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 just got back in from a Caravan trip, so I'm probably back in for a good while. I can probably come for most of the days, and drag the boys along with me from home, too.

How long is the job looking like so far if you've a good crowd?

[godshattering]

Talk about perfect timing! Whatever you can do will be more than appreciated, and same for bringing anyone else along. The offer of drinks extends out to them, too.

And honestly - I'm not sure. We'd originally scheduled a decent amount of time but it may end up being shorter if we're able to get everything planted. You go with the caravans regularly, I take it?

[tobeclosetohim]

Yeah. I usually look into whatever's available.

Clearing the caravan roads of new monsters showing up, prowling about, halting progress or taking down earlier groups. Or hire out to help with the ones who'd rather have a hunter out guarding them as they are making the trek.

[godshattering]

Ah, I did that briefly about a year ago for some supplies needed for Libertas though that was about it. If any of those future trips happen to take you down the Red Path, at least it'll be a little more scenic now than it's been as of late.

[ Wait - something about that clicks a little more among bits and pieces of other things he's seen go by on the good old mind writing. ]

I remember the message you sent about the Hellhounds when they were around. Those were from your home, I take it? We had something from ours show up in Solvunn when the rifts were around.

Demonic Beast. Not the friendliest thing out there to have show up, but a known enemy we could help others with. Slightly easier to kill than the things made out of metal I saw walking around, at any rate. Is that the same about the Hellhounds? Well - them being common, that is, since I can't imagine the invisibility helps anywhere.
