Dwarven economy

При досягненні певного рівня виробництва в фортеці може запуститися дварфійськая економіка. Дварфи отримуватимуть гроші за роботи і оплачуватимуть проживання.

З'являються 4 нові споруди, що дозволяють дварфам купувати необхідні їм товари. В останній раз, коли фіча працювала, багато гравців були незадоволені явищем фрагментації грошей. При випуску з кузні виноситься купка в 500 монет, з якої дварфи відокремлюють власні пачки, аж до 1 монети. Зрештою дварфи виявляються заваленими завданнями на перенесення купок монет, які не можна зістакти.

Kirnon Thornheart

Kirnon Thornheart was the head priest in the primary temple in Lucinni. With many of Lucinni's citizens working on the treacherous seas, many families would come to the temple in order to pray for the safety of their family. As such, Thornheart had quite the following as a religious leader in Lucinni. When Dreynar returned home with the brand of Talos across his face, Thornheart rallied the townsfolk against Dreynar running the "ill-omen" out of town with rocks and torches.

Kirnon, like many other priests, would later revoke the gods and join the Enlightened Flame.

Jherron

Jherron is a half-orc craftsman who leads Merrowcreek's metallurgy guild, Iron Wing. Jherron has always been a kind soul, although his outward appearance and manner of speaking may set those who don't know him on a personal level on edge. Jherron took the lost Dreynar in as a son, seeing that the child had no where else to go. Although he quickly realized that the child's story was completely made up, he played along with the idea of Dreynar Stormcaller, the voice of storm. Jherron taught the boy the basics of thing and tinkering.

Later, when the party would retreat to Merrowcreek after their time in the underdark, Jherron would tell the party of the recent deal he had made with Waylorn Industries (the company of the very man who had sold the party into slavery). After Having most of Iron Wing arrested, Dreynar still lacks the courage to look Jherron in the face.

Chayari is the capital city of the Ayun Vale, and is the second largest city in the entirety of Aerizan. It is the largest port city on the continent and wealthiest trade city as well. The city itself is built upon a large hill in concentric circles. The outermost circle contains the lower income families, as well as the harbor and production facilities of the smiths. In the middle district, many middle class families make their home. It is there that the majority of businesses make their home, including the academy. Closed off from the rest of the city is the innermost circle, the noble district. Here, the wealthy make their home, as well as the political figures in charge of the Ayun Vale. Located in the center of the noble district are the two towers. The first, a monument to magic, crafted out of marble and standing five hundred feet tall, the Tower of Magic stands as the home of the high wizards of the Ayun Vale as well as the home base of the Enlightened Flame. The second, the government tower, similarly tall, but crafted of grey stone, in lies the inner workings of the Ayun government and its rulers.

HB 237

AN ACT relating to mental illness.

Sponsor: C. McCoy

Co-Sponsors:  K. Banta, T. Bojanowski, C. Booker, G. Brown Jr, T. Burch, D. Elliott, K. Flood, A. Gentry, J. Glenn, D. Graham, J. Graviss, T. Huff, J. Jenkins, N. Kulkarni, M. Marzian, C. Massey, R. Meyer, C. Miller, J. Miller, P. Minter, K. Moser, J. Nemes, M. Prunty, R. Rothenburger, S. Sheldon, M. Sorolis, C. Stevenson, N. Tate, J. Tipton, S. Westrom, B. Wheatley, L. Willner

House Bill 237 adds mental illness to be a precluding factor for the death penalty. Currently, there are various different factors, decided upon by the United States Supreme Court, that prevent a defendant from receiving a sentence of death. These include being a minor, committing a crime other than murder, and, most similarly to this bill, having an intellectual disability. This bill is trying to prevent anyone who suffers from schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder or delusional disorder to receive the death penalty. It also outlines procedures to be followed when invoking this.

This bill is sponsored by 32 representatives, from both political parties. The fact that it has strong bipartisan support and so many co-sponsors indicates that the bill is more likely to keep moving and get passed. The issue of the death penalty has been a very high profile one, with many different cases reaching the Supreme Court for decades. So, this bill has the potential to get a lot of attention.

Currently, no states or the federal government have exceptions to the death penalty for mental illness, so Kentucky is not an outlier either regionally or nationally. Six other state legislatures, out of 29 total who have the death penalty, have proposed legislation that would prevent people with severe mental illness from receiving the death penalty. However, many states, 12 exactly, have bills attempting to end the death penalty entirely, so this number might underrepresent the true support for preventing the death penalty for mental illness.

Status: HB 237 never got out of committee or received any action. See HB 10 for explanation.

HB 115

## Bill Information

House Bill 115

Title: AN ACT relating to colon cancer prevention and declaring an emergency.

Sponsor: Rep. Tom Burch

Date Introduced: 5 January 2016

Final Resolution: Became law without the Governor's signature on April 7th, 2016.

## What Does it Do?

This bill deals with colon cancer prevention and with eligible uninsured patients for the colon cancer screening program. This bill would expand the current law that limits screenings for the states Colon cancer Screening Program between the ages of 50-64. Citizens would then go by the American Cancer Society screening guidelines to determine eligibility. Unfortunately, Kentucky leads the nation in colon cancer rates, so this bill would go a long way in combating these numbers. This type of cancer is 90% prevent through screening, so this bill is important to pass.

## What are the Politics?

*This bill is a bipartisan bill.* In the House and Senate, the bill received overwhelming support.

### Pros:

Citizens who are not insured could possibly receive colon caner screenings as long as they meet accepted guidelines. Cases of colon cancer can be detected earlier if known. This would help Kentucky's reputation of leading the nation in colon cancer.

### Cons:

Rep. Benvenuti expressed concern that the bill would cost taxpayers a lot of money. "It's slippery slope that we are going down", he told the Lane Report.

## Major Changes During Process

There were **two** amendments made:

**HCS1**- Retain original provisions of the bill except to state that treatment and surveillance may be provided if funds are available.

**HCA1**- (T. Burch)- Made the title as written above.

Everyone's tryin to climb over each other to get ta the peak. There’re people who slander my good name to this day ta try to get a leg up in this dog-eat-dog world.

Lynx

A local alchemist of a mysterious past who runs a potion shop in the back alleys of Merrowcreek. Although her shop has been there since the founding of the town, Lynx has not aged a day. There are those who would take up arms against her, believing her to be a witch. With her being the sole suppliers of needed alchemical reagents in town, most leave her be.

Dreynar would often visit her shop as a child searching for a means to remove the lightning bolt brand across his face, hoping that his life might return to normal if it were to disappear. However, no success was found.

S2: E1 Falentines Day

After a month away, the party reunites in Lancaster for the Winter's Festival, a time of camaraderie and loooooooove and/or casual sex. Here the party participated in numerous magical events and tournaments, each member winning a magical trinket of their own. From here they set out toward the distant city of Talinvale, a city recently plagued by a monster lurking in the woods. Attempting to save time, the party took a short cut through the mountains where they were met with horrific tentacle beasts that backed the party into a corner. Barely escaping with their lives, the party finds them selves in the ancient burial chamber of an unsuccessful lich, Sebastian, the many souls he captured in the construction of his phylactery attacking the party in their frustration and agony. Here the divine casters of the group set aside their deity in order to tap into a more powerful source to protect one another. They destroyed the phylactery and barely made it out of the mountain alive.
