Hope appreciates Talin's aid, and particularly points out that Talin's experience with the various production methods and infrastructures of the bug kingdom are a strength the current kindom needs.

(Your work with metallurgy groups has been really helpful! Hope will be limited in how much it can focus on the various production types, so in later turns picking a few production methods to support is always a good idea! If you want help with something feel free to let me know too!)

Look at the training program within the Guard, is it occurring and are there experienced trainers working on this?

Contact the king about drafting some basic rights for the citizens and natural limitations in power for policing units and the Guard. The major goals of this would be an assurance to citizens of basic maintenance of freedoms in light of growing military might. No guards beating citizens randomly in the street. The kingdom isn't developed enough to use resources to make a strong legal system yet, but these and other citizen rights can serve as a base later on.

If accepted these rights should be listed or engraved in various public places. Ways to contact the kingdom should a violation of these rights occur should also be set in place and made public.

Ha! Hope isnt great at this! XD

Hope leaves the agriculture and metalurgy squads to figure it out for themselves. Backing off worked out well for the guard so it might just work here.

It spends the days working to aid the guard in building these outposts, attempting to use shadow magic to aid in the manipulation of large construction elements. (I was thinking that using shadow manipulation to influence the physical would be Hope's magical forte, things like binding or inhibiting an enemy with shadow, or making spikes from that shoot out from shade. Thoughts?)

During the nights it attepts to explore the temple on top of Mount T. Being cautious as it does so.

T.T Lots o ones. And a six. Chaotic luck XD
Also the border patrol and police were meant as a single force with one purpose, I'll try to be clearer in my mass of text, though it looks like it turned out the same! XD.
Sorry we made you write a book! Hope it helps to know that this one has been very excited to read it!!

Are we still in mission phase?
If so

Typed from phone, apologies for the grammar

To Azarian- It might be useful to communicate with the Ogres before heading out then, or bring some along, given it is their home turf.

To Talin- It seems your force may first wish to scout the plains for other reasons for which the herds have become hostile before interacting. When it comes time for diplomatic interactions you might actually be at a disadvantage without the backing of a strong force/creature to earn respect
Eversor or Rusty might both have the needed strength to cow (OOC: because herd, get it?? Hohoho) the population? Otherwise, without a strong force it seems things may fall through quickly.
Edit:(If Talin wanted he could also switch places with hope.
Hope states that it will target stabilizing the conflicts between species. These are erupting due to the addition of the Ogres, but will likely happen again as other species join. Creating an inclusive culture could help lower the tension due to this.

To do so it will focus on the following projects:

P.S Love that meeting. Shoom-monster yess

Woot!!
Thanks!

Ok! I can see hope being relatively loyal to the king given the current situation and how he handled the Forgotten Guards
Serious face then. Gonna set this sucker up!

Hope has gained some appreciation for the Capitol and its citizens through its observations. It was blinded by the excess of activity and movement within that capital, but the movement itself was beautiful.
It has been given some power, and decides to use this power to explore what may be growing issues or underutilized benefits in the population. This is in part to satiate its curiosity on these issues and in part an act of appreciation towards the populace.

As such here are the movements it will take, in order of priority, until the free time is over.
1. Search out the monsters in charge of agriculture and try to identify their current plans. While interacting with them, get a feel for how organized they are.
2. Seek out monsters knowledgable in minerals and blacksmithing, and try to convince them to work towards identifying uses of the two new ores. Introduce them to each other if not already organized or in contact. If possible getting them to work together is the best option, but may be tough.
3. Seek out the rare flower field during the nights, using hope's capacity to stretch over areas and search. Given the small size of the flowers, hope can only stretch to a certain extent, and move by section on the mountain top.
4. If successful, take a Cleridea flower to the monsters in charge of agriculture and see what they know of it, or what they can identify. If not, see if they know alchemist monsters and can reference hope to them.

(Trying to keep it to a rough week of work. I'm studying International Administration, and it seems about right. Particularly if you dont sleep, and I dont. Hohoho! That said if too much please cut or cut off as neccesary!!! (2 seems the big time-sink) Either way, I think at least one major project will come from this! Unless I get all 1s! Hohoho!) (Edit: I dont sleep personally. Thats the joke! Hohoho!!)

Figure out the total size and relevant info of our nation. Citizens, numbers and types of monster (small edit), location on the mountain, food supply, agriculture, current forces, other production if any, what non-military monsters do with their time, and what would they be interested in doing? How large the current site is and how large it can grow. Any other relevant information that makes itself apparent.
 
How long have we been at this site?
How did all of the current monsters get here?
What is the radius of the tear, or in int 1 terms how far does it work? (hope probably isn't super up on geometry)
Who were the old guard, how did they live, where was their settlement, and what skills and items do they bring to the kingdom?

Think a census for information that hope didn't already know, though not a formal one.
Hope will not rush to do this, but rather meander as curiousity takes it, asking questions, wandering, and observing.
This may allow for unsought rumors or information, but may also not allow time to answer all questions/gain a complete understanding of enverything (small edit)

EDIT: Do elementals sleep? I would think not.
If not, Social Observance during the day, but it expands to exist in as much darkeness as it can (within the capitol, on the ground, not in private spaces) to observe as much as possible/see the capitol from a larger perspective. It also may take the time to interact with interesting night creatures in similar ways

EDIT EDIT: Ah if someone drops something or somehow is about to harm the expanded-night-hope, it quickly learns to be aware of such things and avoid them. (May not always work but it at least tries not to get hurt by random things)

Woot
