Roight, time for a turn.
Mini-event: Apologise for the actions of the nekos and avians. State that we ourselves, are somewhat vulnerable and are twitchy. He had hoped that he could have made contact earlier, but realises he may have looked intimidating to 3 watchers.
Ask if there is a preference to the burial of the bodies, or if he'd like to find a way to bring the two bodies back with him for a burial back home. If the latter, provide the means to allow him to (see below). Also mention that it will be likely that these raiders will become a problem for both of them, and suggests keeping in touch with each other. If nothing else, a friendly neighbour being attacked is bad.
Now for turn:
Fishers will smoke all the meat the camp has before fishing (if they have time). They then fish and smoke (the fish that is).
Lumberjacks build some dragcarts. (2 long sticks that have a sheet of leather between then tied by rope. Person holds on one end and drags it with items on the leather. Reason for not an actual cart: I imagine the terrain might be a bit rugged, making a wheel may be outwith what we have and it'd be VERY difficult to fjord a cart.) Lumberjacks then go about cutting trees and bringing back lumber to the camp.
Gatherers and Orchadeers see about helping the granary/root cellar build (was totally gonna make that this turn XD)
4 Builders begin the building of the Commune. This is a house set to house 50 people comfortably, 100 crowded. A largeish area is dug a metre deep, lined with stones and rocks, in a circle. The spare dirt is then used to complete the wall another meter high (or meter and a half, I'm just guessing) and reinforced with wooden stakes. Stones are then placed into this dirt aswell. Wooden beams cross the top at regular intervals, before it is covered with straw/seaweed/leather/whatever to make it waterproof. If the material used is light, it is held down by rope.
Build as many as we can, and get 2/3's of the unengaged spare population to help.
4 Builders build shields. These are rectangular, about a meter high and half as wide. They are made with smaller half-logs tied together with rope, along with two half logs on the back running along the shield to add rigidity. It is held with a wooden grip made from a 'u' shaped piece of wood glued into place with tied rope and animal glue (This game makes me look stuff up: Animal glue is gained through prolonged boiling of animal connective tissue. Horses were the most common animal for this, but rabbits and fish were others.). Get the last third of the unengaged population to help.
No they don't. 4 Builders build Squad Shields. These are 2 meter high, 4 meter wide half-log shields, held together in the same way a shield is, but with half-log stands underneath so that it can be placed upright. It is lifted by 4 to 5 people by wooden handles held in place by animal glue and rope. Idea is one half of squad lifts, the other half follows. Once close enough to melee, they drop said shield and fight. Get the last third of spare unengaged population to help.
If someone could somehow invent the saw, oh man, would that be useful. Could you make stone saws?
Sorry for the large turn, Ash XD. I've kinda got really into this...
