Another inlet from the canals – but this one, at least, was above the ground and didn’t require a tunnel. Hadama nodded acquiescence with the task assigned him and swam to the indicated spot to examine his options.
Always, in Torchline, the question was one of stabilization.
”Boards,” he instructed a couple of the humans NPCs who had followed him to assist. ”For now. Later, we can shore up with stone. But for speed today, boards. Flat and square, as large as you can find.”
Meanwhile he marked out the width of the inlet – wide enough for the largest of his people to swim comfortably in their usual half-shift; wide enough to turn and swim back out, too, but not so wide that it would take forever to excavate.
Taking a short, broad shovel he started from the top and began to clear the dry sand and dirt first before moving down to the wetter, heavier stuff.
Hadama sends NPCs for boards to stabilize the walls of the inlet and prevent them from slipping back in, and begins to dig.
