Ch 2: Interior Facilities Slate, 250 Aemon, the Maester has taken back his self-composure and assess the progress of the outpost from last month. The human blood caked on his clothing makes him feel unclean that a bath with quality soap is much needed!
Aemon began to dabble in masonry to assist the hard working pair of builders Ms Miley and Darktari. The plain stone door made from rutile is set against a rough magnetite pillar. This purple door will serve as protection from the outside forces once a wooden roof is constructed above it.
The wagon outside still has some supplies awaiting for proper storage inside. The pair of yaks need to be pastured. Aemon decides to dabble in butchering, tanning, and leatherworking in hopes to design the workshops.
The food and drink supplies are getting low. Although the farm plots are lain ready, no planting has started because Tam is out in the blood rain gathering plants. Furthermore, the kitchen facilities still need constructing, and there are no spare food containers. Aemon is not about to dabble in carpentry, but dabbling in cooking, brewing, and threshing is in order as well.
Littlefinger mentions that bedrooms and dining area should be up in priority. Aemon then spends his time making shale furnitures.
While thinking about a proper bath with soap, Aemon makes a rutile quernm then dabble in mechanics for mechanisms to build a screw press. He continues dabble in other labors: stronecrafting to make shale jugs, then milling, pressing, potash making and eventually soap making.
Aemon patiently waits for word the builders to find a water source.
14th Slate, 250 An barn owl corpse swoops down from the bloody skies and attacks Tam interrupting his concentration in gathering hemp. Tam exclaims, “I will not just stand by. I will take revenge!” Tam hacks the owl in the upper body with his (copper battle axe), and gains distance in retreat back for reinforcements. As Tam nears the outpost, general alarm is raised with Wealth Securities, Jackwood Union, and the the tom cat coming out to assist.
The undead barn owl scratches the stray cat. But Littlefinger bashes with his (silver war hammer) severing parts of the owl’s upper leg, then finishes it with a kick in the head.
Littlefinger thinks, “An indoor garbage disposal may be of some importance sooner than later.”
16th Slate, 250 Two days later, the barn owl corpse reanimated among the fallen logs and attacks Hasani.
Hasani says, “I was attacked by the dead. This cannot horrify me” and proceeds to bash the upper leg which sails off in an arc. A final head crush with the (silver war hammer) stopped it from moving. “I laugh in the face of death!”
20th Slate, 250 Hasani is a dubious follower of Bot.
Broseph is a casual worshipper of Dakon Mothweb the Everlasting Maze/ who is a deity of The Paddles of Light, and most often takes the form of a female dwarf and is associated with fate. An osprey corpse flies down and begins attacking the scattering yaks. The squads are called to attack the menace and save the promise of yak roasts.
Broseph the Carpenter slaps the osprey corpse in the upper body with the flat of this (copper battle axe), to only cause bruising. He hacks with the next swing tearing muscles in the upper body.
Hasani is a few lengths behind charging at the osprey but ends up colliding with Broseph who is knocked over. But her momentum carried her forward for a well aimed bash crushing the osprey corpse in the head.
Broseph is horrified and annoyed at this conflict, but does not feel anything witnessing the death of the undead.
Hasani feels horrified and vengeful too, but she was more annoyed at having a drink without using a goblet.
24th Slate, 250 The Foggy Gem tavern is open to all residents. The shale furnishings, food and drink are on order. The goblets are on backorder still, but there is a large dance floor.
The kitchen facilities are set up, so two new job positions are made available:
Master Brewer, and
Master Chef.
Tam is returning from hemp gathering despite the blood rain and corpse attacks.
The front entrance is secured with a plain purple door.
Flesite, 250 Aemon, the Maester rises up from his slumber on the stone floor. The third month comes and there are still no beds ready for use so everyone sleeps on the dirt or stone where they lay. Private bedrooms are definitely put on the highest priority.
23rd Felsite, 250 Seven meager quarters are made available, each having a bed, shale door, shale cabinet, and shale coffer.
Two extra small rooms has four beds each to serve as dormitory.
Six pairs of shale tables and thrones are set in Foggy Gem tavern, but a shale coffer remains empty of goblets.
Littlefinger forbids Aemon from dabbling in metal crafting.
Aemon claims his meager office with a shale furnitures.
A mysterious scroll in hemp paper, “Interior Garbage Smasher (IGS)” Littlefinger produced an engineering plan for disposing refuse indoors without the miasma issues. The instructions are simple that the builders are able to follow it. Aemon even began to dabble in engraving to speed up the smoothing of walls.
The Interior Garbage Smasher (IGS) system is a work in progress.
The hemp clothing facilities are set so a job position is made open for
Master of Hemp.
Tam is interested in the resulting products but wants to pursue honing his martial skills with the Jackwood Union.
The leather works, glass furnace, and forge area are still under construction. So a probable job opening may become available too.
