Some tasks went better than others, but the important thing was that they were getting done. Flora 's combination of charm, authority, and the threat of Ronin was an effective motivation for those waiting to use the bridge to get in line and wait their turns. Her people respected a strong hand, especially one that served alcohol and threw parties, and no one wanted to be blacklisted from the Hanged Man - even if the bar wasn't quite back up and running yet.
Noah and Tal handled the woodworking with their NPCs. Speed and sturdiness were more important than style at the moment, and the northern contingent managed to keep the replacement and construction moving forward without any serious delays or injuries among their teams. While Flora kept the citizens from getting in the way of the work, Noah managed to keep his team moving quickly enough that no one got impatient enough to cause problems. As soon as they finished a section of planking, Tal followed right behind with the railings to ensure no one would get jostled off the busy bridge on accident.
The pilings in the water were in an area usually protected from strong waves and tides, thanks to the protection of the island the Docks were built on. It made them significantly easier to reinforce and broaden, and Hadama directed his merfolk and Attuned helpers with an eye to the sections that Noah was replacing above them, coordinating the work. The bridge might not withstand another Starfall, but by the time they had finished it seemed able to endure anything short of it.
The moon was moving across the sky as Flora opened the bridge to full traffic and people and supplies began to flow in once more. Hadama pulled himself back to shore and regained his legs, moving to join the team clad in simple trousers once more.
"Well done," he rumbled to them, proud of their teamwork and inclining his head deeply to them. "Now the real work can begin. We will need wood, stone, window glass, and thatch from the storehouses in Haulani. Take teams and go to these warehouses to get them." He handed out strips of wood with the addresses of a particular warehouse on each one and took the last for himself.
Time to get the bulk of the building materials! Be creative with transporting your chosen type!
1. Wood (long and unwieldy/awkward)
2. Stone (heavy)
3. Glass (fragile)
4. Thatch (lightweight and easily scattered)
