Preliminaries

[Wizry 437]

 

Late into the night, explosions were sounded by the bridge. It was the completion of works that had long been constructed.

 

First had come the flooding of the northern plains of the Nevaehlen city, two or three metres deep so that those attempting to besiege the city would not be able to cross into from the northern walls.

 

Second had come damming of the river, preventing the access of the waterways to those who wish to siege and bring artillery up. 

 

Third came the halting of the usage of the underground caverns buried underneath the ruined city, blocking or burying them - whichever was easier to prevent them movement access.

 

Now finally had come the implosion of the bridge itself, to prevent easy access from aboveground to the city’s gates.

 

This would not be the last of the fortifications. Trenches would be constructed on the southern side - close to the palace; outposts would be built around the city & externally; communications systems would be built with alchemy & mirrors; and non-mundane light-sources would be created so that the Vale can defend themselves.

 

It was as it had been said once, “In the struggle for existence, one does not bother about the means one employs”. Clearly, the command-in-control was taking that saying very literally.

[!] One silent elfess had quickly brought all of her critters to a non-flooded zone, quietly mourning the temporary loss of her house.

 

[!] One far more vocal woman was loudly cursing out the fool that flooded her basement.

Ang comments as the 'ame assists with the preparations, "It is necessary although it's a pain to see the water way blocked. Ay hope we can clear the dam after dealing with these scoundrels. Ay want mi beach party."
