>Listeners may make a Defense check to Relocate while occupying a settlement that is under attack, so long as it connects to another settlement via subterranean roads. A maximum of 5 pop can be moved per success (6+). Defense tech involving structures made of Shifting Wood produce 2 levels of Defense.
Sitting atop a tower overlook within the center of The Eastern Reach, Ser Greg ponders his options while stroking a clean blade with a substrate whetstone. Observing the reptilian raiders descend from the distant mountains in a swift charge towards the settlement, only one thought crosses the knight's mind: A chance for vengeance. Swiftly stepping down the steps of the tower to prepare for battle, a vision comes to him from Listener merchants far away within the Cradle of Royalty. The approach of danger has already been heeded, and the God King's servants march to establish common ground with the raiders... Heresy. Such vermin could never come to understand the weight of the lives they take with such glee, let alone could they simply go forward living in harmony.
But alas, should the powers that be deny his blade its purpose, nonetheless in times of desperation, whether they be reptilian or naught, there must be a means of saving lives. And so, great stretches of Shifting Wood shall extend deep within the Earth: Living shafts that when their myceliac is signaled to open, gently descends the fragile lives the innocent down and into our tunnels to seek refuge.

Ser Greg is beginning to find this Shifting Wood material to be quite handy, thanks to the genius of that acute squirrel. The Elderwood Pallisades have proven quick to erect and plenty durable, but they shall not stand the testament of time. These raiders grew much stronger even in the short absence between their attacks. Let us reveal how much greater our defenses can become as well. Massive pillars of Skelros Bone spikes are erected to form a spine, forming the literal skeleton of the structures to be. Then, implanted between the bones and induced to grow, the shifting wood extends from spike to spike, forming a solid wall as the living wood heeds the ever word of Ser Greg's command through their concord. Next time, we will be ready.
