Dusk approached with the swiftness of the wind, so the tribespeople ceased their labor and retreated to their longhouses. For supper there was the occasional bit of rabbit to be seen, but most ate fish freshly caught from the new boats. They cooked these meals over firepits in the center of the longhouses, though for a lack of other fuel they were burning sod, grass, and twigs.

Most of the little trees to be found nearby had already been felled, used to build the pier and fishing docks if not the longhouses. More lumber was needed for Dagshall to grow and the tribe to have ample firewood when winter inevitably came.

Fortunately, the Gods seemed to favor the Iceborn. There was a large forest nearby that would make a suitable spot to begin logging, and as fortune would have it, that forest was just upriver. The river would make transporting the lumber easy enough. They would just have to tie the logs together and float them downstream to the village.

So when dawn rose, Dag sent his lumberjacks to find a suitable place to set up a logging camp. It wouldn't have to be anything too complicated; the forest was close enough that they would just need a few simple huts to store tools and perhaps rest if they became snowed in or were unable to make it back to Dagshall before night fell.

Dag still hadn't heard from the men that had been sent out in search of goats, though he was not yet worried about their fates. Perhaps they would return to see their tribe already amassing a plentiful stockpile of fish and lumber.

Not sure if it's more [b]C) Improve Infrastructure[/b] or [b]F) Improve Resources[/b], but the Iceborn are setting up a logging camp at the forest upriver.

They're also still waiting on those guys that were sent to look for goats or other livestock.
