Aiding the Refugees
-
Late one evening, two figures approach the camp which the survivors of the Silver Valley call home. One, a pale elf, seems to be escorting a heavily-laden halfling clad all in green. The hin carries a large bag on each shoulder, packed to bursting with individually wrapped rations which each contain a half loaf of bread and a few strips of dried beef. While the rations are very basic indeed, there's simply so many of them that it should be enough to feed a small army.
The two figures, who identified themselves as Raryldor and Roslyn, stay for a few moments to chat with any hin who'd be in a mood to talk, before heading off on their way.
The next day, Roslyn returns to see how big of a dent the hin and gnomes had made in the supplies, and to see if there are any special requests that she could try to fulfill on her next trip down from Peltarch.

Arty makes himself available for heavy lifting, both in clean up and construction efforts, through his normal means of polymorph.

With the brazen, and wholly successful attack on the Kelemvorite temple, leaving it a smoking hole … Leena returns to the Legion and Hin camp, and asks how much more work can be done to get the foundation of a proper fortification in place to get some relative safety to stand up to another attack.
If possible, she'll start work with elementals to help finish the foundation and sublevels, and work large amounts of stoneshaping to get it done.
@e5bfe2a0b0:
[Level: Clr 3, Drd 3, Earth 3, Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Stone or stone object touched, up to 10 cu. ft. + 1 cu. ft./level
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You can form an existing piece of stone into any shape that suits your purpose. While it’s possible to make crude coffers, doors, and so forth with stone shape, fine detail isn’t possible. There is a 30% chance that any shape including moving parts simply doesn’t work.Arcane Material Component
Soft clay, which must be worked into roughly the desired shape of the stone object and then touched to the stone while the verbal component is uttered.]She can do 27 feet per casting, so 13.5 foot sections, 2 feet thick, at a time, can be done, with as much clay as can be provided. She'll buy, make, and send elementals for it constantly, water and earth ones as needed, to prepare the tremendous amounts necessary, if approved. 11 castings if she uses her extend slots too, per rest.
Following this offer from Leena, Roslyn moves through the encampment offering payment for any people willing to assist with collecting clay to be used in the stoneshaping. She also works her way through the camp, offering payment from her considerable funds to any able-bodied hin to assist with construction efforts.

Z finds Ros and offers his help. ((I'll find you IG))
-
Roslyn Underhill makes it known that she is currently seeking sources of stone as well as those with engineering expertise, with the stated goal of finally breaking ground on a new home for the hin and gnomes of the Silver Valley. Interested traders are advised to contact her at her tent in the camp, or by inquiring at the room she has rented out of the Dancing Mermaid Inn in Peltarch.
It seems even her nearly inexhaustible patience has worn thin, and she is no longer satisfied to wait for the end of the conflict in Jiyyd to blow over.
-
While the old refugee camp has been converted into a military one instead, Roslyn continues her visits to it. It seems she's begun training more shadow archers from among the recruits defending the cliff side.
In addition, word has it that she's delivered plans for a spike-throwing siege engine of Orcish design, etched onto a slab of stone.
-
Following a rather harrowing sequence of events, Roslyn Underhill turned up back at the camp again with a large shipment of food and libations for the refugees.
She did not, however, appear to be in a celebratory mood as she returned to her tent.
-
A while ago, a shipment of ores arrived on behalf of Roslyn Underhill to the camp. Thereafter, another, rather large shipment of swords, and other metal weaponry arrived to the camp on behalf of Ginger B Tealeaf.
Drem Janger approaches Roslyn and Ginger during their next visit to the camp with a grin and some pep in her step. "Hey there! We've just received your latest shipments. Thanks a LOT! This should be enough to cover what we need for now. I'm being told that we actually have more than we need, so I'd like to express my gratitude. You should come back in a few days."

Alvi and Z are sen having a conversation about what refugees needs the the need for a compromise…. the pair seemed to decide to overcome their business needs and work together to form a group that will search for the silver and other ore needed...
-
Ros has made another small delivery of food to the refugees, while making some offhand remarks to Drem about the trips she's taken with Z and Ginger, among others, to gather the metals needed for the camp's defenders.
-
_Roslyn has been seen meeting with Ginger and Drem several times of late, apparently regarding a request for ore, armor, and weapons for the Silver Dragoons.
Likely related to this, the two have been seen traveling in several large and heavily armed groups, leaving with their usual gear and returning with carts and crates full of freshly-mined ore.
It seems the hin are preparing to shore up their defenses!_
-
_Every so often when time allows, Narfell's first ever dire hin arrives with a delivery of fresh, assorted foods, contributing what he can to ensure no refugee goes hungry.
Upon request of the camp's very own Roslyn Underhill and Ginger Tealeaf, Arty spends some of his visits assisting in the logging movement, ranging from magically enhancing the workers' strength to ease their toils, to polymorphing into a massive bug to extract entire trees at a time. Of course, he gives fair warning to all the nearby guards to please, please not shoot or stab the insectoid._
-
True to her word, Ros shows up a few days later bearing a large amount of food for the camp, enough to hopefully mitigate the increased population!
-
Some days after a large group was seen passing the long road aboard Sticks's boat, they returned with a large group of hin as well as a few gnomes, who were all dropped off at the ferry post and led up to the refugee camp. According to Ros Underhill's account, these folk were slaves being forced to mine resources by the gnomish mage Gazuendheit, and the group managed to rescue them from their confines!
Ros promises to bring plenty of food on her next trip that way, knowing that the extra mouths to feed puts a strain on the camp's resources.
-
Ros Underhill, Leena Rayfe, and Artemis made a trek to the refugee camp a few days ago, bearing a positively obscene amount of general supplies for the refugees. They deposited roughly four times the amount of food in one trip that Ros usually brings down, leaving those living at the camp with ample supplies for the coming tendays!
-
Ginger Tealeaf is seen at the camp dropping off another load of foodstuffs. She stays visits and camps a while with her people before riding back into the Nars Pass on her sure-footed pony, Sugarfoot.
-
Another large donation of food is made by Ros Underhill and Ginger Tealeaf. The two are said to have both arrived at the camp carrying large, heavily-stuffed packs of food, before moving on to attempt to scout some nearby woods for suitable building materials to aid in the town's ongoing construction.
-
Alvi is seen dropping off yet another huge bag of freshly smoked meats for the refugees. She also drops off several proper sized winter wolf boots (seven actually and trashed at the legion Hall). She also drops off several large loads of maple wood for the workers who she applauds and offers ale and a brief respite from their tireless work.
-
Alvi is seen dropping off more freshly smoked meats, fish and fowl as well as some trinkets for the hinnish gem-setters to fiddle with.
"Might as well shine those pretties up and make a few coin for yourselves," she laughs with the jewelers. "You might as well start to fund some projects yourselves and thiis is a good way to get some coins built up."
-
_Word is that Roslyn Underhill has returned from another scouting trip deep into the hinterlands south of Norwick, where she searched for building materials that could be useful to the construction of the new Silver Valley.
A few days of resting sore limbs and a stiff back later, and she's back to her old self, eagerly setting off on new adventures!_
-
Ginger is seen dropping off several bundles of cooked, seasoned cuts of meat for the refugees. She also spends her time clearing part of the forest with the woodcutters.
