Second Scouting
Trip to the New Smithcraft Hall Site
March 4,
1999
Forest
A shaded trail meanders through the tropical
forest. Wind rustles the leaves of the trees above, casting sun-dapples
around the forest floor. You hear the occasional cry of wild
firelizards, echoing through the trees.
The area is thickly forested with many ging
trees.
It is a winter evening. Stars emerge amid
the clouds, and the gentle breeze rustles leaves and grasses.
It is a lovely night. To the east, the twin moons peek above
the horizon.
Evan and Cera are here.
Obvious exits:
Hold Valley Camp
You stand among the shade of the trees.
Cera huffs and puffs as she moves through
the forest, pausing she looks at Paric, "Do you have any
idea?"
Paric smles and looks about the area. "I
believe that it over there...through the trees..." he says
moving off the trail and pushing some branches out of the way.
"Yea...over there."
Cera nods and moves in behind Paric, following
his lead, "Are you sure.." looking warily at where
he is going.
Evan follows, deftly making his way between
the trees.
Paric glances back and nods as he slowly moves
through the brush. "Yes...you can hear the stream ...."
As he makes his way through the trees and brush he discovers
the small clearing that Agrajag found earlier. "Yes....I
believe that this is it."
Crespa suddenly disappears ::between::!
Evan nods and begins looking about. "Well...
not too much underbrush." he comments.
Cera chukcles, brushing some of her bangs
out of her face, she looks around, "Hmm.."
Paric smiles and rubs the back of his neck.
"Yea... that will make it easier when we have to clear away
the vegetation. Though we still will have a lot of work to do."
Cera gazes up at the sky.
Evan bends down to examine the soil, "Anyone
checked to see how deep the bedrock is?"
Paric shakes his head, "Nope...we'll
have to bring out a survey crew to take a look at it before we
finalize the plans on the new hall."
Evan nods to Paric, and looks around, "You're
right... it's not quite level, but close enough."
Paric nods.
Cera wanders off to look at some trees.
Gaederon walks in from the valley.
Evan examines the trees, "Well, some
of these should be useable>"
OOC: Cera says "brb"
Cera gracefully moves out of the forest for
the valley.
Paric nods and smiles ,"Yes... I'm sure
that we'll make use of it all."
Gaederon gazes up at the sky.
Paric begins to pace off the area to get an
idea of whether the information he had was correct.
Gaederon walks out.
Evan continues to look around, muttering to
himself
Evan hrrms, "Looks possible... if Charis
will grant us the land."
Paric nods in agreement as he attempts to
roughly estimate the size of the clearing. Glancing over at Evan,
"Yes... I guess we should approach her and ask then."
Evan raises a brow, "'we?' This is your
idea, remember.
Paric chuckles and shakes his head. "Yes...it
is. I'll approach Charis about it. I'll even drag Cera along,
too."
Evan nods, "Good. IF we get permission
let me know, and I'll go with you to haggle with Hether."
Evan says, "And if we don't, let me know
so that I can go argue with Charis.""
Paric smiles and nods, "Yes... I'll tell
you what Charis says..."
Evan nods, "Good." He then continues
looking around.
Evan finishes looking around, "Well,
I think you may have something here. We'll need to sit down and
go over the plans... but you may have something indeed."
Paric rubs his chin and nods in agreement.
"I'll talk with Charis and get a team down here to do a
survey of the site and we'll go from there. Should be a great
improvement."
Evan snorts, "Anything is over what we
have now."
Paric chuckles and nods, "Very true."
Evan goes home.
