Imre finally puts up his tower. Much scrolling. Mr. Floaty, Imre's tower is finally done.

We all get a tour of Winter Wind Tower. (Called Titanic in Rhaya.)

Alynna's Speech to the Masses (184 Public Speaking):

"People ot Santa Vallandra, this tower demonstrates the might and power of the great Imre! This tower will serve for the better protection and enhancement for your city and insipire fear in your enemies. The great strength of Imre can be seen in this mighyt structure and know ye that he built it in one day, and no drop of sweat fell from his brow. Behold the might of Imre!"

We sail on through the night and arrive at Bokpentok with the dawn.

We travel to the university site where there are now a couple of two story buildings and the makings of a fine little town. The biggest buildings are the Guilded Rose and the Flying Skirt. Construction is theoretically on schedule. The local economy is improving.

Imre gives a tour to some of the engineering students.

To Orian. For a brief moment we see the flag of the Brotherhood flying over Votania, but then clouds obscure it again.

We invite Citizen Trask up to the tower for a tour. He suggests that we might be able to buy off Lord Dennys at some point. We head to the conference room. Trask says that Joe and Bob are members of the Sarnaki resistance. They want help to overthrow the women in charge of Sarnak in exchange for joining the empire.

We scout Votania. They have anti-air batteries set up and stuff like that. We hate those guys.

We get back to Santa Vallandra. Haeraan's Rianne guys are investigating the supply depots that Ardania set up in Nuyom Kom for vulnerabilites. They suggest that we investigate further.

We fuss about plans for a long time.

We send Nimble and Whisper to Sarnak.

We head to NK to check it out. They tend to be isolated (not near towns) with a 500' clearing around each one. They've got signal fires on top etc. There are patrol ships going up and down the coast. They're all within a 1/4 mile of the water.

We overfly the place at 2500'. It looks pretty quiet. There are low wooden building on the inside of the wall at the corners. In one corner is some sort of manufacturing facility. From 2500' the place in the corner is a blacksmith. There are trap doors on the roofs, with ladders leading up to the walkways along the inside of the walls. There are plenty of people walking around inside. The front portucullis is up by default and the rear is down by default. On the corners are mounted light ballistas on stands. On the center tower are some catapults. The forts are all from the same branch of the service but are all run by a different company.

A contingent goes through each one once every couple of days with a resupply ship arrive at each one once a week.

We notice at once of the facilites a whole bunch of horse and carts are offloaded. These are moved in, loaded up and forma supply caravan that heads north.

Orhan 1 Day 15 TE 6065

We check for a while on one that's being built. They have mages that cast stuff and then birds come up and find us. Being invisible doesn't seem to work.

Orhan 1 Day 16 TE 6065

We watch from a ways away. They cast outer wards, send the birds around, cast on the inner building, then go inside the building, then come out later.

Orhan 1 Day 17 TE 6065

With a book of gates ritual, we determine that there's a two way portal underneath the buildings inside.
