WESSEX
the wraith
True, it’s a big undertaking for the three of them, but the only way to get it done is to get it done. With or without mistakes.Varus has the bright idea of chiseling away at the seams, using their ancestor’s knowledge of stability (and it must be, to have endured over 300 years) to their advantage. And Wessex, while her idea was smart, in theory, and would have saved them a lot of time on part two of building the Barracks, just isn’t an architect. There’s really no way to get the wall down from the second story in one piece and if they’re going to build with it, it might as well be in new pieces.
She finds this out the hard way. In an attempt to catch the wall - or maybe just easily lower it down - she teleports herself to one of the remaining roof beams at the top, a thick loop of rope thrown over her shoulder. She ties it off and begins to lower herself to catch the wall, but the age of the mortar and the chiseling of Cam and Varus set the crumbling in motion. Wessex has a loop only around one corner when said corner breaks off entirely. No one’s hurt, but it’s clear that this strategy won’t work.
“Hold for a second!” Wessex yells, then teleports to get the other cart. Might as well save them the effort of lugging it around. She unhitches it from the horse and brings the cart to underneath the wall, where it can catch much more, hopefully. “Okay, have at it. Forget I said anything about getting it in one piece… that was dumb.” she yells back up at them again, before grabbing her own chisel and hammer and heading to an adjacent upper wall.
Between the three of them, they manage to get two out of the four walls down, and once it stops raining stones and other hard bits, the horse’s owner even pitches in to help gather the stray pieces. Once that cart trundles off, the other one returns and Wessex turns to Cam and Varus. “How you doing? Need a break or anything?”

Take a break if yall want, then there are the two walls left. Just be careful, the floor on that side of the building looks a little unstable and there are some holes. Also a wasp nest in one corner :)
