While Darkeye worked on the roof, other humans moved around in a small crew to set the supports into the holes in the ground. While three people held a beam steady, a fourth person poured the concrete around its base. There were several supports, but with each one the team became more confident and efficient. Soon the tall timbers stood sprouting from the stony shore like strange trees without branches.
Hadama and several other Mer joined Kaiden in placing the glass blocks. It only needed to rise as tall as the water in the tide pool; the intention was to separate the underwater diners from the airbreathing ones while letting them eat at the same level. Kaiden's persistence was welcome, and after the experience of Ray's clinic, Hadama chose to work with the mershark personally while the other merfolk started from the other side. The work went smoothly enough until they reached the middle, and the more complex design there caused several difficulties. It should curve out into the dry side - here, Hadama explained, indicating the line etched into the rock by the architect. And into the pool - here. Reminiscent of a yin-yang symbol with two gaps at its equator, the odd design would allow a Mer bartender to serve drinks to humans, and a human bartender to serve Mer.
But it would take one last push of effort to make the blueprint a reality.
Round 4!
Almost done!
1. Raise the roof! Work with the NPCs to lift the new roof onto the support pillars!
2. Finish the central bar area with the glass blocks. The design curves and will take an extra effort to complete successfully.
