DEIMOS
And in your darkest hour,
I hold secrets flame
With war brewing and brimming on the horizon, and multitudes of other attacks amongst the history of Halo, it only seemed justified that they’d eventually construct a watchtower. The need for early warnings for any impending, incoming danger was sensible and practical, especially aligning with their quest from Frey. So after sketching, re-sketching, and considering diagrams amongst the folds of individuals passing ideas amongst one another, the plan could, hopefully, come to fruition.
The General came to the pinpointed area where they’d intended to arrange the structure – close to the barracks for easier access, amongst the center of the city. A few soldiers and stoneworkers came alongside, the former for their strength, and the latter for their wisdom in determining proportions and pieces. A multitude of supplies were gathered as well – including timber, crafted stone, and tools. From there, they’d just have to wait for the rest to arrive. -- This is a PQ+ to construct a watchtower in Halo. Deimos has snagged a few NPC volunteers to assist – as well as stone, timber, and tools to help! He has everything listed on his profile. Please include your character arriving and anything they’ll be bringing! 1. Deimos 2. Talyson 3. Sah 4. Cordelia master of nothing place; of recoil and grace |
Plot Advancing PQ the scale of ambition

It was the small sled today, and a harness of only two. Bell pulled from the front, but the red-furred husky was mostly busy picking the easiest path through pedestrians. Boreal, in her special harness, was in the wheel position and providing most of the power, though Tal was off the runners and pushing from behind. The sled might have been small, but it held two hefty barrels of the dried portion of the cold-set mortar mix that Tal had used on the Whitebrim waystation.
The sled pulled up at the site near the barracks and Tal unharnessed the animals, leaving the barrels for stronger individuals to unload. Bell curled up on the runners to guard the sled while Boreal ambled leisurely along at the courier's side as he trotted over to Deimos with a nod. "Thought the mortar might help later. Just need to melt some snow and mix it up over a fire," he explained, reaching down to check the pale Bag on his hip. His goggles were looped around his neck as always. Tal has everything on his profile. His dragon is with him. He also has one large axe and three smaller throwing axes. In the Bag of Holding is a knife, a shovel, jerky treats, a spare jacket and wool socks, a firepot with three embers, a metal bottle of water, and some tea sachets. the One-Shot

Sah arrives silently, simply nodding to those present. Tal gets not customary jabs or taunts. The Outlander can't bring himself to care enough to start their usual banter. As Cordelia composes herself, Sah restrains a flinch. He might not have the Attuned bond, but he can practically feel the pain radiating off of Cordelia. As much as he wants to reach out and offer some manner of comfort, he knows now isn't the time. That and it would likely be rejected. Letting out a shaky exhale Sah turns his attention on Deimos, "Where do we start?" Focusing on the task at plan seems like the best plan. That way he can't think about anything else. Anyone else ~ Sah arrives. He's brought all items on his profile, hunting gear, 3 daggers, rope, rations, and a water skin.

And arrive they do.
I suppose the first question is Hopefully someone takes charge or I have a feeling this is going to end up like a bad game of Jenga. But anyway, off you go! No posting order. How do you plan on building a tower? the Resurrected Sword

By now even Tal had noticed the change in Sah and Delia. He didn't know the details, but in a rare display of tact he didn't push the Advisor and only managed a strained and worried half-smile for Delia, itching to ask what had happened...
But not here. Now now. It was too public and he was too anxious under the eyes of those who had gathered to help to broach something so obviously unpleasant for them both. Deimos provided welcome distraction by way of a plan and Tal nodded agreement. "Don't know much about stonework aside from fixin' the chimney," he admitted, disliking admitting to lacking anything with Sah nearby, even as subdued as the other young man was. "An' I'm not much of a builder, but I can at least cut an' shape any wood for the framing inside, once we've got the foundation dug." He'd made and repaired enough sleds to know a fair bit of woodworking, at least, even if it wasn't construction from the ground up they way they needed it now. "If it's gonna be that tall, might want the bottom sittin' on something more solid than dirt. It's gonna settle and sink by the time we get to buildin' th'top, otherwise." Tal agrees with digging a foundation and offers to help with the wood framing of the structure the One-Shot

Sah listens to the others give their ideas before nodding. "Outline, then a brick-and-mortar foundation. That's a good start." He wasn't sure if wood would be a strong enough frame but that could be discussed later. The Abandoned still didn't have much construction experience but the rest of the plan sounds solid so far. A strong foundation laid beneath and above the ground sounds like their best bet. It'd make the structure more stable and durable against attacks. As for the actual tower, Sah isn't sure. Pillar-like but with some kind of defenses? "For the top, maybe a few structures that those on the tower can hide behind. A battlement I think it's called?" ~ Sah offers his opinion and suggests a battlement for the top.

Brick and mortar is a great idea. Do...any of you have the components for this, or ...?
Looks like @Taylson has a bit of the heat needed but you're going to need some cement, sand, and gravel in order to get this going. Maybe some of the team can start clearing the land while the others can procure the remaining materials needed. the Resurrected Sword

Normally Tal would have rolled up his sleeves with all the best intentions to try and impress Deimos by helping with the digging, but the weird air between Sah and Delia had him hesitating. Looking between all three of them the courier scowled and reached up to scrub furiously at the back of his neck.
"Um. I left the mortar with the guys over there," he waved to where he'd unloaded the barrels earlier, hoping the grunts hadn't spilled them already. "But I can get more, an' I could use help loadin' the sled with bricks." And he gave Delia his best puppy dog eyes, hoping she'd take him up on it instead of Sah. Regardless of who joined him, he'd had back to get Boreal and Bell back in their harnesses and hooked up to the sled so they could go shopping! Tal takes the sled and whoever comes with him on a brick and mortar hunt in Snowcloak! the One-Shot

Sah feels a slight surge of relief as Cordelia leaves with Tal, only to then be overwhelmed with guilt at his thoughts. Shaking his head, he pushes his emotions down until he can scarcely feel them. Letting out a long sigh he moves to join Deimos. The younger Abandoned lacks earth magic so he makes do with telekinesis and raw strength. The majority of the work is through him shoveling and patting down the ground as needed. But when things prove to heavy or cumbersome, Sah activates his telekinesis to give the obstacle an extra push. Sah works as methodically and efficiently as he can, hoping to get this task done before the others return. ~ Sah uses his mastered telekinesis, a shovel, and raw strength to help Deimos with the ground.
