[OOC: This is this month's network post for stuff relating to the Outpost Haven location/player plot]

[The video is once again made from the Staging Point in Crenshaw for Outpost operations. This time it's focused on drawings of the current state of the location; there's a blood ward at the outer wall line and a barrier ward around the bunk house and garden. The outer wall is complete except for the gate and the bunkhouse is complete and has places for a couple dozen people to sleep if they don't mind how close everything is.

There are dotted lines detailing the next phase of construction.]

We're working on making an outpost about thirty miles west of Trench. The outer wall is mostly complete and there's a place to sleep but not much else just yet.

I'm providing food and lodging either in town or out there to anyone who helps with the outpost project whether that's construction, fighting beasts, or providing other skills or materials. Any earth or stone related abilities will be very useful and I'll offer trade items for anyone willing to help with that.

In addition to the materials we're gathering so far there's a useful substance made from Vileblood, Darkblood, and Coldblood that can fuse stone together when applied to the surface of a stone wall or used as mortar so we'll be trading for blood as well.

Anyone interested can contact me here or come to the house decorated with banners in Crenshaw near the Watch Tower.

We'll get those done.

Priority for wall vs new construction with the new sealing salve?

[distant_one]

You and the construction crew have done a lot of good work.

Filtered: duty
New construction and the bunk house, I'm finalizing other arrangements for the wall that aren't viable for smaller structures.

Do you know how to work with wood nails or do I need to get more iron.

[martyrofduty]

We're a good team.

Filtered: JustD
Sounds good. It'll be easier to make progress on the new construction that way.

I've used them. Getting more critical difficult resources is fine. I can teach anyone who isn't familiar.

Hi, Mr. D.

I can help with constructing if it's something big, and I can give you a lot of Vileblood at once. It would be heavy pollution though, I think. That's my only worry.

[distant_one]

There's a lot of excavation to be done and trees to be moved. Help with that would be very useful.

We're taking measures to keep blood pollution and corruption in check.

[grice]

When would be a good time?

[faceblocks]

you can have my blood. its 💯 free of burning hell grog and will be for quite a while thanks to you.

[no plans to drink like that again for a very long time. hopefully never.]

[distant_one]

I think your blood might have been more alcoholic than beer by the time you stopped.

[faceblocks]

i think you might be right. i also think that might have killed me back home. an interesting upgrade, anyway.

The Outpost is starting to feel like it needs a moat. A drawbridge would probably be a lot of work, though.

[distant_one]

Keeping the moat from getting clogged with rotting beast corpses would be much more difficult than a drawbridge.

[ A hum. ]

Not if you have someone who could just order them to get out.

So, the little side project is actually moving forward.
I'm currently still watching the streets this month, since we seem to have more monster activity.
But I can probably spare a bit of blood for the project at the least.

Seriously, though.
Blood mortar? That is so Trench.

text; un: JustD

[distant_one]

It's not what I'd prefer, but manufacturing options here are much more limited.

Thank you for helping.

Re: text; un: JustD

[threelayers]

I'm not huge on the idea of fighting on two fronts, but if it pushes them back?
That I'm on board with, no question.

I just know a few cautionary tales about setting up outposts in the boonies to start over.
You guys probably want to stay very very careful.

[such plans universally went badly in Remnant.]

[ .. well. It's the first time Daniel is really hearing about this, as new and immediately busy as he has been ever since arriving here only a short while ago. And it's not that he thinks it's a bad project, but something about it does stand out enough to him to reply. ]

Is there no.. normal mortar in this place?

[ Does everything have to be weird and blood-related.

Does it really. ]

voice; un: JustD

[distant_one]

Normal mortar, yes. But not the kind that fuses stone blocks into a seamless or near-seamless structure.

We're a bit short on the manufacturing technology and supplies to make those.

[D's working with what he has here. He's still trying to find a good solution to plumbing and septic problems in the absence of organic matter reprocessing technology.]

I'm continuing to serve as a guard and a medic, though it's grown difficult: someone who mattered to me returned to the sea. And I have started to sense the pull of the sea myself. I suppose it's especially strong in Mariana's month.

If Vileblood is needed for the construction, I'd be willing to offer some of mine.

voice; un: JustD

[distant_one]

I'll keep that in mind, but it may be more helpful to have another person who knows how to collect blood and can mix this correctly during the day.

[D has taken to sleeping more during the day, something that he's less than thrilled about but he's the most logical person to guard the outpost at night.]

[hammerbearer]

I'll help with some of the blood donation. How did you even find out that substance even exists?

[ There is probably an implied 'ew' in those written words. But lately she's been less grossed out by blood-as-a-everyday-staple. ]

[distant_one]

Your ability to keep blood fresh will be very helpful.

It didn't exist.

[D and Left Hand have been looking into the physical and mystical properties of blood. And they had a head start from reading Viktor's research. It's not as complex as the bloodstone technology Viktor made but it's still useful.]

I suppose I should come help, shouldn't I?

[He knows for a fact he should given the risk D took going after the Emperor but Maul will be contrary as a feral cat to the very end of his days and this situation is no exception.]

Voice; un: justD

[distant_one]

Thinking about going back on your word?

[D sounds just as calm and uninterested as ever.]

voice | un: valravn

[warminded]

I can help with protection wherever you need me. It might be good to get out of the city for a while.

[And focus his efforts somewhere he might actually feel useful. Someone's not doing too hot.]

Voice; un: justD

[distant_one]

Both day shift and night shift could use more guards.

I run nights, Duty is in charge during the day.
