Post by Bailin on Nov 19, 2014 12:42:48 GMT
Swinging the door open and stepping inside his new manor Bailin shouted: “Honey, I’m HOME!!” only to be greeted by his own echo. His manor was in fact a small riveside house with a watermill outside, but as of now, it was home. The house was more or less empty, there was a crude kitchen, a small bedroom, a living room and a bathroom. At least, that’s what Bailin assumed when he saw four closed doors, a larger empty room and something that resembled a firepit with a roster over it. Almost forgetting his friends at the door Bailin quickly added oddytiudnir, Nostracatus the ‘allowed to enter list’. “So if this is the living room,” Bailin pointed two steps inside his new home, “Then maybe a couch over there, a small table over there, a larger table over there with some chairs and a book case over there.” he continued, creating a crude image in his mind as a way of planning the interior for his new home. The kitchen was easier to decorate. The firepit would be the stove, so all that would be needed were some kitchen dressers and a bar from which to hang the cooking utensils. Next stop were the doors, feeling a bit for pure randomness and Russian roulette without the fatal end, Bailin opend a door to his right, away from the river. The first door he opened was the bathroom. The bathroom was simple enough, the pot probably was connected to the sewers or at least something where it wouldn’t pollute the ground and water… at least, that’s what Bailin assumed. On the other side of the bathroom was something that looked like a crude shower, though it looked more like a bucket with holes in it so the water could flow at a slower pace. “Ah well, it’s something I suppose.” Bailin mumbled as he inspected his bathroom. Next stop was the door to the left of the bathroom. Unlike the bathroom this room was empty except for a small window. Both the kitchen and living room had larger windows, making Bailin assume this was the bedroom. “So, here I’d like to have my wardrobe, a nice bed and a nightstand, some curtains would be great as well, but first I’d need a bed and a wardrobe. Maybe add a weapon stand as well…” he continued mumbling. Somehow he assumed Oddy and Nostro would either follow him or explore on their own, as they would probably be staying here as well. Now there were only two doors left, one on the right and one to the left. Bailin decided to start with the right one, leaving the closed door to the left for last. Opening the door Bailin saw the room contained the laboratory, all kinds of weird instruments were present, in contrast to the other rooms, which were more or less empty. “Well, I guess I know where I can find Nostro when he’s missing… either here or he died nine times trying to do some research… which would mean we’ll probably find his corpse here.” Bailin grinned, but quickly got bored because alchemy and the likes of it were interesting but not his… forte. Closing the door he went towards the last hurdle, having a good hunch what it would be. Opening the door he started grinning with lights shining in his eyes. The water mill appeared to be connected to a large beam that went into the house and ended in the smithy/garage. For now the beam only powered the bellows for the forge, though potential other plans readily popped into Bailin’s mind. “Oh yes, yes, now this is more my kind of heaven.” he spoke grinning from ear to ear. On the other side of the room was the garage part of the dual purpose room. There stood a mighty working table, large enough for Bailin to tinker away for a long, long time. The table had some simple tools, like pliers and clamps to keep things pinned down or keep things pushed together. There was a lot of room for further improvement, which probably meant that there was room to build some larger projects or add other variants of working tables. Lastly the room contained a larger door to the outside. Going through the door Bailin found himself in something that resembled a garden, though this one only had grass. Standing outside in his garden Bailin could see potential for the garden, though he was not a gardener nor farmer. He could use it as a resting place, plant some flowers and such… but that would mean wasting room on nice looking things that weren’t all that practical. No, Bailin had other plans with his garden, though those plans would have to wait until a later point.

It seems Bailin has bought himself a house. Where the cat does he get the money from? Nostro silently nodded at the strange talent of acquiring gold his friend had. Well I am not one to complain. It does come in handy. He look at the small cottage whit an inspecting eye like he knew about housing. He sure did a little bit. in the real world his dad who build houses for a cooperation did tell about his work. "It does look nice." He mumbles rather jealous when he look at the house. It was not that small. Whit gray tiles on the roof to prevent water and wind from coming in. The walls where build from crude nature stone it had a nice wooden door. Al and al i was a nice place. except for the garden whit’s was overrun whit weed. What made that the air smell heavy like wild flowers. Then he saw the big watermill. "Nice! a big round turning thing. "Its has a watermill!" He shouted out happely. Look at it go, it goes round and round and round.. and round again!
Totally obsessed whit the big turning weel we ran towards it and spend several minutes just hitting te water and looking at the turning of the big wheel. Oh, wait that wheel is not turning.. I was turning my head. I have this strange feeling I was doing something.. what was it again. Nostro thought when somewhere in his cat mind he came to his senses. "Yes, the house. Time to find out what the inside looks like" He said smiling. When he arrived at the door he saw Baillin kick it in shouting to someone he was home. "Welcome home honn..AUth!" When we tried to follow Baillin inside he walkt against the door.
Whits for some reason did not want to open. "Eugh.. my nose! Bailin open up! What is the big Idea of this!" He yelled angry. When Bailin did not respond. He tried to pull to push the door out of its rigging. In an instant the doorknob moved and he almost fell in. Preventing it by making a rather strange turn on one leg. "Oh, wait it is your house.. so u have to ad us to visitors list.." He mumbled rubbing his now painful nose.
"Anyway, nice little house u have here mate. But look what the cat drags in." He said smiling pointing at Oddy who was still standing outside. Bailin did not hear him or at least pretended not to. Because he just when on exploring the house. "Hello? Bailin?” Distracted as always. He shrugged and looked around. "This would do.. for now.." he mumbled as he explored the living room and kitchen. I do hope that small fireplace works.. it would be so nice to lay in fornd of it on a nice soft rug when it is winter.
The first door he opened showed a workplace or a smithy of some kind. Ah wel not the place where u find me much I think. unless Bailin or Oddy needs my help. Smithy’s always make such infernal noise.. He shivered when he thought about it. He closed the door and chose another one. This one showed a rather primitive bathroom. "Well I suppose it will do" He said a bit annoyed to his own echo. I don’t think I should complain I don’t even have a house of my home. A bit said Nostro continued his exploration.
The last door showed him what he was hoping for. A fully equipped basic libratory. 'I died and I am in wherecat heaven.' He said in awe. For a moment he stoot there. But only for a moment. Then we ran like an idiot going left right up and down the room. Looking at every single object. "This is so neat, Distillatory, Purification sets, bubbles, flasks, vessels, Magic infuse thingy's, Scopes, knifes, prickly things, pliers and protective clothing. its al here.” Whit eyes as round as the moon he looked around. “I am never ever going to leave. But I need to arrange the equipment to make better use of the workspace I have." Following his out laud spoken thought he began to rearrange the objects in an order whit’s he thought would make it easier to work in the laboratory. But what shall I make in this nice laboratory of mine. There is the usual stuff of course, health potions, mana potions. Potions that cure diseases and other forms of status effects. U find those in every Virtual Reality Mass Multiplayer Role Play Game. Even things like invisibility, glibness, gender bender potions and the philosopher stone are so to say charted waters. The rely interesting things will be available when I hit the higher levels in my skills. Maybe I can make things that let people grow wings.. Or give magic effects to ammunition. Flaming, stunning, or shock gauntlets would be nice to. There so many possibilities. One of the other things I wonder, what would happen if u mix existing potions. Or electrocute a man potion.. would it be more potent? Or would that make a different potion. And what would happen if u mix a strength buff potion.. whit an levitation potion.. if those can be made? “Well there is only one way to find out what is possible. That is to start brewing and start making mistakes.
After quite some time Nostro realized he was just standing there like a strange ornament. He laught at himself shaking his head for his own silliness. “Before I start thinking of things I want to make I should make sure all this stuff really works." And so he started to test all his equipment to be sure it function properly and would not leak, break or explode during its first use. He went back to the living room. Appearantly Bailin and Oddy were not done exploring. Sins he did not see one of them there, He decided to go straight to the garage. "Well Bail, I must say this house will do for the time being. He shook Baillins hand in gratitude. "As always, if u need something. Just ask."

Oddy watched as Nostro hurried towards the waterwheel. "Crazy cat is crazy.." Sighed Oddy as he shook his head while Nostro played with the water and the wheel. Now to follow Bailin in his new kick-ass house. Thought Oddy as he looked at the house complete with waterwheel. I wonder how the inside looks like, probably different knowing Bailin heh. Thought Oddy as he walked towards the front door as he touched the knob a message popped up saying that he could not enter the house. Darnation Bailin! Thought Oddy as he fumed silently. As Oddy was about to walk away a new message popped up saying he could enter. Seems Bailin added us to the allowed to enter list. Thought Oddy as he turned the doorknob and opened the door taking in the sight of the hallway...Or what was supposed to be the hallway really. So this is his...House. Nice. Thought Oddy as he looked inside and at the floor, the floor creaking a bit. "Nice a wooden floor...Mmmh and the walls are limed I see, nice....I thought I saw some brick chimneys as well.." Muttered Oddy as he followed the sound of steps further into the house, coming up behind on Bailin just as he was pointing at several things and muttering where the new furniture would be placed. You need a woodworker for that...And you would need a Tailor for that. Frowned Oddy while thinking of the things Bailin wanted in his small living room.
Mmmh, I better make some things for in the kitchen, such as a pot and some Cooking utensils because I aint going ta eat with me bare hands here. Thought Oddy as he followed Bailin to what is supposed to be the kitchen. "Small little fire pit, right. Not for me." Muttered Oddy as he simply followed Bailin to the next room, as he saw that Bailin opened up the door and entered the room, Oddy followed and proceeded to enter as well upon noticing it was the bathroom Oddy thought. Note to self, make a proper shower frame. That thing looks utterly primitive. Oddy grumbled something about the Architect not really taking some things into account and just made a shoddy piece of work. Oddy shaked his head as Bailin opened up the next room and entered it, causing Oddy to follow and enter it as well. "Good gods. I aint coming ´ere anymore that’s yer bloody bedroom!" Exclaimed Oddy as he really noticed that it was Bailins bedroom. Yep not staying here any longer nope not a single frigging way....Although...I could probably make the bed frame out of iron so his Mattress can fit snugly...But then he needs a tailor for the Mattress most likely hehe. Thought Oddy as he hurried out of the room. As Oddy caught the last few words of Bailin he thought. Sure a weapon stand...Might as well make an armour stand then eh? Sjees..Bailin just...Sheesh. Oddy sighed and shook his head again when he noticed Nostro actually exploring on his own. At least have some dignity and follow the group ye bloody cat. Thought Oddy.
Oddy was still shaking his head when he saw Bailin entering another room so Oddy followed and he was awed by what he saw but then he remembered he would never use the things in this room anyway since that was Nostro´s area Alchemy...Not for me but fer the cat. Oddy thought as he saw the cat running around like a child in a candy store which it was...For the cat.
He then followed Bailin to the last room and noticed Bailin was awfully quiet as soon as he had entered the room. That’s weird. Oddy thought as he saw Bailin standing there before he entered the room himself, then Oddy was as silent as Bailin himself. I think I just died and went to blacksmith heaven. thought Oddy as he saw the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in a game. A fully fledged forgery with all the basic things he could wish for.
Oddy bounced towards the Anvil and let his hand slide over the smooth surface before stopping and inspecting the things that he could see, he could see the slack tub where he would cool off the metal in the future and then he saw the bellows connected to the tuyere which allowed the air to be blown in the hearth so the coal could be made hotter so that he had more heat to work with to hammer the metal into shape. Oddy grunted as he saw the pipe connecting the bellows with the outside. That explains the waterwheel. Bailin ye goddamn genius. Thought Oddy as this meant he would have not to work the bellows to heat up his forge.
Oddy grinned as he spotted the different kind of tools that he would use in his forge. A hammer always handy to smack things with into shape...Ooh those are tongs...Awesome! Thought Oddy as he spotted several tongs "Nice, right so I´ve got a flat tong, rivet tong, straight lip fluted tong and a gad tong. Those will help me nicely in the forge hehe. Very nicely indeed." Grinned Oddy as he proceeded to inspect the different kind of tongs on any kind of damage at all. "So from what I´ve read about the game here...I will need unrefined metal for the low level stuff but refined metal after that...Which means I will need to smelt those unrefined metal myself and then refine them AND then make things with them...Mmmh..I feel positively happy about this." Said Oddy as he proceeded to plan on things to make.
"So I´ll definitely need a melee weapon.. Possibly a katana but I could also make a kunai or a dagger but then I can also make hammers, axes swords...Even their two-handed variants which is once again very good...If I can just plan this properly then I´ll be producing quite many weapons..Oh I can also make armour lets see, chainmail. Plate armour, scale mail, what more? Oh metal shields are possible I think as well.." Muttered Oddy quietly before looking at Bailin seeing him move towards the final door and opening it before sunlight busted in and Bailin stepped outside. "Oh the backyard I think I better go and follow him hehe!" Said Oddy as he hurried to follow Bailin outside. "What a lovely backyard...Bailin if I know you, you are going to transform this backyard in to something entirely different. Am I right or not?" Grinned Oddy as he saw the flowers but also the weed. Definitely needs some weeding around here if we want to transform this into something else, except I have no idea what Bailin would transform this in. Thought Oddy as he heard Nostro saying to Bailin that if he ever needed something he could just ask Nostro.
"Right now what is next? We saw Bailins house but I have no idea what we are going to do next around here. Relax? Plan? Or anything else that we can do in this house. And Bailin if you ever need a sword just ask I can and will make something nice for you...Although if you prefer a hammer or an axe I can make that as well!" Grinned Oddy happily with a big smile on his face while rubbing his hands together in anticipation on all the things yet to come.

Post by Bailin on Nov 26, 2014 23:00:29 GMT
Startled Bailin snapped out of his semi-trance of taking in his new place. It was home. It was good to have a place of your own and being able to share with friends was a big bonus. Somewhere in the distance Bailin had heard something that resembled Nostro saying something along the lines of: ‘if you need anything, let me know.’ and getting his hand shaken. A bit after that, still pondering about a proper plan for his backyard Bailin heard Oddy talking to him.
“Well, we could plan and work a bit, I also need to pick a place for an office, probably need a nice and quiet place to work with all those numbers. Let’s just keep it at the perks of being an accountant. I think I’ll just keep the bedroom for an office, should have enough room for a desk and a bed, wardrobe and weapons rack and such. If you could be a dear and see to something to store weapons and armour, maybe even a bedframe… I doubt a metal desk would be practical but what about a blackboard? We could hang it from the wall, should save me a lot of trouble calculating and will keep me from sitting down all the time, just staring at numbers.” Bailin started thinking out loud as Oddy offered him his services as a blacksmith. The quality would probably be bad, but practice makes perfect so Oddy probably benefit from the long list of orders Bailin thought he would need or at least would be useful to either him or the three of them. “Perhaps you could also make me a screwdriver and if you could find me a better rapier that would be nice as well.”
“As for you, Nostro,…” Bailin turned away from his garden and back into the garage, “are currently not present… that’s ok, for now I don’t have much need of alchemical stuff, but potions are always nice I guess. So Oddy, what do you think about the garden? I think we should make a shooting range and testing grounds for all the things we will probably come up with… Make a trench over there, a large hill of dirt on the other end of the garden. Maybe if you could make some metal plates on sticks, shape them somewhat humanoid… we could use them for target practice.” Bailin suggested to Oddy, still standing in the doorway from the forge-garage and garden.
“Yes, I think that’s an excellent idea, let’s make a shooting- testing range in the garden, what could go wrong?” Bailin said happily, not awaiting a reaction from Oddy but taking out his M.U.T instead.
The M.U.T was more or less a trademark thing for the Warden-class and were pretty darn useful. Folding the M.U.T to the shovel Bailin started measuring the distance from the door and about five steps into the garden. There he planted his shovel into the ground and made a nice looking gap in the grass. Taking three steps further into the garden Bailin dropped the clout of grass on the ground as to mark the edge of the trench, as well as raising the ‘wall’ of the intended trench for extra protection in case of misfires, something he most certainly saw as a possibility of happening, as was common with his kind of luck.
Taking a single step back and forth, Bailin dug out another clout of grass, only to deposit it on the recently dropped clout of grass on the ground. Next he walked about another five large steps only to repeat his procedure of marking the edges of the trench to be and wall to be.
“Alright then, Oddy you can either help me or do something else useful or just relax, but I’d like to make a nice mound of dirt opposite of the trench, maybe dig some holes as to mark it. So if you want to help you can do that or you can do something else, though I have no clue if there is another shovel lying about anywhere near here.” Bailin said with a smile and a wink, sending his shovel into the grass again, dropping the clout on the ground where the wall was supposed to go. This he continued until there was a hole about 140 centimetres deep, the wall being 40 centimetres high, all the dirt and grass Bailin dug up from his trench that did not go onto the wall, he placed onto the pile of dirt where he intended to make the target area of his shooting range.
After a lot of hours the trench and dirt mound were finally ready and Bailin, drenched in more sweat than he imagined he could, sat down at the edge of his trench, feet over the edge, leaning against the dirt wall.
“Mein Gott, that was some hard work.” he sighed, his arms, legs and back burning from fatigue. “If I could keep this up for a few more weeks I’d be one chunk of muscle… and probably even the blisters would go away…” he said looking at his sore hands.
“Ah well, part of the job I guess, so now it’s time for relaxation.” Putting his hands behind his head and leaning further down against the wall, swinging his sore legs back and forth.

Post by Nostracatus on Dec 4, 2014 21:15:19 GMT
It seemd Bailin was not paying attention to what Nostrocatus sad to him. But totally occupied by his own thoughts. In the mean time Oddy asked questions about what there where going to do.
How would I know what you are going to do. That is up to u. He thought frowning. For all I care u go dig for ores and melt it. He thought smiling to himself. As he saw Oddy being chased by an angry bear. His mental vision disappeared when Bailin started to talk. Yada, yada, things he needs. Yada, yada boring office and numbers.. I dislike them unless they display my savings. Yada yada making a bed and more furniture. He does have ambitions. I give him that. To hide his feelings Nostrocatus just kept smiling.
When Bailin began speaking to him. He was full attention. He was disappointed he could not help his friends for the time being. \ “I am sorry to hear that. Well there is nothing to do about it.” He sad while his ears dropped on his head and he made a very said face. “Just for the record I can not make potions. I make Concoctions. At low level it is less effective but it does let me heal myself or an ally for a little bit and it stops status things like poison or blindness.” And alchemy is not what I am used to in this game. U could use it to craft potions.. but now it seems I can make.. magical powered computer parts. I do not really understand the concept. He sighted when he looked it up in the guide book thinking of the implications.
I reley should have paid more attention to this. I do not know if I want to keep these skills What am I thinking. I should at least try it. Quitting before u start does not bring u anywhere. And it would be a shame of that nice laboratory we have. Whit new resolve Nostrocatus looked to his skills. It can not be dufficult to do can it?
When he looked up he saw Bailin pull out a strange tool. What In the name of the great sky cat is he using? it does look a bit like a Swedish pocketknife whit a shovel aplication installed, handy. It is probably one of those class only items And what is he doing? He decided to go outside to have a better view. Nostro sat down whit his back against the wall of the house. “Bailin? I do not want to criticize your working methods but what are u doing walking around and putting holes in the ground?” Bailin did not answer his question but rather continued digging ignoring the whercat all together.
After a few minutes of beeing ignored Nostro dicided it was not his place to question his friend. If he likes digging then let him if he wants to. He has all the right to make a swiss cheece out of his garden if he wants to. He probably has the only right to do so. He Thought confused about his friends behavour.
The sunshine was nice. It warmed his fur and the house behind him. All and all it was making him rather sleepy. I really like this house. Let us all take a short nap. In the distance he did hear Bailin ask Oddy to help him dig. Poor Oddy. To be asked to dig in such nice.... Nostrocatus never completed that thought and afterward never could remember it. Before he knew it his eyes started to closed and he was snoring away, fast asleep.
When he woke up he gave a very long cat like yawn stretched his arms and legs and slowly stood up. "Where.. what.. Oh yes.. I was sitting in the sun. And I must have fallen asleep." He mumbled What is the time? Laughing in himself for this very Real life question. He looked to the sun. By the looks of it I must have slept for several hours. When he looked to Bailin he saw that he had dug away a lot ground between the to points. That proves it, I did sleep for several hours. I can not say I did not enjoy it.
“Common Bailin keep it up! U can do this. It is just a bit of dirt, Just shove it away!” he said cheering for his friend and his battle against the earth . “That is right friend. Just keep shovelling. And dig and hey! And dig and Hey! And Dig and hey!” He shouted hoping his chanting would help him. Better him then me. I do not have seen any spare shovels laying around. And digging whit my hands is not my thing. I am a cat, not a stupid dog who thinks he hears a mole and can catch it.
Still a bit sleepy he slowly walked to Bailin who was just saying he had a hard day of work behind him. In the german language. “U are absolutely right Bailin my friend. It was just exhausting to see u work so hard.” Nostrocatus had a rather evil grin on his face. When he sat down next to his friend. For several minutes he observed the long hole his friend had dug. “I must say, it is a nice looking hole....diths... moat.. thing”

“Right, so an office. Well consindering the bedroom is also the place where you´ll sleep I don´t think that is the best idea, why don´t you make a small shoddy office here? And then work outside? Heh or you know in your garage.” Said Oddy chuckling at the thought of Bailin working on his accountancy while in the garage with noise all around. “Now I´m not so sure about the bed frame, that will be a lot of hassle to actually make same with the racks, a metal desk eh? Good idea but not really practical with what I´ve seen from the recipes that I can make….Bailin, blacksmiths cannot make blackboards, Artisans make blackboards, it really includes a thin sheet of lets say slate stone between two or more pieces of wood because…Well if it was metal, you could make such horrible noises with anything on it hehe. I can certainly make the screwdrivers for you though and a better rapier, I´ll just need the materials, I assume you most likely want a set of three screwdrivers?” Said Oddy while standing in the doorway of the Forge-Garage. When Bailin asked about what to do with the garden and brainstorming his plan and deciding that that was what they were going to do to the garden. “Note, you ramble too much Bailin…That aside, I agree with your plan to make this garden into a testing range for weapons I could probably make some metal plates, but I don´t think I´ll be able to shape them in a somewhat humanoid form, something with not having the right equipment for it.” “And about what could go wrong…You are the only one with a Shovel…So…Oh well that gives me an idea to actually create a military small shovel which they actually used to dig latrines and trenches with! Let us not forget the fact that we´ll most likely need wood to reinforce some parts of the trench, so that it does not collapse when we´re standing too close on the ground near the trench it self.” Oh he is already busy with digging, he is like a dwarf just taller hehe.Oddy observed Bailin marking the spots where the edges of the trench were going to be and also the spots where eventually the targets could be setup for the shooting range. “Something tells me this is going to be a long hard day with a lot of digging some way or another. Oh well more fun for us and we get to do some fine work in creating our testing grounds for all kinds of stuff.” Said Oddy while already looking around for another shovel to grab and then to start helping Bailin with the digging upon finding no spare shovels and Nostracatus actually falling asleep Oddy thought. I will just dig with my hands sure they will get dirty but that is not bad at all since in this case I will be doing some digging and together with Bailin we will make a trench and a testing grounds.
Oddy cracked his knuckles and opened up the interface where he dragged his bow to his inventory so that he would have more space to actually dig and help Bailin. “Let’s do this! Oh seems, I was a bit faster than you Bailin I already looked around for spare shovels but did not find any spare laying around so I will just dig with my hands.” Said Oddy as Bailin asked him to help dig. Oddy pulled up his sleeves and went to work on the objective that Bailin had set, flexing his fingers, he went to work on carrying all the dirt that came from the trench that was being dug to the opposite side of the trench and made a few small piles that marked the spot where he would make dirt mounds for the future targets for the shooting range. Walking from one side to the other Oddy thought Such a shame Nostra is not helping…Oh well more for us less for him to do and who gets the exercise here? Bailin and me! Hehe.
Oddy smiled slightly as he imagined Nostra working on the trench and complaining about how hard it is to work with your hands with no spare shovels laying around. “I imagine these small dirt mounds are where the targets will be placed and then well the wall that Bailin is making will be for the misfires which will no doubt happen with his luck, but then I am also quite unlucky most of the times with doing things like that so I shouldn´t really complain but eh that does not matter.” Murmured Oddy while steadily working on making the dirt mounds larger with the dirt from the trench. After a few hours, while resting a bit he heard Nostracatus waking up and cheering Bailin on. While Nostra was cheering Bailin on Oddy was thinking Next time don´t be a lazy cat and do some of the work as well, while we´re here working our arse off for the greater good yer just sleeping in the sun and dreaming of food no doubt but no, since mister is a cat he feels greater than us thus he should not work, he is lucky with the fact that we have known him for so long otherwise he would have already been forced to work here. Oddy grumbled as he went closer to the river to first clean his hands washing the dirt off his hands and afterwards cupping his hands in the river to drink some of it. “Ah refreshing what water can do to lessen your thirst after a few hours hard work.” Said Oddy as he stood up and walked back just in time to hear Bailin say “Mein Gott, that was hard work.” At which Oddy responded, “That was some hard work indeed now we just need to make those targets and place them in or on the dirt mounds and finalise the design so that we can start testing things on our testing grounds. “But eh you guys should drink some water from the river it is quite refreshing I might add and it lessens your thirst, that is if you feel thirsty especially you should Bailin with all the sweating that you have been doing.” Said Oddy while pointing at Bailin and then at the river before walking to the trench and sitting down, letting his legs dangle off the edge.
