>>5778370>>5778387>>5778422>>5778551One week have passed. It is now the 10th of Germinal.
Your <span class="mu-s">Stonemason</span> have made tremendous progress - in fact, among the 15 skinks assigned in addition to the apprentice, it turned out one of them was a natural stonecarver, outgrowing tremendously in skill.
>1 of your random skink grew in standing : you know have a Young Mason Not as good as the few century old worker you embarked with, this newborn able to coordinate a few skinks on his own more than doubled the amount mined in the quarry. Then, problem starts.
Skinks are nimble, but lack in muscles. Even if many hands makes work lighter, it's still heavy for the meek lizardfolk. Despite all the help, the stonecarver team hauled only a third of the mined stone - This will turn into a problem.
Meanwhile, you constate that allowing more lizardpower to your <span class="mu-s">Herder</span> was definitely a good call. One of his apprentice is witted enough to be tasked with terradons. However, the lack of Stables (and qualified lizardpower) means that reducing the amount of allocated skinks might cause trouble.
Your <span class="mu-s">Carpenter</span> is slowly working on clearing the prospective land. Once again, that labor would clearly go faster with scaly hands more strong than dexterous.
The <span class="mu-s">Chameleons</span> had satisfacting success on their hunt. The surroundings are gamey enough that they killed (and crippled, alive meat doesn't spoil as fast) enough to eat well <span class="mu-s">this week and the next</span> without eating your packed preserved food (Around 6 weeks, meaning 2 month, worth),
At the end of the week, <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-s">Shak Tcha</span></span>, which gave it a lot of thought, came with a natural conclusion to the plannification of building while keeping in mind future growth :
By delimiting terrain zones, the housing to build will be made of cubic independant stone houses, instead of the instinctive heap of buildings leaning on each other with whatever material is available.
Those house would have to be extremely sturdy, and precisely positionned : the next ones will be build upon them level by level, turning the first housing into a propper <span class="mu-s">Habitat Ziggurath</span>. This plannification will even let the <span class="mu-s">Ziggurath</span> be crossed by the roads, and might be link to a water supply for a flowing, misty waterfall.
Lizards like mist and waterfall.
Of course, this great plan requires more space and base material than a quick solution, but will save time and space in the longer run. If you can pace yourself to reach the longer run.
