Phineas did not choose to be in the fight, but he at least knows it is a fight now, and will not fall to an attack because he was surprised."Seeing where this is going, Shari whispers a quick cantrip.  With a bit of concentration, focused mostly at the one who's voice is raised, but not a shout yet, above Kellermyre's head and just behind him, a storm cloud forms.  About three feet in diameter, it roils and churns as it grows in intensity and darkens."When one of your workers drops an axe on his foot, who is the one going to mend his wounds?  I am. When our enemies come, who is going to to lead the fight against them? I am.Who is going to heal the injured after the battle? I am.  The storm cloud darkens and pulses with each statement.When someone is wandering away from the moral path and needs a bit of guidance back, who is going to give them a bit of advice or lecture? I am." "When it comes to making decisions around here, who is going to make them? ... I am."Kellermyre pauses for a moment to let that statement ferment and imprint.  Then, softening his tone, "Now that that is clear to everyone, tell me what supplies we have on hand, and what manpower is available.  First, we need to know what we have.  Then we are going to scout for a better location.  Once we find a place to build, it is quick shelters, a defensible fence line, a pier before the next ship arrives, and then permanent housing in that order.  Phineas, how many days before the ship that was to follow us arrives?"As his voice is calming, so is the cloud over his head.  Shari is managing to stifle her giggles and keep a straight face."After those immediate needs, we focus on a smithy, a baker, mill, a butcher, carpenter, and the things we need to build a proper port town.  Once food and tools are done, then we can build the brewery and tavern."<img src="http://lpf.coloredpixels.com/Kingmaker/Kellermyre_Stormforge_headshot.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/pnthffr/uder_150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=56902&d=1364420027" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Kellermyre Stormforge Uder Gormengeist * Shari de Leye </blockquote>
