River, lake, sea, ocean, or other body of water. They usually have a Safe Harbor they can retreat to (Primary Focus for a Crime Outlier)

Specialty Building: Outliers home to Pirates must have at least 2 taverns/bars/places to get drunk (1d4 for every 20 pirates, or 4 Pirate Nobles) (Regardless of Primary Focus of Outlier)

2 Bandit Bandits prey on travellers and merchants. Occasionally, if they are very, very bold, they may raid a town. They tend to avoid military strength, and prey on weak areas. Will Probably prefer to attack undefended (or lightly defended) Roads, Cartways, and Outliers.

Powerful Bandit groups may sell themselves out to Mercenaries to protect or "protect" local Nobles or small villages that are ignored by the Capital.

Bandits tend to have a fortress in a defensible location they can fall back to when they get large enough (Primary Focus of a Crime Outlier)

Specialty Building: Outliers home to Bandits must have at least 1 heavily fortified fort (preferably on the outskirts or just outside of town) to which they can fall back to if "The Fuzz" shows up. Bandits may not operate out of the Capital--The Assassin and Thieves guilds tend to kick them out of town.

3 Thief Where Pirates and Bandits tend to attack in groups, Thieves tend to operate (usually but not always) on more of a solo basis. They are rarely found anywhere except in or near decently sized Outliers and the Capital. Nobles occasionally make use of the Thieves' Guild to get them what they want when their Ruler (the Player[s]) does not want them to have it (or just to be petty and bicker amongst themselves).

When they have made enough money, Thieves Guilds usually build a Fortress (Primary Focus of a Crime Outlier) out in the wilderness (but not too far from their marks) so they don't necessarily have to worry about all being caught in town. And, more importantly, a place to stash their loot!

Specialty Building: The local Thieves' Guild must have a False Front, with hidden hideaways (think American Prohibition) to hide in case the authorities come calling. Their False Front may be any form of building, from a kind of shop to a Noble who either secretly is in the Thieves' Guild OR has them on retainer. False Fronts may be shared with the Assassins Guild

4 Assassin Assassins have a long and noble history. And if you don't believe that, odds are you're on their target list. They do just what they say, kill others, usually for money. They aren't quite as brutish as Bandits, and tend to defend their territory (usually one or more Outliers and/or the Capital) jealously. Though, because they do not compete with the Thieves Guild, they do not consider the other Guild to be trespassing in their territory.

Assassins tend to build a Fortress (Primary Focus of a Crime Outlier) outside of the Outlier/Capital they have laid claim to. Somewhere out of the way but not too far out of the way that they can't reach their clients nor their marks.

Specialty Building: The local Assassins Guild must have a False Front, with hidden hideaways (think American Prohibition) to hide in case the authorities come calling. Their False Front may be any form of building, from a kind of shop to a Noble who either secretly is in the Assassins' Guild OR has them on retainer. False Fronts may be shared with the Thieves Guild

5 Smuggler Smugglers are perhaps the least onerous (at least to non-merchants) of the various Criminals. All they do is smuggle in things that you would probably prefer not to have in town. If they smuggle by sea, they usually have a safe harbor somewhere nearby. If they operate on roads/railways/other, they usually have a Smuggler's Camp built between/in the towns they smuggle between.

Smuggler's Camps may be a Secondary Focus for an unrelated Outlier with another Primary Focus.

6 Reroll Roll Again.

Into the Nether! [Nether Outlier]

Build an Outlier inside the Nether! Below is a list of requirements for the Nether Outlier (Anything on top of this is a bonus):

  • If Nether Portal is not inside the Outlier (Recommended), the Nether Outlier MUST have easy access to the Nether Portal.
  • The Nether Outlier MUST have at least 2d6 (4d6+ recommended) guards/permanent military personnel.
    • Personnel may live in a barracks.
    • Must have an Armory/supply depot inside the Outlier.
    • Recommended to have a mix of swords and bows
    • Recommended to have Iron Armor.
  • The Nether Outlier should have a Mining Outpost.
    • Mining Outpost does not need to have a physical mineshaft. Rather, it's a place where the Miners bring their haul back to.
    • Any Mining Outposts must have at least 1d4 Miners
      • Recommend 2d4 or more Miners
    • Miners should be escorted by military (can be scripted or just hypothetical)
    • Should have ample storage for Netherrack and/or Quartz.
    • Miners must have a place to live in the Nether Outlier.
  • Lava Brigade
    • If a Lava Brigade is present, it will probably be small. The Lava Brigade is 1-2 people that gather Lava for use in Furnaces, etc.
    • Should have Chests/Tanks (if applicable) for Lava Buckets.
    • Should have Chests for empty buckets waiting to be filled.
    • Brigadeers must have a place to live in the Nether Outlier.

Trade and Transportation [Nether Edition?]

Expand your Market by 2-3d6 stalls/shops/etc.

Connect one or more Outliers to the Capital. Any Nether Portals must be guarded by a minimum of 1d6 Guardsmen on the Overworld side. If there is a defensive outpost on the Nether side of an Outlier Portal, there should be at least defensive fortifications, a small barracks, an armory, and 1-2d6 Guardsmen.

If Outliers are connected to the Capital in the Nether, there must be a clear and definable path between Nether Portals.
