In the following months, Konczewski finally got around to marrying Lucy. They forgo any formal celebrations but Konc still demanded a wedding present from the craftsmen of the fortress. He recieved Lancertrusses, a mussel shell stuntsman's helmet.
Konczewski also tasks the miners with finding any and all metal ores they can, resulting in sections of wall being mined inside the fortress and a second cavern being breached.
Oh, and another child is born. Named Abba.
The animal trainer had gathered materials for hours before locking himself in the craftsman's workshop and now the door was finally opening. He walked out triumphantly, dragging a rather plain bone coffin out with him.
He threw his arms up in the air and said: "I have made Cleanwindy, The Ivory Urn."
Konczewski nodded to Lucy and she gestured to the security guards waiting nearby. They seized him and Lucy read the charges. "You are charged with wasting fortress resources. Specifically nine piles of bone, three gems, two logs and a tanned hide. The punishment for this is imprisonment for three months."
With a new election comes a new mayor, the demoman in charge of traps, but Konczewski keeps the mayor's quarters. Following some bribery, the new mayor orders the construction of an execution platform on the west wall for serious offenses.
Ahab went into the new well room to fill up his flask. It was good to see the thing finally filling with water after the engineers realized that the lever wasn't connected to the floodgate. It was nice to see all that water but something felt wrong. Everyone else seemed to be feeling the same way. Soon the water was spilling out of the well and everyone hastily made their may out. As Ahab was leaving the broker pushed past him muttering something about a lever. When he came out he saw that the entrance to the well room was being sealed up. As they finished the seal the splashes and screaming from the broker could be heard but it had to be sealed for the good of the fortress.
To take his mind of the broker, Ahab went above ground. He just went into Bogdan's Inn, grabbed some prickle berry wine and sat down to listen to the shouts of traders. Traders?
