I’m not sure they have a name for the aftermath of a dragon having a bbq, Hilda. But that’s probably close enough. I know the Inn renovations have been keeping a lot of us busy, but the devastation from the aftermath of the monster attacks left a lot of places either completely destroyed or close to it.

The Red Path was important for a lot of reasons to the natives here and if they want to get some vegetation and seedlings replanted there so it’s not a wasteland come spring. That means we’re a little limited on time to get things transferred and planted before winter officially hits. At least what the desert calls winter, anyway...

Anyway indeed and before we get too far into Sylvain’s thoughts on the weather - we’ve come up with an idea on what to do. It involved a little fundraising and some talking here and there, but we’ve found those willing to donate funds to purchase some supplies to make this happen or the supplies themselves from merchants around Cadens. Some of the soil we brought back from the Nether will also be going to good use here in hopes of making sure everything planted does as well as it can, and hopefully it’ll be good as new soon. Or, well, as close to it as we can get, considering.

While we’ll be out there working on this regardless, we wanted to extend the invitation to anyone else who might be willing to join in. It shouldn’t take up too much of your time, and any help would be greatly appreciated to help the Red Path recover a little quicker. Promise there’s also a round of drinks back at the Sarstina for anyone who stops by.

I would be happy to help. I can talk to some of the merchants I know, and lend as much of my time as you need.

[philancer]

We'd really appreciate any help we can get. There... was a lot of damage. Dragons tend to leave a mark. A really big one.

[monomachy]

So I've heard. I only met the one here in the Horizon, but even there, the damage it caused was enormous. And remedied much easier than here in the waking world.

[philancer]

That's fine, I'm pretty sure between you and Steve, we'd be set anyway, but we're also not lacking for volunteers.

Although being able to just wish it all better would be a nice trick...

[monomachy]

It would be. But since we can't do that, we'll just put in the work. It will go quickly with so many of us.

[godshattering]

I was hoping we might hear from you, Diana. Don't think I've forgotten our teamwork out in the fields from a while back - this should be even easier!

[ Relatively speaking, anyway. He can still probably only carry one bag of soil at a time. ]

[monomachy]

I am sure with the two of us and anyone else who is able to help, the work will go by quickly. We make a good team.

[godshattering]

That we do! We've got a good group here and we'll work well together, I think. Hopefully this will leave the Path far better than it was left after everything.

[monomachy]

I know the people will be happy to have it back. So we'll have to make it beautiful for them.

I am happy to help. If there is anything specific you think we may need, let me know and I will ask the merchants.

[ ...At least there's nothing worse in Hilda's mind. ]

[monomachy]

I think I can manage that. And if we are left with dirt, we can always go to the spa in Nocwich.
