Repairing and Improving Citadel Altaerein

Administer

concentrate downtime linguistic mental

You spend the day tending to administrative needs related to running Citadel Altaerein. The administer activity can be used to undo the effects of poor public relations from the use of Deception or Intimidate to Organize Labor, but is also used to maintain relations with the groups you make contact with over the course of the Age of Ashes campaign.

Only one person can attempt to Administer per day (though others can Aid), and once the castle has been administered, no one else can Administer until after interval specified in the result.

If you perform downtime activities while the citadel is not successfully administered you take a -4 circumstance penalty to your checks.

Administering requires a successful DC 20 Society check. For some special Administer actions later in the adventure this DC may change. You can pay a seneschal to administer. As long as the seneschal is paid, the weekly requirement to Administer is a success, but never a critical success.

Critical Success You facilitate the prosperity of the citadel. The citadel functions smoothly for one month. In addition during this time you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Organize Labor

Success Citadel Altaerein functions smoothly for one week.

Failure Citadel Altaerein is not administered, but you may try again on the next day.

Critical Failure Citadel Altaerein is not administered. Your screwup pisses everyone off and you can't try again until a week has passed.

Organize Labor

You spend a day in Breachill recruiting workers to aid in a repair or an upgrade to Citidel Altaerein. Attempt a DC 13 Deception, Diplomacy, or Intimidation Check to Organize workers, or a DC 18 check for specialists.

If you use Deception or Intimidation, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to the roll, but failure comes with consequences.

It costs 1gp per day for regular labor, or 5gp per day for specialists.

Critical Success You organize labor for the full duration of the repair or upgrade activity, and the cost to pay the workers is halved.

Success You organize labor for the full duration of a repair or upgrade activity.

Failure You organize labor for a single day of a repair or upgrade activity. Unless you used Diplomacy, word of your lies or bullying spreads, and you take a -1 circumstance penalty to all future rolls.

Critical Failure You completely fail to organize labor. If you used Deception, or Intimidation, word of your jack-assery spreads and you can no longer use that skill to organize labor.
