Left with the glass, Hadama gathered the remaining Torchers and headed for his own storehouse. He was already planning for the difficulty of the task, and sent some of his people to borrow a cart and pony while he led the rest in opening the warehouse doors and checking on the materials stored there. The windows were in good shape; some were thick enough to withstand a sea storm while others were thinner to better light in light and allow people to see through them clearly. He directed his helpers to pad the cart when it arrived and load it with their precious cargo, but as the wheels of the cart bumped over the new bridge there came a sound of cracking and tinkling from within the cart as several of the thinner panes cracked at the jostling.

Noah and @Tal also ran into problems. The demigod would find that the blocks of stone in the warehouse were awkward and unwieldy. The demigod's raw strength (and his regional bonus) allowed him to wrestle individual blocks, but his helpers struggled to lift them; the stones were more than one person alone could easily carry, and the big, burly men and women of his team kept dropping them, slowing the process down considerably.
Tal had the opposite problem. He and his helpers could easily carry the lightweight bales of thatch, but the sea breeze kept snatching the straw and leaves and swirling them away. By the time they reached the Docks, their burdens were only half of what they'd started with. It was going to take twice as much time to carry twice as much material at the rate things were going!
Ending on a high note, Flora had chosen her wood wisely. Her team might have been rowdy, but their ribald jokes didn't interfere with their ability to work, and it raised their spirits. The conga line worked like a charm as timbers were passed from hand to hand, through the streets of Haulani and over the bridge to the docks until a large pile was ready to be put to use!
Noah, Talyson, and Hadama are having trouble and will need to spend more time getting their materials transported to the Docks!
Queen Flora has finished bringing wood to her people and can choose to go help one of her hapless compatriots. Or take a break for a round. Maybe get some drinks to raise morale in the other teams?
