Our town
Year 0.3
While constructing the mill, the towns people notes how cumbersome it is to move about in the height grass, dragging tools and materials.
And as such they start flattening the earth for small road systems, making the path more accessible.
While they do, the mayor finds time to meditate and pray.
"Gods above, again I seek your guidance, we are prospering as well as we can, but I feel i should do more, please lead my way"
Again, four voices responds.
The first voice says
"Defending your people is still important, you should let your best minds think of a plan to build a ballista, so you can shoot down any rafts or other crafts crossing the river."
A voice rings as the second god gives his advice
"A balista is a good idea, but complicated, they should study the blacksmiths bows as he makes them, since he has less iron than he would want, he should make more bows instead."
The third voice tones in
"But, do not let fear rule your people, you are successful and should celebrate, build a brewery or at least start brewing in large barrels, it will lift their spirits and mood!"
Lastly a the fourth voice comes trough
"If you wish to brew and make flour, you must have more crops. You should build a wind-powered device to help dragging water up from the well, that way you can build an irrigation network, making sure your crops always has the water they need. "
The mayor stands and thinks for a bit, then answers
"I'll put our best heads into the task of planning a ballista and a system for dragging water from the well, but I do not know if we can build such complicated constructions. time will tell.
A brewery could be set up in my house, it will take time to produce the barrels, but we can do it. And my son the Blacksmith and his apprentices are working hard on bows as we speak!"
And the towns people puts their hands to work.
The blacksmith produces 2 bows, and his apprentices helps the Mayors wife produce barrels for brewing. they are not done yet, but will be soon.
The two orcs has been seen spying on the workers again multiple times, a few nights ago a third joined them! This third orc was bigger than the others and carried both a bow and a big two-handed sword.
All who is able and has time train in the use of swords and bow, swinging sticks, wooden training swords and target practice.
