Replace the text of “Locations” with the following:

Each Adventurer has a location tracked in the GNDT, which is either “Town” (the default) or “The Wilds”.

Adventurers can post a Travel Plan (TP) at any point by creating a blog comment on the most recent Respawn post describing a valid Location they wish to travel to.

An Adventurer can act on a TP that they have posted by changing their Location to the Location specified in that TP. They can only do so if:

* it is their most recent TP before the most recent Respawn, and
* they have not acted on a TP since the most recent Respawn.

Dynastic actions contingent on Location cannot be taken by an Adventurer if they can act on a TP.

Just over the hill, a goblin camp is spotted. Five goblins huddle around a fire, and four bats are roost in the trees surrounding the fire.

Create a new rule called “Locations” with the text:

Each Adventurer has a location tracked in the GNDT, which is either “Town” (the default) or “The Wilds”. Adventurers can change their location at any time.

Create a new rule called “Items” with the text:

The [[Marketplace]] page is ordained for Item Tracking.

In the Marketplace, there is a list of item types. Each item has the attributes described in the Marketplace.

Each player has an inventory, tracked in the GNDT, which is list of items. If trades of items are specified in the Marketplace, players can destroy the set of items on the first side of the trade to gain the set of items on the other side if and only if they are located in the Town.

*If the generated number is greater than or equal to the Target’s hit points:
**Remove the Target from the list of monsters in the wilds.
**For each item in the Target’s type’s spoils list, generate a random number between 1 and 10. If this number is higher than that element’s drop rate, add the item to your inventory.

In “Monsters”, replace:

a frequency, which is an integer between 1 and 10

with

a frequency, which is an integer between 1 and 10, and a list of spoils, which is a list of items paired with a drop rate, which is an integer between 1 and 10.

Create a new page on the wiki called “Marketplace” with the following text:

== List of Items ==

=== Coins ===

‘‘Fashioned out of pure copper, these are the official currency of the entire civilized world.’‘

*Trades:
**1 bat wing → 3 coins
** 1 bone → 15 coins
** 1 monster guts → 20 coins

=== Bat Wing ===

‘‘Thin and delicate, these wings are rather easy to salvage. They’re not extremely useful, but they fetch a decent price.’‘

*Trades:
**1 bat wing → 3 coins

=== Monster Bones ===

‘‘Famously dense, monster bones are great for making weapons and for fertilization.’‘

* Trades:
** 1 bone → 15 coins

=== Monster Guts ===

‘‘They look and smell disgusting, but if you can stand the scent long enough to get them to a trading post, they’ll fetch a high price, as many see them as a delicacy.’‘

* Trades:
** 1 monster guts → 20 coins

Add a column to the table in the Bestiary with the heading “Spoils”. Set the bat’s spoils to “Bat Wing (4), Bat Wing (4)” and set the goblin’s spoils to “Monster Bones (7), Monster Guts (5)”

Replace the text of the rule “Hunting” with:

If they have not done so since the most recent Respawn, and they are located in the Wilds, Adventurers can Hunt by performing the following atomic action:

* Choosing one Monster in the Wilds; this is the Target.
* Generate a random number between 1 and 10 in the GNDT, specifying the Target in the associated GNDT comment.
* If the generated number is greater than or equal to the Target’s hit points, remove the Target from the list of monsters in the wilds.

This dynasty seems to have an interesting idea with adventurer and monsters, I’m hoping to introduce some cool non-RNG battle mechanics which could be cool

To the rule “Spelling”, add:-

* The terms “Adventurer” and “Player” are synonyms.

Replace “player” with “Adventurer” throughout the dynastic ruleset.

Luther&Locke idles out after a week’s inactivity. Quorum remains 4.

Create a new rule called “Monsters” with the text:

The [[Bestiary]] page is ordained for monster tracking.

In the Bestiary, there is a list of monster types. Each monster type has a name, a hit point value which is a positive integer, a frequency, which is an integer between 1 and 10. The Bestiary also contains a list of monsters in the wilds.

Create a new rule called “Spawning” with the text:

The following atomic action is called Spawning:

* Randomly choose a monster type from the list with the probability for each being that type’s frequency over the sum of all types’ frequencies.
* Create a monster of that type and add it to the list of monsters in the wilds.
* The Dungeon Master can only perform this action as described elsewhere in the ruleset.

If they have not done so in 70 hours, the Dungeon Master should perform the following action, called Respawning:

* Establish the ideal monster population (IMP) as the number of active players plus two.
* If there are a number of monsters in the wilds is equal to or greater than the IMP, create a blog post to this effect and skip the rest of the steps.
* Otherwise, spawn monsters until the number of monsters in the wilds is equal to the IMP and create a blog post describing all monsters created in this step.

Create a new rule called “Hunting” with the text:

If they have not done so since the most recent Respawn, and they are located in the Wilds, Adventurers can Hunt for a Target by performing the following atomic action:

* Generate a random number between 1 and 10.
* If the generated number is greater than or equal to the Target’s hit points, remove the Target from the list of monsters in the wilds.

A party of adventurers arrives in a town at the edge of civilization. What lies beyond is an endless wilderness. Very little is known about it other than that it is very large and very dangerous. Many claim it’s full of ferocious monsters.

Most people would stay as far away from such a place as possible. But not our intrepid friends. Each member of the party has their own motivation for braving the Wilds. But who will return to tell of their exploits is yet to be decided.

Repeal all Dynastic Rules. Replace “Detective” with “Adventurer” and “Chief” with “Dungeon Master”.

Now that victory has been locked down, here’s a thread for post-game discussion.

Joshua knew it would be a fool’s errand to attempt an escape from a Chamberlain house crawling with cops and detectives, so instead he just stood there as he waited to be handcuffed and hauled away, relatives gawking in disbelief.

Joshua would later confess to the crime:

“Yes, I killed him. Can you blame me? He only married his first wife for love. The rest he married for money, or in my mother’s case, political influence. My mother was decades younger than him, but after Anne and I were born, he divorced my mother. I was six years old. I hardly remember her, and poor Anne only knows what I told her.

“I had to do it. Not because of something he did to me—in fact, I had a nice, luxurious life in Chamberlain house—but because of what he did to all of his wives and his children, and because of what he would do if he was still alive.

“It was easy to slip the poison into his glass of red wine as I visited. The old fool likes his wine red and old, so I didn’t have to worry about him seeing or smelling it. It took an hour or two, but he eventually died in the Billiard Room.

“Anyway, it had to be done. Lock me up if you want. I stand by my decision.”

Meanwhile, the guests congratulated the detective Trigon on his discovery. Each time someone did so, he would politely thank them, but deflect the blame. “Half the work was done by my sidekick, pokes. I was just double-checking.”

This is an accusation.

Joshua was the killer. He did it with poison in the Billiard Room for the purpose of revenge.

The butler, Cartlesham, serves the house’s guests with strong coffee as the investigations continue into the night.

Update: Seven clues were found. It becomes Public Knowledge over coffee that Isabel is not the murderer.

If the Chief has not voted for or deferential on this proposal, the rest of it has no effect.

In “If the Chief has not done so in the past 46 hours”, replace 46 with 22.

In “A Sluggish detective may only change their Location once in any 54-hour period”, replace 54 with 36.

Unattended candles begin to gutter and smoke in the dining room.

Update: Five clues are found. It becomes Public Knowledge that Fire was not the method of the murder.
