The Build A City Thread 1.0

[Gamer Printshop]

Year 1, Month 13, Day 2

Almost every home had some level of repair, the fields flooded, but luckily the last were harvested a week before.

Brother Jeradah visited Kenndak to offer some healing to his bruised leg, when three zombies attacked the entrance of the Veterude hall. Dolf dispatched one with his great hammer, when Bros. Jeredah managed to turn the other two unto destruction. The last zombie corpse turned out to be the initially buried drunkard. Jeredah, through a speak with dead, learned his name was Aerod Plum with a troubled history. The priest laid him back into the grave, blessed it and placed a marker with his name on it, giving him proper honor and perhaps a final death.

Brother Aval was in a state of deep communion for much of the day to the consternation of Perita and others. At his awakening he began to furiously write the holy words, and rites important to his goddess.

That afternoon a family of fisherman came afoot on the River Road, begging for assistance as the storm took all they possessed. Zhakos TeDre, his wife Ohma and their lovely daughter Khara, a dark-skinned family from the West Isles, whose fishing boat struck the reef, throwing them all into the lagoon. They managed to reach the shore, but lost all else.

Kreb Vaal invited the family to stay with them, until better accomadations were available.

The village threw a celebration at the Blue Crab in the name of Brother Jeredah. He thanked them all, but declined to partake of the ale - drinking water only. They asked what they could offer him, Jeredah said, "Build me a school house that can serve as an infirmary, please."

Year 1, Month 13, Day 9
Wynston is forced to make use of his "badge" for the first time since being chosen, when the new town drunk gets physical with Gledna Ceng one evening as she's walking home.  Without the cells being completed yet, due to a slowdown on work after the storm, Wynston simply gives the man a good thwack on the head and chases him out of the village, but he decides that he will bring up the situation at the next meeting.

Dasdon and Rugin begin plans for a logging facility about 2 miles northeast of the village, well into Sharonn Forest's southern boundaries.  They believe this will be far enough away from Wynston's hunting lodge so as not to scare away game, but far enough into the forest to provided adequate lumber.  They have designed a mule-driven saw and several smaller units, and approach Doph about their construction.

Another family of refugees from the storm, two brother fishermen and their wives, make it to Para Bay, and ask for a place to stay.  They are the Dalesvin family, and bring with them a horse-drawn cart filled with several crates of brown-tipped tilapia, and also a small crate of strawberries that the wife had grown.  They offer these as price for a place to stay while they figure out what to do next.  They are offered one of the rooms in the inn.  

Perita and Brother Aval are busy preparing for the Autumn Equinox Festival.  They have talked Nora into cooking several of her crab cakes, and Wynston will be hosting an archery tournament.  That evening, beneath the stars, Brother Aval and Perita plan to open the shrine up with a small ceremony.  They only have six more days to prepare...

Year 1, Month 13, Day 15 - Autumnal Equinox Festival

As dawn comes, people begin to bring out makeshift tables and benches, crates of crab, fresh produce, and Nora's already renowned Para Bay Crab Cakes fresh from her ovens. Kenndak, with his limp gone ably moves a cart of his brother's best brews to date laughing in discussion with Bros. Jeredah, whom he is now fast friends.

The ladies of the hamlet were in groups gossiping, exchanging recipes, or family advice. The men equally discussed current events, issues for the hamlet board, or just how lovely the Dalesvin wives are.

Wynston took the first prize, though Graden proved a close second - the prize being a cask of Gastax XXX, Wynston proved his good heart by sharing it with all six contestants.

Everyone, even the newcomers were preparing for the days games - placing stuffed targets as arrow targets, the children were busy playing "Orcs and Borderguards", though not many were playing the side of the "orcs". The hamlet was buzzing. There were drinking contests, a song challenge between the Ceng siblings, an early evening dance. Even Kreb told bawdy fisherman's tales that caused suchgreat laughter, Elben nearly choked on a fishbone, except for the womenfolk covering their ears.

The day proved to be a celebration of survival, prosperity and hope, most of all everyone, even Bros Jeredah visited Celanta's shrine placed an offering of thanks and a moment of prayer. Although not intended to be solemn, everyone felt a sense of belonging in this place of power and fellowship.

Before the events were brought to an end, Brother Aval asked if the hamlet would make a collection of blankets, foodstuffs and other necessities, as well as Goskin's boat and helmsmanship to taking relief supplies up and down the coast. With the influx of storm refugees, the hamlet's fortune should be shared with the less fortunate. All agreed to donate something, even the newcomers, though they had little to give. Goskin would be taking the boat along with Brother Aval, Perita and several others to do some relief work.

This first Autumnal Equinox Festival was a complete success. Everyone went home with hope in their hearts.

Year 1, month 13  day 17
(Which to the 'VolkGara' (Mountain people), would be the Month of Memory, in the Fourth Year of the Broken Door)

Doph has thrown himself into the task of designing the saw for the mill.  He recomends either a stream driven unit or a wind driven unit.  The Volkgara of the Whiskanis use 2 windmills, and he and Kenndak are more used to the wind version with a pitman arm.  But the stream version will work better in the forest, and eventually, he says, you'll need the stream to bring more lumber.  Doph says he still needs til the end of the month until the Pastavol forge is relit, before he could start anything.  Late into the evening, Dasdon and Rugin sit with Doph and Kenndak over Gastax XXX,

Jormdak Goas Veterude, a middleaged dwarf from the Whiskandir mountains, and his two boyish daughters, Kimmie and Bittie, [note=the name]
Jormdak Goas Veterude means Jormdak of the Goas family of the Veterude clan, just like Doph Genir Veterude means Doph of the Genir family of the Veterude clan.[/note]arrive on the morning of the 16th.  Jormdak is a bit of a stormcloud, with black hair and a negative view, but the Goas have been 'underallied' with the Genirs for years, so if a large portion of the Genirs decide to stay in the Snarulo, it is the duty of some Goas to come to help them.  Jormdak is actually happy to get out of the oppressive Whskandir hive, since his family has been low-born for centuries.  Here, he is under only one family.  He respects Doph and served under Hull, so he is looking forward to a stay.
Kimmie and Bittie are young, and are happy to be reunited with Bixanna and Vexanna.
[note=Underallied]  A dwarven situation where one family owes a kind of fealty to another family, due to economic situation, deeds in war, etc.[/note]
Venndak has been busy as well.  He has been making nails, tools, the 6 'constable's whistles' are done, a frame for a sign on the Blue Crab, 80 serrated arow heads and 88 hunting arrow heasd.  Vaxanna has been in and out, enlarging the kiln near the new north entrance on Pastavol.

Year 1, Month 13, Day 24

The first snows have come into the coastal community. Quickly melting away with the noon sunshine, but the northern spirits are once again visiting the warmer southland coasts - a first winter for the hamlet.

Most of the construction projects are complete, while there's much to do for the lumber mill, a last minute rush of current building projects get underway hoping to beat the heavier snows to come.

The bakery was finished in time for Nora Bumfiedel to begin expermenting with a curious variety of mint species and honey to develope a honey mint cake or roll, for the winter solstice fest.

Brother Jeredah has begun teaching to basic education to 11 students of varying ages, including Graden the eldest in class, as he's eager to learn to read and write. Subjects include history, science, mathematics, logic - though most of his efforts for now is reading.

The storm relief boat finally returned to harbor having replaced its former cargo of necessities with 2 entire families and the tools of their livelihood - the Potters and the Thatchers (both names and occupations). Two other boats followed in within the hour including and estranged fisherman and crew who lost their homes while at sea and a fast sloop mercantile.

Brother Aval is thankful to his mistress, Celanta for the bounty to give beyond the cove.

Year 1, Month 14, Day 8

Jack caught a strange boy snooping around in his store. When he pressed the boy for what he was doing he admitted that he had run away from an orphanage and was really hungry. He adamantly refused to tell which orphanage he had ran away from though, and instead pleadingly asked jack if he could stay in Para Bay.

Jack for now has agreed to let him stay with him as long as he pulls his own weight by helping out with errands and chores. After a bit more pressing though the boy broke down and admitted he hadn't run away by himself.

Jack now has found himself looking after three young helpers (two young teenage boys and a girl of about 10). He plans on discussing the matter at the next meeting however since he feels that if they can find where the kids are from they should be sent back there.

Year 1, Month 14, Day 10

Nora Bumfiedels visits Jack and asks if he would allow the young orphan girl, Noni, could spend some time at the mill, working at the Bakery Ovens. Nora has no children, thus no apprentice to take on her trade. Jack insists that these children may not be staying in Para Bay for long, so an apprenticeship may not be viable. However, sending away one of the hungry mouths is not against Jack's thinking. Besides the thought of sweet cakes whenever she wants it, Noni pleads Jack to let her work at the bakery. So Nora got her apprentice.

Brother Jeredah insists that the children attend the village school at least half their days as education is of paramount importance. Against the children's pleas, Jack and Nora, said of course. And they were immediate sent to school.

The first crab cage is completed and Goskin and his men lower it into the bay, securing it fast on the rocky shore.

Fenster, daring to be different, begins to build his own a private mercantile portage on the small islet beside is barely erected shop-home, just beyond the cove mouth to the north.

Year 1, Month 14, Day 14

The orphans have made themselves quite useful and Jack can't help but smile when he sees his two new helpers plowing along with their chores. James and Corey he has discovered are apparently brothers and it shows in how they work together.

Noni is still staying at Jack's place and every night fills everyone's ears with stories about how great working at the bakery is. She brought in some of the food she has helped out on and the next time Jack sees Nora he can't help but exclaim that her new student is going to make an excellent baker.

All three children have also been attending Brother Jeredah's school. All three actually end up enjoying it very much. Especially the younger brother James who is apparently a natural at math.

Meanwhile Doph has managed to create the parts needed to begin construction of the mill works just in time for heavy snow to start falling. He hoped to have been done much earlier but problems with the forge had delayed him. He manages to deliver the parts to Dasdon and Rugin and apologizes for his tardiness in doing so. They however tell him it is fine, they are simply happy to have the parts. All three of them enjoy a bit of time over some Gastax XXX while the snows continue coming down in thick wet clumps, beginning to blanket the ground.

Year 1, Month 14, Day 15

The village wakes up to a sheet of ice covering the ground. Wynston is the first to notice this, as he slips and bruises his arm badly - possibly even breaking it. He is helped over to Aval Mallen who makes a sling for him and tells him to move his arm as little as possible.
As he is unable to hunt, Wynston sets up a few traps in the forest, hoping to still catch some game.

Year 1, month 14 day 20
(Which to the 'VolkGara' (Mountain people), would be the Month of Grey Ice, in the Fourth Year of the Broken Door)

Doph semds Jormdak and Kenndak with the plans for the stream-driven sawmill.  They have been told to help Dason and Rugin.  Jormdak growls a bit about it, but Kenndak is totally at peace working on this, and acts like he does not even notice the grumpy Jormdak.  

Doph also sends down 4 hogsheads of Gastax XXX and 12 kilderkin of Island Magic, as well as 3 kilderkin of Hopitup.

Venndak has made 6 shovels, 18 barrel hoops for the Hogheads.  and has fashioned 3 copper lanters with Doph's help.

A few people are surprised to notice that they miss the nightly drumming ferom the top of Pastavol while Kenndak is out building.

Year 1, Month 15, Day 2

After a heavy overnight snowfall most felt compelled to stay-in, but not the children. It was time for snowball fights, building snow trolls and snow angels. Nolan Valkalan's youngest daughter, Nedra was seen by her siblings speaking with an invisible child, as she told them and following it into the woods. After an hour of frantic searching the children came crying to their father and reported Nedra as missing.

Meanwhile, before the alarm was raised for hamlet to make a search, Dasdon and Rugin find the sawmill site in shambles, tools and casks of nails are spilled or missing. Rugin even twisted an ankle when he fell into a small covered pit just a foot deep. It was just then a beating cauldron by Jack on his front porch, like a bell to summon the hamlet folk for a new emergency.
