Marching for long days along with six other dwarves, a wooden wagon and some animals was not an easy feat for the good doctor.
It was quite some way from the ease he was used to, and all that was starting to take a toll on him.
Would he really make it all the way? What else could he do, turn away? No. They were already way too far for that.
And what would he do if he went back? No way. He wanted to go on.
Better be someone in a small settlement, then a nobody in the huge city.
He found escape and comfort by diving in his mind, imagining things and dreaming.
His favorite flight was making plans for our
settlement clean fortress, and that he did!
Days after days he refined his plans, and how he would convince the group to follow them.
And how to achieve this? By giving them what they wanted, which is comfort, from his own point of view.
After scribbling his blueprints over a few nights of little sleep, here is what he wanted:
Legend- A -> Armor Stand
- R -> Weapon Rack
- H -> Coffer
- D -> Door
- ds -> Downstairs
- us -> Upstairs
- xs -> Up/Down stairs
- B -> Bed
- F -> Cabinet
- T -> Table
- C -> Chair
- U -> Statue
Preliminary draftDetailed blueprints - wagon levelDetailed blueprints - wagon level +1 (downward)Notes- The first step will be to dig out the barrack and the food storage, then move all the food and drinks there for preservation.
- The second step will be to dig the farm and get someone to start planting.
- Then we let the miners dig the rest as they see fit. It should be mosly all in soil for digging will soon be done.
- Each floor of the bedroom tower have eight rooms, one layer will be enought at the start. We may need to expand upward rather then downward because of the aquifer.
- The bedrooms tower can be expanded in both vertical directions, by digging downward and building a tower upward using stoneblocks
- Humble noble rooms can follow this variation
There was one only about a day before they reached the site. Doc Valrandir used this precious time to make part of his plans with the other dwarves.
The two miners, Stiric and mipe9 seemed too passively to listen to the doctor urgings, but he feared they might end up ignoring it all when the times to strike the earth come. We shall see.
Stiric would also be much needed for all the masonry crafting required. There are many doors and other rock furniture to be built, and the higher the quality the better. Doc Valrandir even offered him to borrow his pick and do some of the mining, if the Stiric would rather focus on Masonry.
Yet another dwarf naming himself ‘Powder Building Designer’ knew some of the destination geology and argued that any rock furniture could have to wait because that there might be an aquifer in the way.
This is what Val will be doingOn this first season, Doc Valrandir will be overseing the realization of his blueprints, helping with whatever task is needed toward their completion.
OOCWhat do you think of the blueprints for the initial design?
