When they got the Lyre of Building back to town, they weren't interested in handing it over to Laurabec, but instead gave it to the bard cohort and had him renovate all the refugee camps into real housing. I don't know why I didn't see that coming. So now the city is about twice as big, and all the impoverished refugees sort of own houses or do they because it's still the city's land and... it's chaos. Magistrate Vortberd (here being played by a sort of Lin Bei Fong style humourless matron) really loves to hate my group XDThey followed that up by using the Lyre to pull the Aquila up from the harbour instead of diving for it (the seafarers union are not pleased with them, but the university is). Unfortunately they're thinking about trying to use it to drop houses on enemy armies next, so clearly I need to take it away again -_-; Probably before they go into the sunken prison, or it will not be sunken for long.They totally ignored the Wayfarers, and instead had their hearts set on taking down Xeth Gilder and Tormod Micolai (the localised versions of Makung Shaftobem and Cernaban Gremman). I figured I'd let them tell the story they wanted instead of pushing them around, so I statted up the troublemakers and let them throw down. One session later they had captured Gilder, chased Micolai into retreat (creating a convienient air pirate rival for next book) and took over their fancy house as a home base. The magistrate begrudgingly let them get away with that, since they managed to actually give her enough evidence to close the brothels and biomancers case, and because I thought it would be a good idea to tie them to Tabris (Seaquen) while I had the chance.(*I gave them a bardic follower to make up for the lack of the Fire Forest plot, thus Tiljann, thus their chance to learn the Song of Forms.)TL: DR - HEY NEW GMs, put limitations on the Lyre of Building unless you want to see your players treat your campaign world like Minecraft <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
