Construction on the Nars
-
*The crafter and farmer simply known as Z, spends many long hours helping with the construction.
Not one to stand around and "supervise" he gets involved with any and all aspects of the project.
Most importantly (to some), he provides the ale at the end of the day!*
Cheers!
Z

just shakes her head and give him a sad look

Gloinus downs an ale, burping before answering back:
"Eh. Meat be meat be meat. Them ogres be fat too. Like giant pigs!"

The smelly dwarf Gloinus grumbles while hauling stone
"Ogres? Workin' with ogres? Should cut 'im up fer food, that's whot we should do!"
Marty shudders
Eww … that's just ... nar let's not do that.
Seriously?

_A common sight among the workers as the construction continues, Rasuil busies himself in aiding with the sturdy wooden framework and prepping rope rigging's as the structure grows. While he's often found on site early and well into the evening, the small hours find him surveying the surrounding lands themselves, monitoring the effects of the construction on the local wildlife before retreating into his own Den opposite the crossroads.
As the warning shout rings out, he perks his ears back though his only reaction otherwise seems to be busting a gut laughing as the crew scurries about like cockroaches when the lights are turned on. Striding through the ranks after he composes himself once more to give the ogre a once over, nodding with approval._
Well, I did say ta announce ahead o' time, so this 'd go a lil smoother.. heh.. but I guess, no harm no foul, eh?
Waving at the onlooking guards and gesturing to the ogres sack absently
C'mon big fella, stop yer grinnin' an' grab yer linen, this tower ain't gonna erect itself, mm? We'll set ye up o'er 'ere, an' we cin find ye a place where yer talents 'll be best put ta use.
He gestures over his shoulder for Kanoro to follow him as he heads back to one of the workstations scattered about the field, where he helps him to establish himself among the crew before the ranger returns to his own efforts.

to the folks who became combat ready at the sight of the ogre
Relax folks. This one gave himself up. Made a pretty sweet deal so we'd let him live. I'm pretty sure he's mostly harmless.
quietly
Pretty sure. Keep your eyes open though.

_General Theaon tells the Legionnaires helping the Union members to remain calm in the presence of the ogre. He does however tell one of his archers in the distance to keep an eye on the ogre.
Brumir looks rather uncomfortable working nearby the ogre. While he is still productive in his work, he doesn't take his eyes of the ogre._
-
Mathias jumps at the word of Ogre, his blade and shield drawn as he dropped his smithing hammer and he moves to Beorns side awaiting orders, the flames on his sword lick the air as his shield lights up the potential battle field. His stance remains ready for a fight and never leaving the ogre regardless of what the beast drops.
Eilonna looks up from her work as she hears the shout and rushes to the treeline jumping into the shadows as she moves through the trees invisible to the normal eye. Choosing her shot carefully she holds and waits for it to either show signs of aggression, or the decision to kill it to be made. One way or another, she is more then ready.
-
Marty mutters something about "letting it live" and "bad idea"
-
Alvaniel is spotted helping move stones for the mason's, bringing water and ale to the workers as well as food. She also helps clean up each day after the work is done.
She eyes Kanoro and says "All strong arms are more than welcome."
She has also set up a tent for herself to stay close to the activities and to help if any trouble arises and to offer help when needed.
-
_Beorn Battlemail wakes up to an early risen Z and pours ale into their steins from a large jug as he nods in greeting. He tugs at his beard as he looks over the construct, eyeing every detail and nodding in approval between gulps of ale. After tying his thinning hair behind his head and making a quick braid of his tangly beard, he straps his toolbelt over his keg of a belly and strides up to the slow forming tower with such spirit for work only a dwarf can appreciate.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his beady eyes, he sees a thick limbed creature lumbering towards the construction, a large hammer in its hand and a huge bag of clanking materials over it's shoulder._
"OGRE!!"
Legion and Union members quickly take up their steel and run to meet the sudden threat. As they get closer, the ogre simply stops in its tracks, showing no concern when he is surrounded by the points of a dozen steel blades and drawn bows. The ogre drops the bag to the ground, spilling several perfectly shaped iron nails from it.
"Yoo's Union? Me's Kanoro, me's here to help…"
The ogre looks over them, and when his eyes fall on the exquisite Union anvil brought out to the construction site, an innocent grin spreads across his thick ogre face.
-
Not being much of a stonemason, Albry spends the majority of her time hauling supplies from the Union Hall to the construction site, forming beams, smithing nails, and anything else her superiors ask of her.
-
Marty is occasionally present at the construction sight. When not simply keeping guard, she offers help in the form of the odd stoneshape spell, endurance and bulls str spells for the workers, and the creation of fresh water. She is usually only "passing through" though, either on her way to, or returning from the druid's grove to the south.
-
Myrhha sits on a high vantage point, eating apples, just watching and generally being less than helpful.
-
Eilonna is seen doing what ever she can to help out. Be it making carpets and rugs, helping with stone setting or forming up window bases. She also takes the time to serve out Legion Ales to all the workers present.

Captain Romulus stops by to look at all the activity and chat with General Theaon.
"Looks great!" he says. "I hope we're going to bring the library and all the pictures of the Troff Family from the Tower when we move in."
"Of course we will. If Maythor found out I left the picture of Mama Troff behind, you'd be known as General Romulus soon after."

Mathias is seen taking orders from Elessar or any of the masters and generally spends a good deal of time positioning stones, securing them, doing much of the heavy lifting, or if needed, running to get supplies or more ale for the masters. Often coated in sweat except for when it rains he is hardly seen away from the site and if he is, he is either sound asleep or gathering things for the others.
-
Thorak, not really skilled with the stoneshaping art, spends his time carrying materials where needed, aiding with heavy load work, and giving strengh and endurance spells to those that need or ask for it. He seems quite content to be doing this low-skill job though.
