[b]C) Improve Infrastructure[/b]
[hider=Cotton Fields]
The Ards already had a decent cotton farm going, but the question remained what to do with it. Danr had first envisioned weaving the fibers into rope and sailcloth, but the stuff seemed warm and also suitable for clothing. In any case, one longhouse had its work area designated for use as a tailor shop. A primitive gin was built to separate the seeds from the cotton tufts, a loom was built to make beams of cloth, and all sorts of other equipment to make yarn and rope were also set up.

None of this was hard labor and normally the Ards were much more industrious, but with the recent worry about the Leviathan, war brewing with the death of the lumberjacks, and men out on scouting missions, Danr didn't want to push his people too hard. In any case, while setting up the tailors' workshop wasn't a monumental task, it was an important one. Warm cloth and sturdy rope were important resources, and now the tribe had a plentiful supply of both.[/hider]
[hider=The Lumberjacks]
Horik, ever cautious and mistrustful, fell quiet for a moment when asked where his people lived. He should have been prepared for that question after having asked it himself, yet he wasn't. For a moment he struggled for an answer and then determined that he would simply give them directions inland by the mountain, to the Ards' mine. If their intentions were good they would find some of the tribesmen there, and if they meant to attack, they wouldn't deal so much damage and hopefully at least some of the miners would escape to warn the actual village of Njor.

But before he could tell that lie, one of the younger lumberjacks that lacked both caution and smarts told them the truth. "By the coast is our village, down east. Can't miss the fishing piers and you can see the smoke for miles. We cal the place Njor."

Well, for good or bad, the Cewri knew where the Ards actually lived. Horik tried to give the one that had spoken out a subtle yet menacing glare, but in trying to be subtle and hide it from the Cewri he also was so sly about it that the loudmouth didn't even notice. Sighing, Horik at last thanked the Cewri for their meat and then told his own men to get ready to head out. After saying farewell and peacefully parting, they saw about building a logging camp in the forest that the Cewri had told them about.[/hider]

[hider=Summary]
-Added cotton cloth and rope as resources.
-The lumberjacks that went out like 5 turns ago finished talking to the Cewri and went to build a logging camp. Maybe the Ards can finally have more wood.[/hider]
