You only nedd say 3-4 to cover a region. Have it as your communications hub. animal messenger and other low level com spells can get information to you. Also since you have an "in" with a wizards guild. Scrying on your own guys at a preset schedule is a means to deliver info quickly as well.Also get a business/ merchant partner. A character in my present game is in owns a merchant business that a friend of the family administers. In a recent discussion on how business was the Adminsitrator said pretty good since they knew which way a recent council vote (cast by the character) was going so investements were moved around to take advantage of that. Ie Insider trading, illegal now-encouraged back in the goode olde days. Your gonna get lots of info that doesn't mean much to the military or even to the person gathering it but to a merchant it may give them an edge and this is a means to generate money for your Scout group. Hire a few experts to filter and gather info and make it useful.If your gonna gather info Use it to your advantage including making and selling maps/gides to adventurers. Its also handy to know which other adventuring groups are active and what they are doing. these are movers and shakers of the world. Make sure you have city information mongers as well. Bards and rogues excell at this. Also within the governement as well. The hardest part to keep in mind is the medieval pace. Things move very slowly when using horses, carts etc. We tend to get into a modern mindset and forget how slowly things happen in that sort of low-no tech society. Keep this in mind. It makes the speed you can react with magic/ organtization that much more important.laterhope ith elped</blockquote>
