Good uses of Time and Money…

Channel all money for soldiers or a private army through Selena since she has a keep and training grounds for them. Purchase temporary housing to increase the maximum number of allowable soldiers.
Channel all extra cash through Orla for maximum revenue. Have her trade caravans guarded by yourself or good hired NPCs so you don’t loose your investment to Kobolds or other Raiders. If you are using just NPCs to guard the goods, send more than just minions.
Channel all money for magical item purchases through Altair. He can decide how much to charge you for the item but it costs him just the list price in the players handbook to create any magical item up to his level.
All PCs should use some of their time to train soldiers at Selena’s fortress.
Before the end of the fourth month, channel some money into buying siege weapons to protect your people from large monsters. You might also want to buy the upgrade package for your Human Rabbles to make them slightly more effective minions.
