Archaeological FindEvent +0

Legacy Content

Beneficial Hex-KM 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 554
Location A claimed hex of the GM's choosing but not in the influence of a settlement
You hear that a well-preserved ruin in a remote reach of your kingdom may contain historical artifacts connected to people who lived in your land long ago. You can send a team of archaeologists to investigate.
Kingdom Skill Exploration; Leader Viceroy

Critical Success The site proves to be an ancient Kellid settlement that greatly predates the Taldan expansion into the region. Your people are delighted by the discovery. Reduce Unrest by 1d4, and until the end of your next Kingdom turn, all Culture- and Economy-based skill checks gain a +2 circumstance bonus. If any of your settlements has a Museum, you put archaeological findings from this hex on display to the further delight of your citizens. Reduce Unrest by an additional 1.
Success The site proves to be remains of an old Taldan camp from the Second Army of Exploration. The discovery is interesting but not particularly surprising. Reduce Unrest by 2.
Failure The site proves to be the remains of a relatively recent village abandoned during a previous attempt to settle the Stolen Lands. Nothing particularly interesting is discovered.
Critical Failure You never hear from your archaeologists again. Increase Unrest by 1d4 and Decay by 1. You can try to investigate this site again as a Region activity during the Activity phase of any Kingdom turn by attempting another Exploration check, but as the investigation has proven dangerous, the DC increases by 2.

Assassination AttemptEvent +1

Legacy Content

Dangerous 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 554
One of your leaders or prominent citizens is targeted by assassins. The GM determines who hired these assassins, then attempts a DC 11 flat check. On a success, the target is an NPC assigned to a leadership role. On a failure (or if the PCs have no NPC leaders), the target is a notable NPC in the kingdom, preferably one with whom the PCs have established a friendly relationship.
Kingdom Skill Intrigue; Leader Warden

Critical Success The assassins are caught, driven off, or otherwise thwarted without ever endangering their targets. The targeted NPC may not even realize they were in danger, but criminal elements in your nation take notice. Reduce Unrest by 1d4 and reduce one Ruin of your choice by 1.
Success The assassins reach their target but are driven off or defeated before the NPC is harmed.
Failure The assassins reach their target and manage to harm but not kill the target before they are driven off or defeated. Gain 1d4 Unrest, and if the NPC was a leader, they are removed from that leadership role until the end of the next Kingdom turn.
Critical Failure The assassins slay the NPC and escape. If the NPC was a leader, that leadership role is now vacant. Gain 2d4 Unrest and 1d4 points to Decay.
Special If this event occurs while the kingdom is at war, increase the event's level modifier to +3.

Bandit ActivityEvent +1

Legacy Content

Continuous Dangerous 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 555
Bandits have begun to prey upon your kingdom!
Kingdom Skill Defense; Leader Warden

Critical Success The bandits are captured, run off, or defeated, and merchants can confidently ply their wares. Reduce Unrest by 1d4, and during the next Kingdom turn, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to Economy-based checks.
Success The bandits are prevented from preying upon your people, but they continue to be active. Your Resource Dice are reduced by 1 at the start of your next Kingdom turn.
Failure The bandits plunder caravans and remote storehouses, and merchants grow cautious and afraid. Gain 1 Unrest, and at the start of your next Kingdom turn, your Resource Dice are reduced by 4.
Critical Failure Bandits rampage the land, and even start to encroach into your settlements. Gain 1d4 Unrest, increase a Ruin of your choice by 1, and at the start of your next Kingdom turn your Resource Dice are halved or reduced by 4, whichever results in a lower total.
Resolution You can end this continuous event with a critical success on the check. Alternately, if the PCs are eager to seek out the bandits, the GM could build a short side quest to play out their attempt to defeat them.

Barbarian ImmigrantsEvent +2

Legacy Content

Beneficial 
Source Kingmaker Companion Guide pg. 10
Nethys note: This event requires that Amiri is a companion.

Once the PCs defeat Armag at the end of Chapter 7, the Tiger Lord barbarians scatter back into the surrounding wilderness, but some of them are drawn by Amiri's reputation and look to join the PCs' kingdom. This event occurs during the first Kingdom turn after Armag's defeat.
Kingdom Skill Statecraft; Leader Warden

Critical Success A large number of barbarians are welcomed into several settlements. Their presence helps to bolster a sense of security (decrease Unrest by 1d6), and also helps to curtail bandit and monster activity. From this point on, kingdom checks made to resolve the following random events gain a +2 circumstance bonus: Bandit Activity, Monster Activity, and Undead Uprising.
Success As critical success, but decrease Unrest by 1d4 and the circumstance bonus is only +1.
Failure The integration of the barbarians into the kingdom is a bit rougher than expected and doesn't provide additional defense against events. Reduce Unrest by 1.
Critical Failure The barbarians and citizens clash violently. Increase Unrest by 1d4 and one Ruin of the players' choice by 1; the barbarians then scatter back into the wilderness.

BoomtownEvent +0

Legacy Content

Beneficial Settlement 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 555
Location The smallest settlement in the nation
Commerce and trade booms in one of your settlements, drawing many join the flurry of activity.
Kingdom Skill Trade; Leader Treasurer

Critical Success At the start of the next Kingdom turn, you gain 4 bonus Resource Dice. For the rest of that turn, item bonuses from structures in the settlement are doubled; this increase can exceed the normal maximum item bonus your structures can provide.
Success You gain 2 bonus Resource Dice at the start of the next Kingdom turn. For the remainder of that turn, the item bonus granted by one of the settlement's structures (chosen by the players) is doubled; this increase can exceed the normal maximum item bonus your structures can provide.
Failure You gain 1 bonus Resource Die at the start of the next Kingdom turn.
Critical Failure The boom is brief before it bursts like a bubble, leaving many merchants jealous and frustrated about not being able to take part. You gain 2 fewer Resource Dice on your next Kingdom turn.
Special Boomtown events create a large amount of unexpected waste and trash. If a boomtown event occurs in a settlement without a dump, the result of the Trade check is worsened one degree.

Building DemandEvent -1

Legacy Content

Continuous Dangerous Settlement 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 556
Location The largest settlement in the nation
The citizens of the affected settlement demand that a particular structure be either built or demolished (equal chance of either). If the citizens demand a new structure, the GM chooses one as close to the kingdom's level as possible, preferably one that decreases Unrest when built. If the citizens demand a structure be demolished, the GM chooses one that best fits the storyline of the campaign, preferably one whose item bonus or other benefits have been rendered obsolete by newer structures. If you are willing to commit each upcoming Civic activity granted by this settlement to attempting the requested Build Structure or Demolish activity until they succeed, you do not attempt the check.
Kingdom Skill Politics; Leader Viceroy

Critical Success You persuade the citizens to give up their demands.
Success You quell the citizens' demands for now, but they are not happy about your refusal to comply. Gain 1 Unrest.
Failure The citizens continue their demands and some refuse to work in protest. Gain 1 Unrest and roll 2 fewer Resource dice at the start of your next turn.
Critical Failure As failure, but violence during the protests also increases Decay by 1.
Resolution You can end this continuous event by critically succeeding or succeeding at the check or successfully building or demolishing the requested structure.

Crop FailureEvent +0

Legacy Content

Dangerous Hex-KM 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 556
Location A Farmland hex of the GM's choice. If there are no Farmlands in the kingdom, this event has no effect.
Pests, blight, or bad weather damage the harvest.
Kingdom Skill Agriculture; Leader Treasurer

Critical Success You contain the damage from the crop failure without it impacting your kingdom's resources.
Success You contain the crop failure, but not before it impacts your kingdom. Increase your kingdom's Consumption by 1 during the next Kingdom turn.
Failure The crop failure wipes out entire fields. Increase your kingdom's Consumption by 1d4+1 during the next Kingdom turn.
Critical Failure As failure, but the crop failure is so devastating that the Farmland is destroyed.

Cult ActivityEvent +1

Legacy Content

Continuous Dangerous Settlement 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 556
Location A randomly determined settlement of the GM's choice—the GM should not reveal which one to the PCs until they succeed at this event's Intrigue check, as until then the location of the cult's hideout should remain a mystery to solve!
A religious cult opposed to the kingdom's goals or established religions begins kidnapping, converting, or sacrificing citizens. The cult remains secret and hidden in one of the nation's settlements, operating out of a covert temple or safehouse somewhere in the settlement. You must attempt the Intrigue check to locate the cult each Kingdom turn until you succeed in doing so; then, you must attempt the Folklore check each Kingdom turn until you defeat the cult.
Kingdom Skill Intrigue; Leader Magister

Critical Success You discover which settlement houses the cult's headquarters. When you attempt Folklore checks to defeat the cult, reduce the DC by 5.
Success As success, but without reducing the Folklore DC. Increase Unrest by 1 as a result of the cult's activities.
Failure You fail to determine where the cult's headquarters are. Increase Unrest by 1 as a result of the cult's activities.
Critical Failure As failure, but increase Unrest by 1d4 and increase Corruption by 1.
Resolution After the cult's headquarters are discovered, to end this continuous event the PCs must defeat the cult by succeeding at the Folklore check. Optionally, the GM can build a short adventure for the PCs to infiltrate the cult headquarters and defeat them in encounter mode.
Special If this event occurs in a settlement with a Sewer System, you take a –2 item penalty to Intrigue checks to discover the cult's hideout. If this event occurs while the PCs are playing through Chapter 5, increase the event's level modifier to +3. The cult in this case is always associated with the worship of Lamashtu.

Diplomatic OvertureEvent +0

Legacy Content

Beneficial 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 557
Another nation or group sends an ambassador to your kingdom. The group sending the overture is randomly selected from the Negotiation DCs sidebar on page 519. If the kingdom has established diplomatic relations with that group, the event proceeds with the Statecraft check below. If the kingdom has not yet established diplomatic relations with the group, this event instead gives the kingdom the opportunity to immediately use the Send Diplomatic Envoy Leadership activity.
Kingdom Skill Statecraft; Leader Emissary

Critical Success The diplomatic meeting is incredibly successful, and you can choose two of the following benefits: gain 5 Commodities of your choice, gain an additional 2 Resource Dice at the start of your next turn, or automatically establish a trade agreement with the group.
Success As success, but choose only one benefit.
Failure Your meeting is cordial but unproductive.
Critical Failure Your diplomatic meeting goes poorly. Unless you bribe the group with either 5 Commodities of your choice or 10 RP, they break off diplomatic relations with you. Reestablishing diplomatic relations can be attempted via future Send Diplomatic Envoy activities in the usual manner, but with a –2 circumstance penalty.

DiscoveryEvent +0

Legacy Content

Beneficial 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 557
Scholars unearth a bit of ancient lore or devise important new research of their own.
Kingdom Skill Scholarship; Leader Counselor

Critical Success Your discovery brings glory and a boon to your resources! At the start of your next Kingdom turn, gain 1 Fame or Infamy point (as appropriate) and gain 6 bonus Resource Dice. Your people are amazed. Reduce Unrest by 2.
Success Your discovery is a helpful (but not overly amazing) boon to your kingdom's resources. On your next turn, gain 3 bonus Resource Dice.
Failure Your discovery is of some academic interest but ultimately of limited use. Gain 1 bonus Resource Die at the start of your next turn.
Critical Failure Your discovery turns out to be a dead end and a wasteful boondoggle. Reduce your total Resource Dice by 2 next turn.

Drug DenEvent +1

Legacy Content

Continuous Dangerous Settlement 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 557
Location The largest settlement in the kingdom; the GM secretly selects one of the Residential lots to house a drug den.
One of the Residential lots in your settlement has become an illicit hive for trading harmful and addictive drugs, and as long as it continues to operate, it could bring ruin to your entire kingdom.
Kingdom Skill Intrigue; Leader Counselor

Critical Success You uncover and stop the drug ring before it causes a lot of damage, bringing counseling to those who may need it.
Success You work to minimize the damage done by the illicit drug trade, but the activity continues. Gain 1 Unrest.
Failure Drug dealers continue to spread their influence. Addiction increases and harms productivity, and drugrelated crime grows. Increase Unrest, Crime, and Decay by 1 each.
Critical Failure Your attempt is a total failure. Increase Unrest by 1d4 and increase Crime and Decay (one score by 1, the other score by 2). In addition, the Residential lot that the drug den was located in is reduced to Rubble. The drug den then moves to another lot chosen by the GM (see Location, above).
Resolution A critical success on the check ends this continuous event. Optionally, the GM can instead build a short adventure for the PCs to infiltrate the drug den and defeat the criminals in encounter mode.

Economic SurgeEvent +2

Legacy Content

Beneficial Continuous 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 557
Trade and productivity have been booming throughout your kingdom.
Kingdom Skill Trade; Leader Treasurer

Critical Success A trade bonanza brings unexpected profits. Gain 2 bonus Resource Dice at the start of your next Kingdom turn.
Success As critical success but you gain only 1 bonus Resource Die at the start of your next Kingdom turn.
Failure The economic surge slows for a bit; if you failed at this check on your previous Kingdom turn, the Economic Surge event ends.
Critical Failure The economic surge comes to an end.
Resolution This continuous event ends following either a critical failure or two consecutive failures on the check.

Expansion DemandEvent +0

Legacy Content

Continuous Dangerous 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 558
The citizens of your kingdom want expansion! If you successfully Claimed a Hex this turn, the result of your check for this event is improved one degree.
Kingdom Skill Exploration; Leader Warden

Critical Success Your citizens are pleased with the growth of the kingdom.
Success You satisfy the citizens' demands for growth, but if you don't successfully Claim a Hex during your next Kingdom turn, increase Unrest by 1.
Failure Your citizens remain unhappy with your kingdom's growth. Increase Unrest by 1. If you don't successfully Claim a hex during your next Kingdom turn, increase Unrest by 1 again.
Critical Failure As failure, but increase the Unrest by 2.
Resolution Achieve either a success or critical success at this event.

Festive InvitationEvent +0

Legacy Content

Beneficial 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 558
Your kingdom's leaders are invited to a festival in a region in which the kingdom has established diplomatic relations. The GM chooses an existing diplomatic ally to send the invitation and should customize the details of that event to match that ally; if your kingdom has no diplomatic relations, this event has no effect.
When your leaders attend the festival, you can bring up to 4 Resource Dice as “gifts” to the festival; reduce the number of Resource Dice you roll on the next Kingdom turn by this amount.
Kingdom Skill Arts; Leader Ruler

Critical Success You entertain and delight your host and bolster your alliance with their people, and they gratefully reciprocate your gifts. For each Resource Die you brought as a gift, choose a type of Commodity. Then roll the die; you gain that amount of that Commodity.
Attempt a DC 11 flat check. If you are successful, your ally extends a Diplomatic Overture or a Visiting Celebrity event (equal chance of either) during the Event phase of your next Kingdom turn (in addition to any other event that would occur).
Success The festival is a delight. If you brought Resource Dice as gifts, choose a Commodity. You gain an amount of that Commodity equal to the number of Resource Dice you brought as gifts.
Failure The festival was entertaining enough, but if you brought Resource Dice as gifts, they're not reciprocated.
Critical Failure One of your leaders committed a faux pas during the festival, and the celebration ends prematurely. Attempt a DC 11 flat check. If you fail, your host cuts ties with your kingdom; gain 1 Unrest. (In the future, you may attempt to reestablish diplomatic relations in the usual way.)

FeudEvent +0

Legacy Content

Continuous Dangerous Settlement 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 558
Location Two settlements of the GM's choice. If the kingdom doesn't have at least two settlements, then this event has no effect.
A rivalry between influential groups (nobles, guilds, politicians, etc.) from two different settlements has escalated and may soon turn violent.
Kingdom Skill Politics; Leader Counselor

Critical Success You mediate the rivals' differences and not only get them to drop their feud, but also broker an alliance between the two. The feud ends, and the rivals are particularly productive during the next turn. Gain 2 bonus Resource Dice at the beginning of the next Kingdom turn.
Success You get the rivals to back down, though their mutual dislike simmers behind the scenes. The feud continues into the next turn.
Failure You fail to quiet the rivals and they continue duels, rumormongering, intrigue, and strife. The conflict prevents you from recruiting armies in the two affected settlements until the next Kingdom turn. Increase Unrest by 1.
Critical Failure The rivals ignore royal commands and disrupt both settlements with their private war. The ongoing feud prevents you from recruiting armies in the two affected settlements until the feud ends. In addition, skirmishing increases Unrest by 2 and one Ruin of your choice by 1; these increases are doubled to 4 Unrest and 2 Ruin if you critically failed this check last turn.
Resolution The feud ends when you achieve a critical success on the check. If this continuous event has occurred for at least 3 consecutive Kingdom turns, you may choose to resolve it at the end of a Kingdom turn by spending 4 Resource Dice of RP to pay off the feuding factions.

Food ShortageEvent +1

Legacy Content

Dangerous 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 559
Spoilage, treachery, or bad luck has caused a food shortage this turn.
Kingdom Skill Agriculture; Leader Treasurer

Critical Success Through careful rationing, you manage to get through the shortage without harm.
Success Your shortages are manageable, with some workers going hungry. Your kingdom's Consumption is increased by 1 at the start of the next turn. Attempt a DC 6 flat check. On a failure, this event reoccurs next turn (in addition to any other event that would occur).
Failure The shortages are severe. Your kingdom's Consumption is increased by 1 per settlement at the start of the next turn. Attempt a DC 16 flat check. On a failure, this event reoccurs next turn (in addition to any other event that would occur).
Critical Failure The shortages are catastrophic. Increase Unrest by 2 and Strife by 1, and your kingdom's Consumption is increased by 1 per settlement at the start of the next turn. This event reoccurs next turn (in addition to any other event that would occur).

Food SurplusEvent +0

Legacy Content

Beneficial 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 559
Local crops thrive, hunters do very well, or livestock numbers are greater than expected. If this event occurs, it immediately ends any ongoing food shortage event.
Kingdom Skill Agriculture; Leader Treasurer

Critical Success Your bumper crops include wild harvests that allow you to skip the entire Pay Consumption step of the Upkeep phase of your next Kingdom turn. Gain 1d6 Food Commodities.
Success Your excess crops lead to increased supplies. Treat your Consumption during the next Kingdom turn as 2 lower than its actual score and gain 1d6 Food Commodities.
Failure The food surplus isn't as huge as you'd expected. Treat your Consumption during the next turn as 1 lower than its actual score.
Critical Failure What you thought was an excess of food is infested with spoilage, ergot, or other contamination. Increase Unrest by 1 and one Ruin of your choice by1.

Goblin BacklashEvent -2

Legacy Content

Continuous Dangerous 
Source Kingmaker Companion Guide pg. 60
Nethys note: If the PC's is Famous and Nok-Nok is assigned to a leadership position, then the following event occurs during the next kingdom turn's Event Phase.

Your citizens doubt your wisdom in appointing Nok-Nok and worry that his unsavory personality traits might cause issues for the kingdom overall. If Nok-Nok is still chaotic evil, you take a –2 circumstance penalty in resolving this event.
Kingdom Skill Politics; Leader Ruler

Critical Success You convince the citizens that Nok-Nok will do well, and use his appointment to prove that you are seeking to build a diverse kingdom where anyone can find a role in shaping its destiny. The event ends, and your citizens grow more accepting of all people. Word of your kingdom's acceptance of normally shunned elements of society spreads, and from this point on, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to all New Leadership, Quell Unrest, and Pledge of Fealty checks.
Success You prevent the unrest from growing, but the citizens continue to grumble and grouse about Nok-Nok into the next kingdom turn.
Failure The people rise up, with protests and even a few riots taking place as concerned citizens fan the flames of dissent in the kingdom. Gain 1 Unrest.
Critical Failure As failure, but gain 1d4 Unrest. In addition, an Assassination Attempt event takes place immediately after resolving this event, with Nok-Nok as the target. The assassin itself should be a non-good, previously unnamed NPC citizen in the PC's kingdom. They weren't hired by anyone, instead acting on their own to remove a perceived threat (Nok-Nok) to the kingdom's well-being.
Resolution You can end this continuous event with a critical success on the check. Alternately, if the PCs remove Nok-Nok from his leadership position (including if he's killed), the event ends. If the PCs do this though, and then attempt to install Nok-Nok as a leader at a later date, this event occurs again but its level is increased by 1.

Good WeatherEvent +1

Legacy Content

Beneficial Fortune 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 559
Good weather raises spirits among citizens.
Kingdom Skill Wilderness; Leader Magister

Critical Success The glorious climate puts everyone in an excellent mood. Reduce Unrest by 1d6, and once during your next Kingdom turn when you attempt an Agriculture, Boating, Exploration, or Wilderness check, you can roll twice and take the better result.
Success Extended good weather makes life pleasant and easy. Reduce Unrest by 1d4.
Failure Good weather produces a short but pleasant respite. Reduce Unrest by 1.
Critical Failure The good weather doesn't last long enough to help.

InquisitionEvent +1

Legacy Content

Continuous Dangerous 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 559
Demagogues and zealots mobilize public opinion against a particular ancestry, religion, kingdom, behavior, or leader. This particular inquisition's dogma and beliefs are driven by a combination of fear, hatred, and ignorance, yet its members are nevertheless compelling and charismatic.
Kingdom Skill Folklore; Leader Magister

Critical Success Choose to either pacify or defeat the inquisitors. If you pacify them, the inquisition event ends but the inquisitors remain active—if this event occurs again, they are even more headstrong; increase the event's level modifier by 2. If you defeat them, the inquisition ends but the violence of the event increases one Ruin of your choice by 1.
Success You protect the targeted victims of the inquisition, though the inquisition's ideas continue to spread. Increase Unrest by 1.
Failure The inquisitors strike out in force. Gain 1d4 Unrest and increase two Ruins of your choice by 1.
Critical Failure As failure, but the Inquisition targets a specific structure in one of your settlements (the GM selects a structure appropriate to the inquisition's nature of intolerance or hatred). Attempt a basic Defense check. If you fail, that structure is reduced to Rubble and increase Decay by 1.
Resolution This event continues until you achieve a critical success at resolving the event. Alternately, the inquisition can be ended by having the PCs go on a short quest to infiltrate the inquisition's headquarters to confront and defeat its leaders.

Justice PrevailsEvent +0

Legacy Content

Beneficial 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 559
The authorities catch a notorious criminal, exonerate a wrongfully accused innocent, shut down a major criminal operation, or thwart a plot against a settlement. Whatever the case, some injustice that has long vexed your citizens has finally been resolved.
Kingdom Skill Statecraft; Leader Warden

Critical Success The triumph of law and justice invites celebration. Reduce Unrest by 1d6 and reduce each Ruin by 1. Alternately, if you're suffering from a continuous Bandit Activity, Cult Activity, Drug Den, Inquisition, Sacrifices, Sensational Crime, Squatters, or Vandals event, you can instead cause that event to end.
Success A celebration of the common good delights the locals. Reduce Unrest by 1d4 or reduce two Ruins of your choice by 1 each.
Failure Justice is done, but at a cost of bad publicity. If you don't Quell Unrest at least once during the next Kingdom turn, the kingdom gains 1d4 Unrest at the end of the next turn.
Critical Failure The victory is undercut by backdoor deals that let the guilty escape justice or reveal unpleasant secrets. Gain 1d4 Unrest, 2 Crime, and 1 point to another Ruin of your choice.

Land RushEvent +1

Legacy Content

Dangerous Hex-KM 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 560
Location An unclaimed hex adjacent to your kingdom's border
Overeager settlers attempt to construct Farmland or a Work Site (as chosen by the GM) at their own expense in the wilderness, and they begin squabbling over the site's ownership.
Kingdom Skill Politics; Leader Viceroy

Critical Success You mediate the conflict among the settlers, and in thanks, they agree to join your kingdom. You automatically claim the Hex, gaining 10 kingdom XP (page 540) and increasing your kingdom's Size by 1 (this affects all statistics determined by Size; see page 532). You immediately gain the benefits of the Farmland or Work Site the settlers built. Decrease Unrest by 1.
Success You mediate the conflict among the settlers, and they agree to join your kingdom if you pay them 4 Resource Dice of RP. If you do so, treat this as a critical success. If you refuse, treat this as a Failure.
Failure The settlers refuse any overture to join your kingdom and their bickering continues, ultimately resulting in the destruction of their hard work and many deaths. Your kingdom isn't significantly impacted, but your failure to handle the situation generates unease. Increase Unrest by 1.
Critical Failure As failure, but the fighting spills over into your kingdom before it resolves itself. Increase Unrest by 1d4 and two Ruins of your choice by 1.

Local DisasterEvent +0

Legacy Content

Dangerous Settlement 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 560
Location A randomly determined settlement
A disaster strikes the settlement, be it fire, flooding, earthquakes, an architectural failure, or the like.
Kingdom Skill Industry; Leader Magister

Critical Success You prepared well for the disaster and the settlement survives intact and undamaged.
Success The settlement still functions despite the loss of some resources. During the next turn, reduce your Resource Dice total by 2.
Failure Several lots in the settlement are torn up, including at least one structure. Gain 1 Decay and place rubble into three lots of the PCs' choice in the settlement's Urban Grid. During the next turn, reduce your Resource Dice total by 4.
Critical Failure Destruction is widespread. Roll 1d6 and gain that number of points of Decay. Then select an equal number of adjacent blocks in your settlement and place rubble into one lot of your choice within each selected block. If a structure is in that lot, it's reduced to rubble. During the next turn, reduce your Resource Dice total by 6.
Special If this event occurs in a settlement with a cemetery, fewer resources are needed to properly honor those who die during the event. Halve all Resource Dice reductions created by this event.

Monster ActivityEvent +0

Legacy Content

Continuous Dangerous Hex-KM 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 560
Location A claimed hex chosen by the GM that isn't in the influence of a settlement
A monster, or even an entire group of monsters attacks the kingdom! Determine the encounter by rolling on the random encounter table for the Stolen Lands Zone that is the same level as the kingdom's level (see the Stolen Lands Zones table on page 45). If the kingdom is 20th level, roll on the Branthlend Mountains table (page 117) and apply the elite adjustments to the creatures.
Kingdom Skill Defense; Leader Ruler

Critical Success The monsters are slain or driven off without harm to your kingdom. Even better, an unexpected claim of treasure gained from the monster lair grants 1d4 Luxuries and 2 bonus Resource Dice on the next turn.
Success The monsters attack some of your citizens but are driven off before they do too much damage. The threat persists, and while fear continues to slowly spread, your kingdom suffers no physical damage at this time. Increase Unrest by 1.
Failure The monsters' rampage terrorizes the countryside and results in frightening rumors even in the heart of the kingdom's safest cities. The closest Farmland or Work Site to the monster's hex is destroyed. Gain 1d4 Unrest and 1 Decay.
Critical Failure As failure, but the monsters' assaults spread into the settlement closest to the monster's hex, spreading the danger they represent more and more through your kingdom.
If any of your settlement's borders aren't protected by water or a wall, or if the monster can fly or swim (as appropriate) across any of your protective borders, the monster enters the settlement and one structure chosen by the players is reduced to rubble. Gain 1d4 Unrest and 2 Decay.
Otherwise, the monsters' ability to harm the settlement is hampered by your defenses. Gain 1 Unrest and one of the settlement's walls is destroyed; uncheck it on your Urban Grid.
Resolution This event continues until you achieve a critical success on the check or until the PCs step in to track down and defeat the monster(s) themselves.

Monster HuntEvent +0

Legacy Content

Beneficial 
Source Kingmaker Companion Guide pg. 10
Nethys note: This event requires that Amiri is a companion.

After the PCs defeat the Beast at the end of Chapter 4, citizens in the kingdom who emulate Amiri revel in the triumph. Unless the PCs intervene, these eager citizens turn the Beast's hide into a massive rug and put it on display in the kingdom's largest tavern. From there, the hunger for monstrous trophies unfortunately continues to grow.

This event takes place at the end of the next Kingdom turn, as numerous eager adventurers who are fans of Amiri join together and scour the wilderness for another monster trophy to add to the tavern's growing collection.
Kingdom Skill Wilderness; Leader Warden

Critical Success The eager monster hunters confront and defeat a Huge (or larger) monster in the wilderness. The GM can determine the exact type of monster hunted down (but it shouldn't be a specific creature still awaiting discovery by the PCs in a hex encounter). Trophies from the monster are put on display in a tavern or other public building in the capital city. Gain one additional Fame or Infamy point (as appropriate) at the start of the next Kingdom turn and reduce Unrest by 1d6.
Success As critical success, but the monster hunters track down and slay a Large monster in the wilderness. Reduce Unrest by 1d4.
Failure The monster hunters fail in their attempt to hunt a creature, but the kingdom was, if only for a short while, distracted by the attempt. Reduce Unrest by 1.
Critical Failure The monster hunters confront a Huge (or larger) monster but fail to defeat it. Worse, the monster follows the surviving hunters back home and attacks the kingdom's capital city! Increase Unrest by 1d4 and one Ruin of the players' choice by 1. The monster then retreats to the wilderness, but it continues to be a danger. A Monster Activity event automatically takes place during the next Kingdom turn as this creature continues to threaten the region.

Natural DisasterEvent +2

Legacy Content

Dangerous 
Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 561
A natural cataclysm such as a wildfire, devastating weather, earthquake, or flood (as determined by the GM) devastates your kingdom. While in a worst-case scenario the disaster's immediate and most destructive effects affect a single settlement, many of its effects are larger in scope and can affect the entire kingdom.
Kingdom Skill Wilderness; Leader Magister

Critical Success You prepared well for the disaster. While disruptive, the damage is minimized.
Success Your quick response keeps your people safe and allows you to recover quickly. During the next turn, reduce your Resource Dice total by 4.
Failure The disaster causes severe damage. Choose one claimed hex in which you have a Farmland or Work Site; that feature is destroyed. Gain 1 Decay and 1d6 Unrest. During the next turn, reduce your Resource Dice total by 6.
Critical Failure Multiple hexes are totally devastated. Choose 1d6 claimed hexes in which you have Farmlands or Work Sites; those features are destroyed. Gain 1 Decay for each hex affected, and gain 2d6 Unrest. In addition, one settlement of your choice is particularly hard hit; that settlement immediately suffers the effects of a Local Disaster. During the next turn, reduce your Resource Dice total by 8.

Location A settlement that includes at least one mansion or noble villa. If there are no settlements in the kingdom with these structures, this event doesn't occur.
A noble family or wealthy benefactor offers to build an improvement to beautify the settlement.
Kingdom Skill Arts; Leader Viceroy

Critical Success The nobles build a monument and a park in lots of the players' choice at no expense to the kingdom (the Build Structure activity is not required).
Success The nobles pay the RP and Commodity cost of either a monument or a park, provided the party uses the Civic activity granted by this settlement in the next Kingdom turn to Build the Structure. The Build Structure check automatically succeeds.
Failure Although the nobles had good intentions, bickering among individual aristocrats ultimately prevents the project from ever taking place.
Critical Failure As failure, but the bickering persists. Gain 1 Unrest and attempt a DC 11 flat check. On a failure, your kingdom suffers a Feud event on the next turn's Event phase (in addition to any other event).

Special If the plague strikes a settlement that has no dumps, filth in the streets allows the disease to spread more easily. You take a –4 item penalty to checks to resolve this event.

Adventurers from outside of your kingdom discover a cache of rare and unusual treasures while exploring wilderness claimed by your nation.

Failure The criminal succeeds in their crime and escapes justice. Increase Unrest by 1d4 and Crime by 1.

Beneficial 
Source Kingmaker Companion Guide pg. 54
This event takes place on the one Kingdom Turn after the turn during which the PCs build their first printing house. Access to the printing press allows for the production of an initially modest weekly flyer that gathers news and presents stories of interest. Over time, this flyer grows in size, potentially becoming something akin to a local newspaper, but only if your printing house can keep up with the demand.

While it doesn't directly impact the effects of this event, you should encourage your players to come up with a fun name for their kingdom's paper. If they leave it up to Linzi, she decides to go with “The Stolen Times.”
Kingdom Skill Industry; Leader Counselor

Critical Success You gain access to the Read All About It leadership activity. More importantly, your industrious editors prove to be more than up to the task of keeping the presses running, and the people of the kingdom take to the new paper with delight.
