Video: UN - JustD

[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.

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.]

[distant_one]

The true nature of this conflict we're caught up in makes it less fighting on two fronts than it would be if we faced a completely external enemy.

I could also recite some stories that caution against putting all your eggs in one basket.

[threelayers]

Oh, those delightful little curses?
Yeah, I definitely had to get used to those too, but hopefully they're not too much over there.
Last thing the outpost needs is a curse.

Agreed. And Trench is a big basket.

[distant_one]

With a small number of people it's easier to manage than a full city.

At the very least having a second basket will help.

This metaphor is going to break down when I suggest powdering eggs for long term storage.

[threelayers]

You're going to give the Pthumerians ideas, haha.

And yeah, I'm sure it's theoretically easier to protect a small location if you have enough strength.
I'll make sure to stop by and give some blood, since I know I can spare a little.

Honestly better than the Luminarium.

[distant_one]

At least adding water won't be a problem even if it comes out a bit salty.

Thank you for helping.

[threelayers]

Thanks for finding new baskets in case someone lights this one on fire.
I'll see you guys pretty soon.

[distant_one]

I'll see you then.
