Kree  Got  up  Putting his   tunic around his neck...Belief  is taught?....   I  a fisherman prayed to a rock and tossed it in  the  river , and  recieved  a large catch?>. he would raise the  rock as a god..and forvere  more   do the  same...and? when the  rock did not   answer the call, he would  say, he is unworthy.... Byt  the Sisters of Luck?.... one cannot  deny them... for we see it  each and  everyday...  Eta and Netta. have aided me and mine..and  raely turned thier backs..... If   My  prayer  goes  unanswered,  it  is because....

 he winks and grins,..I was out of luck!

Jason shrugged and grinned at the Captain. Jason's old Captain had been right, Jason would fit in much better here. "Fate is fickle, but the Sisters are wise. May we continue to please them, Kree. I consider myself lucky to have met you."

  Kree gave him a slpa on the back  as  the moved to the  Food line,..and once  more?..  The Siste3rs have  proved my point!...

Yon Discourse tween Mistress Myranda anst Kree be about others perceptions oft the Crimson Arrows. If Thy opinion of the discourse be as Kree hath suggested, being others see us as gods; such be both erroneous anst pitiful. To perpetuate such a fallacy be foolishness. Master Orlin hath disregarded the point also, seeking to divert it from that point, to how others worship. The fact that others worship is, be to a degree ath he hath suggested personal, based upon what each hath personally learnt or hath been taught by the Divine.

  The  people   sat   and   ate, many moved off to the   shadows, or  to   small fires of thier own.

 The   MAin in had the  lower  floor  completed.. the  bar  was set up.. it wouldn't be long  before   Ale and  food  would flow.. the frame  was up for the second floor   that would have   a dozen decent sized  rooms.

 two smaller    Inns  would have  67  rooms  and a Common  room in the back...

 homes  were  getting worked on , much slower. Until the walls  were set.

After a pleasant even meal Myranda retires for the night.

 Relaxing  as the Nightly dinner went. Kree made the rounds of the  town with a  Mug of  wine, stopping at some fires  where some would refill  hi Cup  as he talked with them.

   Guards  were  set  in between  the great lanterns  that were set ever  20 yards, to make  those who spy on the town, harder to use your  night sight, and see those in the  Shadows , with the  lights  on either side.


  The towers    had   one archer  in as well

Before taking his rest Justin also patrolled the settlement's perimiter,

Niphre had seen illustrations of goblins before, but she had never seen such numbers of them, and it was quite astonishing. I wonder how nice they are, She thought, before sitting down and eating, enjoying the food greatly.

After finishing the dinner, she decided to patrol the settlement's perimeter herself, in case she spotted something that Justin and Kree might have missed.

Jason is resting against the newly built wall, smoking a cigar he rolled. Niphre can see him from plenty far off, but Jason pretends not to notice her until she has come within five feet.

"Walking to be alone? Or would you like some company?"

   Orland would drop by and speak with those he had worked with during the day. He seems genuinely concerned about their lives and where they were going from here .  Probably a residual of his place as a community leader with his people.

Justin was nearing the halfway point, of his patrol, pausing he momentarily scrutinized the area.

  Justin  can see  Kree  as he moves  from camp fire to  camp fire.  He stopped By a Lean-to  that had a hand painted sign.. " fletcher".

 Kree talked to the fellow.. he had a small   girl  and a boy that might  be a bit older.. the kids  were  carefully   sorting out    differant   feathers. Kree saw the man had  about  10 bundles of  arrows    carfully  tied in groups  of 12.

 He was  working on others  when  Kree  came. 'eh  Captain.. you doin' a walk around?

 ..Aye, More or less... we're leaving   in the morning for the LAnding Itself... how much   for you  Arrows?

 aw..co'or.. 2  silvers a Bundle.. another  5   coppers if ye wants them painted..But  fer you.. 1 silver ?

 ..Tell you what?... I'll take a Bundle... he hands  him 2  silvers.....Paint them Black.... he hands him another Silver...You have them ready for  when I leave , I'll add to that coin...

 ..we'll work right on it...we will.. thankee  Captain.. but..what if they aren't ready?

 ..then you keep  the coin I gave you... and  I will pick  them up, next time i pass this way...

 ..Roight!.. we'll do our Best.. won't   we  Kids?

 the  Girl was  already missing the   pain, and the  Boy was  setting up   brushes.....they's  good  Kids  Captain.. gonna out  do my work, when they get my age.... There mum, don't passed  as we traveled from Ironmound..came all the   way from  Mouri, we did....heard they can use    fletchers out here.. they weren't  wrong...

 With a Clap on the  fellow's  back.. kree   stopped Long enough  for  toss them each  2 coppers ,..that is your own... for  making sure  my arrows are done..

 He  winked at the Fletcher  who  smiled.. the man went to  pick up the ebst bundle he hand  and  began to  set them up on a little notched  table the  Boy used to paint.

Justin moved over to Kree and the Fletcher. Well met Captain anst Master Fletcher. he greeted giving the children a friendly smile. Pulling out a couple of sturdy darts he used Master Fletcher wouldst Thee be familiar with the making oft Darts oft this kind 

..aye..I have... when i worked in a shop in the city.. we had    feather  Flecthed  and leather   fletched..leathc was a bit mor eexpensive.. but  ye didn't need to  fix that all the   tip.

In reply to Merchants  Landing (msg # 159):

Excellent. Justin nodded grateful that the fletcher was familiar with the desigh Wouldst it be possible for Thee anst thy assistants to maketh two score for collection. One shall provideth three quarter the cost now anst the remainder anst a housing fee on collection.

 The  fellow looked a bit  worried.....well..Master  knight? I don't have  my hole  shop set up, as you can see.. might be a while fer me  ta get you 40 of these  made..

once i have the shop  set up  with  walls  and such.. i can trun them out a might faster...We can  see how many  we have  when you folks pass through again? I can't take yer  coin, with out knowin' i can have them made.

In reply to Merchants  Landing (msg # 161):

Aye Master Fletcher. Justin smiled One didst anticipate such, which be why One proposeth yon commission anst balance along with holding fee whenst One be able to collect Thy works.

 The  Boy looked up at his father and nodded his head.

 ..alright  Sir... then   we will draw up a parchamnt, so if anyhting happens  to me here..folks will  know  what ever  Darts I have  Put away, is yours.

In reply to Merchants  Landing (msg # 163):

Untill then may Eta guide Thee. Justin replies. Once the agreement is drawn up he pays the stated amount, and shakes the hands of those involved (father, son and daughter.)

Justin continues his patrol,  of the settlement's perimeter, breaking this task into segments where he stoped to survey the area looking for movement and listen for sounds of activity outside the settlement.

  with  little going on. Kree   returns to the   area  the Arrows  set up for thier  Camp.  Evening meals  where almost Done.

 The  elders  came over to talk  a bit.

 ..I hope  yer  travels  take  you swiftly to your  Goal, Captain... and with a Good outcome.

 The elf  relaxes a bit as well, sipping  from a  tankard of  wine.we hope  to have   the Walls finished when you return, you gave us a good helping hand.

 ..My people are good folk... except  when it comes to bad  folk.... the  confusing thein for some, are who  we label bad  folks  he sips his  own wine.

   Orlin looks up druids or other people versed in local plants and medicines

...........  Morning....

   After  washing up, and the group grabbing   some hot  stirabout from the cook fires..Kree  began to   buckle   his   belt on, then his  cloak,  with his pack over  top.  along with his  quiver.

 The  two elders  came over.......hope yer  travels  are good, Capt'm... and ye  find  those you seek....

  ..They won't  know we are coming  until we  reach the Trace Wood... then it  will be  too late....

  ..we look forward  for your  Next Visit.... and Thank you for  the chance  we have  given The Timber....

 his hand  waved to his people,..Thank them.... they  did  as much, if   not more then I.... and its  well past the time, The Timber  unshackled itself  from Tou and  the restrictions  they  made on our trade...And should   any Tou Envoys seek me out?... tell them to meet us in Ironmound about   2  ten-days from  now....

  He pulled his  Hood  up against the Morning chill, he stopped  by the   fletcher ,,  giving them  5  Gold , by way of a  bonus  for having the arrows  ready.

 Then.. a High pitched  Whistle, and waved his   folks  for the trek on the .. bark/and gravel road  the women and  children  who weren't  skilled workers  had  'paved'.

 ..Everyone, grab a bucket, so we can get  dump  some   rock chips    down the road  for them...

 about  3  miles  down the road, is where the  'paving' ended...  Kree would  set his   2  buckets down  for those  at the  end of the road.. , the 'windfall' of the extra  buckets  pleased those who   camped  out  to work  the road  as they  extended  towards  the landing

In reply to Merchants  Landing (msg # 168):

Justin grabbed two buckets securing them to a pole, for balance, which he rested over his shoulders. Holding the pole with one hand he lesd his horse with the other.
