1) Perimeter Wall Plan

2) Bendir Dale's Layout Plan - http://www.amiaworld.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=81975

When Wilfire is not busy gathering the resources needed. He keeps thinking and making plannings on how to biuld the wall.

Somethings he draws... somethings he keeps on his mind. He's just trying his best to make a very good work.
A work that made him very tired most of the time but he clearly enjoys doing!

Local stonemasons assess the quantity of building materials and sends a draft of what is needed:

(Assuming the wall is made only of stone)
400 batches of granite (i.e: 12,000 lbs)
400 batches of mortar (i.e: 4,200 lbs)

Estimated cost: 2,400,000 GP

Side note: sand and quicklime make mortar

Dear Angus/Kesselwort
As Bendir Dale's most beloved skilled craftsmen, i'd like to ask you about a few matters regarding our wall building project.

1) Dicey, one of our lumberjacks and carpenters, needs numbers for the ironwood. In terms of planks and logs, or both. This is for the three gates (Trolls, frontier and mylocks) of the proposed wall.

2) We'd also like to ask your clan for their help during the building process. I believe your clan's skills will be vital in leading the project. Please let me know what you think! Note that Wilfire, a skilled engineer and builder has all the granite and some of the mortar. He has also designed the construction plans for the wall. Perhaps with combined efforts the process will be efficient.

*Posters have been set around the Dale. One hanging by the inn, another outside the townhall, and another around the residential areas*

Poster!Dear Residents!
After periods of careful planning, gathering resources and trade, now is the time to build the wall. Hopefully, like the tower we worked together on during the war, we'll manage to bring our community spirit once more and fortify our defenses. By the end of this project you should expect to see a unified and safer Dale, defending ourselves from the dangers of the trolls, frontier orcs, kobolds and goblins, as well as the mylocks.

This wall will coincide with the proposed layout, a step closer of not feeling cooped up in your own walls. Soon you will safely be able to roam around in our much open and expanded land.

This is a call for volunteers. Please help out where you can, once it all begins!

~ Rosary

*Posters have been put up around the Dale*

Another Poster The implementation of the perimeter wall will begin on the 6th Kythorn. We'll start with the south whilst we have most of the materials to cover this, as well as the other sides of the wall. In the mean time, please rest yourselves and prepare for this day. There will be a few guests who will assist us.

~Rosary

*Early in the morning Rosary would go around bugging the residents, helping clans organize and prepare for the day. She'd ask around for any spare equipment and pass them along to those missing anything. Later, the enthusiastic Hin went on a walk*

// This will start soon-ish (30 mins or so) from now!

And the construction has begun!
Wilfire alongside the Mayor, the Citizens of the Dale and other good helpers from the island, begin to dig in for the basis of the construction! its foundation!

Even after the recent incident, Wilfire keeps on the work (alone if need be if none of the volunteers are allowed to leave) for a long time until he was completely exhausted then he head back inside for a long night of sleep.

Having helped dug a trench, this seemed enough for Rosary during the first day! Instead she would continue to supply fresh snacks everyday, mostly food provided by Bemmi and Fendel, to the workers as the construction begins. She'd keep a sharp check to make sure the working residents were comfortable, having their breaks and rested when needed. If they had any questions, Rosary would simply ask the residents to follow Willy's lead and talk to him about it. Otherwise, she'd continue to advertise and gather as many volunteers during workdays.

Aaric spent the whole night working away on digging the trench while being entertained by Daisy, Kira and Shaele. He pushed through until the section on the south entrance to the frontier was completed, taking the occasional water break assisted by the briliant, beautiful and charming Daisy, the official water officer.

*Tacked with the other building notes, written with square looking dwarven letters, in common.*

To Project Leaders:
It seems I am cursed never to meet Mister Willfire in person, I will try to pass my stone onto Mister Quickshanks. If nobody is available to take it, then I will resort to the paperwork in the mayors office!

Please note I have been adding some supplies to your settlement's fund, and will continue to cut limestone for this project as able.

Tagnar has mentioned his services as a refiner will be available to cook the limestone into quicklime from the final stock pile, so I shall continue to deliver raw limestone as often as I can, with what mortar I manage to mix between trips.

Could someone please contact me regards how much more sand and limestone will be required to meet the loads needed for your walls?

Regards,
Frór

*Two notes are left*

Dear fellow workers,

Now that the section on the same height level on the south was completed, we have to decide if we will move up the hill eastwards, or go down the hill westwards. Going west will require the removal of some trees.
~Willfire

Mister Frór,

Thanks for helping on gathering supplies. Being able to cut limestone tells me you most be a very skilled Stonemason. I have a significant supply of Limestone already, what i've been lacking is Sand.
Could you please gather some by Sandy Beach and by the sea on the same spot close to Wharfttown where you get the Limestone?

Thanks again
~Wilfire

PS.: Will try to meet you as soon as possible!

I think it'll be a good idea to move up the hill eastwards. From the perimeter wall plan, it was decided that the trees would stay there. The natural thickness of the trees/small forest already provides us protection so the wall will skip that and continue over. Plans could still change but for now going eastwards is a better idea.

~Rosary

Wilfire would find a dwarven mason's mark stamped on his note, as Frór confirmed the work required. He notes he will continue with massing supplies this evening.

// Small thing I am working on. Hope you all enjoy

Wilfire keeps on the intense work on digging all the necessary foundations on all the construction perimeter. A Work that would likely take weeks but by being the energetic Copper Hin he is, he won't give up!

He is a very skilled stonemason and he is really okay! He will spend all this time sleeping all night and working all day!

Aaric would pop-in as much as possible to assist Wilfire with the digging. He would especially try to work with Will in shifts to allow Will to rest and not let the digging stop.

Candle is back from her retreat, and when she can, follows Aaric about helping with construction. When she is not able to help directly with the work she is seen going to and from the Inn, providing refreshments to the men.

It's been some time since the construction of the foundations had began.

Willfire and all the folk helping on it, keep on the hard work. The digging for the foundations going from the road to up the hill heading towards the east almost completed.

Willfire allows himself to take a break now and then. Mostly spending sometime with his family

After a month of hard work, the foundations going east from the road to up the hills then past the passage to the Trolls and then north till the river would be completed.

Preparations are being done for it to begin heading westwards from the road.

The foundations to the west are ready and moving a good way towards south. Soon it will be ready and the wall can begin to go up!

Stone and Mortar moving all along the scaffolding that are ready for the construction. Its hard work but Willy and the other workers keep going on it daily as they all know it will surely greatly help to make every Hin to stay safer.

Rosary continues to check on the works. She would be serving the workers with a collection of newly invented fruit drinks. Although not built for working in such a construction, the young mayor passes on any tools needed to the builders and helps out with the simple errands.

A long month almost passed and construction keep going on and on.

Wilfire's work alongside the other builders makes it go past halfway by now.

He begins to worry if all the resources he had gathered will be enough... D
Due to the troubles that keep arising on the Dale he keeps thinking and planning if the Wall should be even more tougher or if additional towers will be needed

Another long month has passed as the construction kept going on and on....

Finally it would be too close to be completed. Only needing finishing touches and inspection.

*A notice has been put in the townhall notice board for residents to see*

Dear beloved residents of Bendir,
A few have asked me whether the project pitched by Nick to open the inner walls will happen. This won't be the case given our state and troubles forthcoming. Unless, during the next term, the idea has been brought back and agreed upon. So to conclude this project before the next Mayor takes the stand, I'd like to honour Wilfire and clan Bronzebeard for their hard work and effort during the process from structuring the landscape to accommodating the walls construction and architecture. Along side many who worked with the trading of different towns, moving them over into our town and the personal gathering of materials since. It's been nine months since the construction of Bendir's walls. Give yourselves a good rest, you've earned it.

~ Mayor Rosary

// Thanks for all in game efforts (you all know what you did) and patience of the module update with all the busy area 'dynamicamizing'. Which is why we couldn't have intermediate updates to show the progress throughout. But we went with the RP so kudos for that. Appreciations goes to Anatida for the design!
