INN
The public house offers a common room and shelter for a few horses, but it's hardly a proper inn.
Requires all of the following, in order:
- A designated building site
- A competent engineer/foreman
- Furnishings, equipment, and material (Value 3)
- Pulling Together 2 times (2 boxes), each requiring 1 season, 1 Surplus, and timber/supplies (Value 2)
- A small, devoted staff (innkeep, cook, ostler, etc.)
When you meet the requirements, increase Fortunes by 1. Name the inn, add it to both the Resources list and map.
Henceforth, when the seasons change, whoever is friendliest rolls +Fortunes: on a 10+, ask the GM 3 questions about the wider world; on a 7-9, ask 1 question; on a 6-, ask 1 question, but the GM describes some trouble that stems from the inn or its guests.
Once per season, when you expend 1 Surplus and bring folks together at the inn (to talk, to celebrate, to recuperate), clear one of the steading's debilities.
