**Klik searches the forests silently. He notices a small mountainous region nearby and heads towards it for a closer look. Eyeing the peeks, which rise to only a few hundred feet high, he considers mines as expansion for the fortress later on. He thinks to himself, We could build mines and place bolt holes deep withen the rear hidden by rock... we could expand the mines eventually and use them as an escape route deep behind the forest. Of course we would need to recruite miners for that. Its a sound idea though... a good tone of thought which could be used for expansion. Ahh... to expand we need something to expand on. He notices a gap withen the mountains roughly 1000x450 feet. Only a well trained guess, mind you. He walks along a parimeter where the walls would be. He marks each corner with a stick and marks the tips with red paint ground up finely by red pepper and clay with water. At the rear he leaves space for a small area for farming and the like... He stops and gets an idea: we could build a tower on the peek of the mountain... if only there was a way to get stone up there to support its weight. Could be potentially more dangerous then beneficial. Shrugging it off he intercepts Kinnan while on his duties and shows him about the site with Jask to see if his find and ideas are to their liking. Often enough, he looks to Jask, knowing he has experience in carpentry and probably a few other useful talents, to see if some of the ideas can be implimented or not.**

**Appraises the area...** Casey and Rio 01:33:18 03/19/03 Wed

**Kinnan smiles at Riasa and touches her shoulder. His bass voice rumbles as he speaks to her** It is good to be home again. Thank you. **He turns and nods in Casey's direction, smiling to see Rio still tagging behind** I'll be there in a bit. **Kinnan turns back to Klik expectantly as the wolf seemed to wish to speak** (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 10:32:10 03/19/03 Wed

**She returns Kinnan's smile for a brief moment and then watches idly as he makes his way over to Klik. At the moment she is seated in the centre of the marked rectangle, she had been pondering the construction for awhile. Sitting there she wishes that there was more she could contribute. Whilst she had stayed in Forts and Castles before it had never been for an extended period of time. She was a beast of the forest, so she had to admit to herself that she knew little of building a fortification. Her mind was more tuned to the natural defences of the land as opposed to the ones that could be created with cut wood and stone.** Riasa Lafaryl 22:58:12 03/22/03 Sat

**Listens**>> -- Casey, 05:27:32 03/23/03 Sun

*The otter enters camp...with amouse following. Jask Shell of the Flowing Water clan 13:01:52 03/23/03 Sun

**The massive wolf eyes Jask for a moment, then speaks in his rumbling bass** We're not making a mess, we're making a fort. **He steps in an easy circle around Jask, taking in his entire apparel** Let me see, let me see. I believe I hired you, did I not? Do you forget your commander so easily? **Kinnan's eyes are not hard, rather a tiny smile is playing at the corners of his mouth. He is not angry, simply amused** (NT) -- Kinnan Ulfe, 17:58:30 03/23/03 Sun

**Klik shakes his head slightly and looks to Jask. "My friend... this is Kinnan Ulfe... Commander of the Quanshaire..." *Klik chuckles a bit and looks towards Kinnan* "Kinnan you mustnt forget how long you've been gone... there are very few of us left and those who are left feel everything has changed around here. Forgive his ignorance in the matter, m'lord, you've been gone too long. As for the fortress... I layed out some markers where I suggest the ramparts be built around. Of course, this isn't specific... but if we ever want to take on bigger jobs... we will need somewhere to defend. Also, I am sure that Vermin Queen might return with her armies to repay me for the gashes I left upon her decrepit body... Anyway, I have a mission to Nightshade to complete from the hare Casey and I met earlier... so if you'll excuse me."** (NT) -- Klik Redwolf, 22:55:08 03/23/03 Sun
*Smiling and shaking his head, Jask bows slightly and re-offers his left paw.*"My apologies. It has been a while since I last saw you."*Looking to Kilk, Jask nods his head.*"Aye I can see that. I might have some suggestions on how to improve it. I'll try and come up with a few drawings for your approval."*As Kilk excueses himself, it takes a Jask a moment to understand what his friend just said.*"Um, Kilk did you say Nightshade?" (NT) -- Jask Shell of the Flowing Water clan, 13:57:19 03/24/03 Mon

*Takes Jask's paw and gives it a good shake* Good to see you again, Jask. It's been too long... *He sighs deeply and watches Klik stalking off* (NT) Kinnan 06:41:32 03/25/03 Tue
