>>6144004Action 1: Establish naval trade route with Skrit
>Bille, that rapacious mayor has leveraged the council against us, and his fishermen are soon to be explorers, pioneers, and even traders. That cannot be. Ask your darling wife to introduce a cousin, sibling, or nephew whom I may leverage in turn. Skilled, but not too much so that the Katans would miss him.- Missive from Bever Hitab to Bille Hitab
>Father, I implore you to behave with more kindness, as Terra directs us, for we are all family under her. I have kindly asked my wife for her aid in your plight, and she has kindly directed me to her littlest brother, Skare. I do kindly hope you do not intend what your letter seemed to imply, as it would make her, me, and Terra sad.- Missive from Bille Hitab to Bever Hitab
>I apologize Bille. I hope you never have to become unkind as I have. Rest assured, Skare is not to be harmed, merely occupied.\- Missive from Bever Hitab to Bille Hitab
>The Hitab patriarch seeks audience with the Skrit Central. He wishes to speak through you, and for it to be known that it were his words going through you unto them, that he may claim credit for success, and blame for failure. Do humor him.\- Missive from Brother Saffer to Aksel Durbawey

Action 2: Construct current-proof barrier around small ones' ruins, and allow a slow drain to more easily explore them
>The deaths are inexcusable. Cease such dangerous exploration until the Bani arrives.- Direct order from Habitun Council
>Plentiful clay on the banks, but will still need some reagents from home to make the required mortar. Plentiful wood in the Svette Woods for material as well.>Buckets will need to be made in a massive capacity to aid in the draining efforts. Skrit can aid in exploring the small structures without damaging them, and finding any leaks to be shored up.- Foreman Arvid Bani
