Internal Annual Report: Year 2
Thikut Tradetowers, Foreman of the Bloodbowl Project
"Major construction is, as of now, essentially complete -- there's a little more roofing to be done over the grandstands, but it pales in comparison to what we've already done, which means our need for masons is dying off compared for our need for talented glaziers and smiths.
With a population of 45 we're feeling almost like a real fortress... which frightens me. I certainly hope the royals don't expect me to manage this hellhole once it opens. We're somewhat short on food, massively short on beds, and critically lacking in sociable company. I've had to appoint a bookkeeper to track this mess. It could be worse -- we're neither starving nor dry
The ground floor is basically done -- we still need the hatch covers for the end zones, but that's going to be a silver hungry process. As you can see, any row across the field can be annihilated by ballista fire, as per my instructions. The north facing ballistas shoot blue, the south-facing ones yellow. As a matter of defense engineering, I might actually appreciate the killing field we have here.
The stands, including sky boxes for nobles at each endzone. Above this, there's nothing but an ordinary roof. We haven't placed the stadium seating yet, due to what seems to be a general refusal to put chairs outside, but that will come.
Some of my fellows have assured me we could play a round as is. While I have no stomach for the sort, a bunch of our masons took up a pick up game. It was far less barbaric than the official matches, almost fair, and it did prove the matter"
(anyway, this is basically the stadium. the channeled endzones will be covered with silver hatch covers, attached to levers on the noble skyboxes, so they can drop anyone who looks to score on their side. Ideally, it would be channeled all the way to magma, but a dozen z for a fatal fall will suffice. A lot of clear glass windows are upcoming, to separate the stands from the field, but that's one hell of an industry so it might get a "mind the drop" slab instead. I could probably call it "done" when all the chairs and hatch covers are in place, but the glass and levers will be a nice plus each)
