I'm going to make it simple this time around . . . Action 1-4: The metals project Weight: Quadruple Description: With Zenos' death, and his army's retreat, the United Provinces decide to take a bit of a breather. The new government is functioning well, and no crises have yet arisen. The Duke, Premier Vellin, and Raden Ghere throw their weight behind the metallurgy project. A party of mining engineers is despatched to Kasovia to see about improving levels of production and ore purity. Meanwhile, in Thalcedon, work begins on a new smelter for the project, and this time, the contractors are much more carefully vetted. At the same time, a group working with the small amounts of the new steel alloy that have already been made begins to investigate potential applications; the advantages of lighter armor and weapons that are as strong as those in current use are obvious, but the new alloy's springiness suggests intriguing possibilities for archery . . . Difficulty: Easy (+1) Factors: Base is Hard (-1). Quadruple weight gives a (+2) bonus, raising it to Easy. ****** Things might start getting exciting again in 1442.
