[quote=@Fetzen] Agmundr winced when Esther more suddenly than not appeared next to him. He had seem him before on the ship, but the way he moved... He himself would've never been able to move around in a way even close to that. The revenant noticed that Esther's eyes were moving back and forth, but before he made a more profound thought about that, he plodded away anyway, the construction supervisor being his destination. Large loads of timber next to a warehouse shouldn't be that hard to find, even without a guide. So he followed Zane as long as he could and then diverted. The hulking undead looked around for anyone to stand close to the location described, but perhaps the guy was inside ? He knocked at the door - perhaps that was considered more polite than just entering. Normally he wouldn't have cared about it, but he was the rookie here and didn't want to take risks that could be avoided easily. However, he got hungry... Hopefully there was anybody among the new recruits that was more adept at hunting, fishing or farming than he was. [/quote] A tall, bulky man walked up to the door and greeted the man standing there. "Hey, name's Harald." He held out his hand. "I take it you're the one of the new guys? Sorry about that. I was hauling crates of silver ore over to the Smithy. Only way Lord Justed can afford to pay us is to have the smith mint the coins himself. 'Course, there's barely enough pulled out every month because of the goblin attacks, but it covers costs. So, what can I do for you?" [quote=@MonsieurShade] [@EurmalEye] Jacque cold barely contain the urge to smile like a daft fool as he listened to the blacksmith explain what sort of jobs there were to be done around the fort. Fortune favored the huntsman it seemed, as he not only had the opportunity to hunt sooner than initially expected, but he also had a chance to make himself useful with the little bit of shamanic magic that he knew. Granted his magic wouldn't really do much in the way of growing crops: the one spell that he knew in relation to sustenance was a purification spell, meant to prevent poisoning from tainted food and water. Perhaps when he gained more experience with his magiks, but at the very least he could potentially increase the shelf life of what little there was to go around. That would have to come later though, for now Jacque wanted the chance to go out and get a general feel for the new land, not to mention potentially bag something to bring back to the fort. As he followed after the blacksmith Jacque decided to pipe up once more,"[b]I used to hunt for a living back home before coming here, i'll think i'd rather put away my belongings and head over to the warehouse to see what I can do. If you can point me in the right directions then with any luck I can see whether or not they'll let me set up some traps for small game and such, maybe a few bigger ones for these undead you mentioned. Not exactly I need a meal right now anyway, got some jerky and pumpkin seeds to-[/b]". The hunstman stopped and lightly bopped his forehead, "[b]The seeds! Why didn't I think of that earlier?[/b]" Jacque mused aloud before he began to pat himself down, "[b]Never liked 'em roasted so I always ate 'em raw...[/b]" He muttered to himself as he searched his person, paying little mind to Alu as the monitor shifted this way and that to avoid falling off of him, "[b]Here we are![/b]". Jacque produced a simple cotton sack and tossed between his hands with a pleased smirk, "[b]Is there any chance that planting these might help us yield crops? I know that there's not much in the way of livestock here to help make a proper patch or something, but i'm sure with enough man power we can get something close enough to get these to grow. I'll even help with that as well as hunting if someone can show me how to tend to them right.[/b]". [/quote] "I know a bit about growing crops." said Jile in response. "At least, I've grown a few medicinal herbs in grow boxes before. Maybe we can talk to the chef, see if he's got any fruit, seeds, nuts, or roots that we can plant to try and grow more. Maybe edible things are too much to ask right now, but perhaps the seeds from some of the local berries or fruit trees? A potato or two even?" It then dawned on him where they might get supplies. He turned to the girl with wings. [@TaliPaendrag] "You're a local, right? Is there anything the fort has a lot of that we could trade with your people for food or farming supplies? Maybe iron tools, iron works or silver? I heard they have mines for both iron and silver here."
