"Though if you can create sunlight all the better..."

What are the wall made of? Could Kirpich use Shape Earth to enlarge the residence?

He could certainly make it more defensible.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 870):

stone and earth

In reply to Narrator (msg # 872):

So would shape earth work, or only in places?

While the boys are talking about defensive things and where to stuff the horse Hannatti tries talking to the lady and her boy. Mostly smalltalk but sliding in whether she know what it is that's been scratching at the door at night, "Does it sound like more than one? And what sort of noise does it make? Barking? Howling?"

OOC: Charisma 1 might be relevent/helpful

In reply to Hannatti (msg # 874):

The woman is just flustered,  her child withdrawn and quiet.

With the farm lady's non-responsiveness, Hannatti just nods understandingly and settles down to eat.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 873):

the root cellar has a worked stone entrance! and roughly worked rubble stone walls, with an earthen roof  supported by beams and some mats of  woven reeds..

the floor could be dug deeper! but expanding to the sides might collapse the roof.

Hannatti asks, "Do you have enough to eat?"

======
OOC: Are the farm woman and the child both eating?

In reply to Hannatti (msg # 878):

Unless the ceiling was turned to stone first...how many cu yds to turn the ceiling to stone?

Then shape earth to make it both wider and deeper, turning the ceiling and the pillars to support it to stone as I go.

Total cu yds turned to stone? Cu yds moved, can be done slowly to avoid fp cost. Then rest to recover energy...approximately 40 minutes total time.

[Private to GM: Rolled Earth to stone 7 times, between 12 and 6 under skill, rolled Shape earth 3 times, between 11 and 10 under skill.]

In reply to Hannatti (msg # 878):

the woman is eating, her son seems traumatized.

Kirpich are you telling anyone while you move the floor out from under people?

In reply to Farm worker (msg # 880):

Of course. Work with folk, create benches around the edges as well, and turn them to stone too if I can. Half a ft thick should be sufficient.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 881):

these alterations will last 24hrs. it is still daylight for another hour or so, do we want to go outside while Kirpich rearanges the place?

Hannatti looks at Aethul.

Likely better to be outside than under his reconstruction. we can stay alert, but they cannot come out  until the sun sets.

In reply to Aethul (msg # 884):

As he works, he asks those going out "Please graze the horse too, if you can."

We will do that for sure.

Yes, of course.

Balir nods "It will be fine with extra room for a good tactical advantage. Perhaps make some extra room next to the door, so we can have one more standing there, attacking the enemy that enters?"

In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 888):

Kirpich will get to work...

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 889):

the widow heads nervously to the door, but her son starts shaking as he is brought to ward the door, as if deathly afraid.

It will be safe Son, we will protect you from anything bad.

In reply to Aethul (msg # 891):

Please sir, may we stay inside? if you are widening the space, can you leave a corner as it is so that the boy may be calmed?"

In reply to Farm worker (msg # 892):

"Of course. I can only work in one space at a time. You are welcome to stay while I work."

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 893):

make o e default architecture roll to avoid collapse and you are good to go.
