[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 672207, member: 8530"] Chapter 6, “Securing the Premises”, July 3rd, 1019: Kindor departs to go check in with Melito as the group’s elvan mage Kharole joins them at the warehouse building. They decide to take a very detailed look around the building itself. Narg declares that “There is way too much access to this place, we need to change that.” The group brainstorms about the modifications needed to make the building more secure. This includes filling in all of the ground level windows and chimneys in the offices on the eastern side of the building with stone or brick, putting bars and bolts on whichever doors they decide not to use and putting iron bars up over the windows in warehouse and second floor rooms. Cassie suggests putting up some type of catwalk along the northern wall, above where the group is planning to build the auction stage. “Won’t a catwalk attract models?” quips one player. “We like that sort of thing,” replies another. It is pointed out that the group’s archers could be hidden up there during the auction. They make a note to return to the Island to get Aradyn, their most experienced archer. They debate coving over the windows completely, and using Continual Light spells to keep the place lit. It is suggested that they cast the spells even if they decide to retain the direct sunlight, so that the building will be lit up round the clock. Serita says that they also need to find a way to prevent unwanted teleportation into and out of the building. “And a way of detecting anyone who is invisible,” Mark adds. It is also pointed out that Timothy’s alignment-detection ability will be very important. They discuss needing construction supplies and laborers for these building renovations. They decide to bring in their own labor rather than hiring people they don’t personally know. Lannon comments “Won’t we get in trouble if we don’t hire the local carpentry and stonemason guilds? They’ll get mighty upset if we bring in our own people.” Cassie replies “Lannon, your Council position is Minister of Inherent Priorities.
