I might be able to start picking up the pace on doing these turns again. I'm sorry for letting the mission drag like this you guys.
Drag bruford with us, I guess.
Freddie looks at the mountain of iron that is Bruford. His opinions as to transporting Bruford remain unknown, as he's still obviously elated from getting to fly again.
I guess if Vlad dares to try and drag Bruford himself then I might as well try to help...if he needs it of course
I have no interest in this matter. I'm just gonna hide from the cold until something interests me.
Try and use clockwork magic to slightly manipulate either the gravity working on bruford, or the traction of his feet to help him get up the mountain. If neither of those work, just shrug and follow the group.
Alright, Though RGU hasn't posted in a while, I'm gonna assume he will possibly want back in, so we'll try to get him along with the group. First, Clunkers' attempt to lighten the load, as it were: (1) Clunkers stops casting pretty quickly, on account of the weird way the mountainside starts groaning when he tries to alter Bruford's gravity. Now, Bruford is huge, so even the four or five of you pulling together is not gonna be enough to drag him to the beta site, so we'll leave hm there for now. the base workers suggest that they can come bak later and attempt to rig up a harness so the yakthings can pull him along.
Meanwhile, you all trudge along to the beta site, which, as you look at it, seems like a far better place for a base camp than the Alpha site was. it's wider, in a nice dell instead of a ragged valley, and the slopes around are gentler. Before yu ask about this, the camp lead volunteers the info on why the other site was preferred: "it's not the site, it's the route. Gets more rugged up this path, y'see. Once outta the dell and up the slope, you start hitting rockier terrain, n' some unsteady footing. Not that any footing up here is great, mind. But the other path is more consistent.
It takes a couple days for everything to get set up at the base camp. Your supplies are labeled and double-checked, a snowstorm deposits about four inches of powder on top of everything, and the sky turns a brilliant clear blue. "Looks like it's about time for you lot to get headed up. We should have the supply chain established before you get back from the build site."
