Xander is heading back to town with the rest of the group.

I got a name for the new settlement, New Amsterdam Holbitya. That could be
the starting point for my Canton.

Hobbits like to have gardens with tulips and other flowers in front of

Sean has a plan for that. He calls it "The Netherlands Project". Dyke
off sections of swamp, pump out the water. The portions nearest the rivers
would be pumped out by the river. The making of the dykes would be the
most labor intensive part. Some get pumped completely dry, some get pumped
low, like rice paddies and cranberry bogs. Leave others like ponds to farm
raise fish. I suspect the soil would be quite fertile. And to keep it
inline with the Netherlands, maybe plant some tulips.

We could make an enterprise that dedicates itself to the draining of
marshland, making it availble as farmland, once we've cleared the dragon of
course.

"I have been saying so. We have plenty of things around that industry can
make profitable. I hope to find minerals to mine, we can farm somewhat. I
am hoping we can act as an intermediary between inland communities and the
wider world. I truly think we can make a go at ship repair and building,
though not so much building until we have the lumber. That requires
capital outlay. But the simpler stuff, fishing, farming, basket weaving
from all the marshland reeds, other agricultural enterprises, such as
cheeses if we have milk to use, mushrooms, herbs, fermented spirits. I've
been talking about it for some time, my thoughts on the subject are well
known. And that is just what settlers can do. We have John Mac and Hagar
who could do well training fighting men. Xander has an apprentice. Holly
will be directing the less savory aspects of society. You could possibly
set up some sort of seminary. I am still interested in establishing a
library, assuming books can be secured. And speaking of books, it is
possible we can make papyrus from all the marsh reeds. And, soon enough,
we can sell loose dragon scales as souvenirs." Sean smirks.

"Yes, that's a bit what I'm afraid of." Elmore half murmurs, in reference
to Bonaluria's graciousness. "I really do need to figure out some revenue
bringing industries to help pay for her largese Right now, my income
depends on loot of foes. A cooper would be good though at some point, we
need to have people coming here to run their own industry instead of
coming here to be on our payroll. The whole town can't be on our collective
payrolls. Eventually we need free enterprise. Household wineries would need
a cooper though. "

"You have a household already in being, my friend. I will have to make
one from the ground up. Nothing so fancy or important as yours, mind you.
But, with luck, it will be in the Cove. And those of your Guard who have
wives and families will help make the place more...human, I think. More
friendly? more attractive to potential settlers. And I have no doubt your
Bonaluria will be as gracious and giving with them as she has been with
them all in the past."

"I have at least one bootlick that could make the purchases. Bonaluria was
nice enough to see to his outfitting so he looks good. I think Paris's
former valet should be familiar enough with weapons. I think I have him in
charge of church regalia, should we get some. Right now, he may be
assisting Kendrick and Beathan with theirs. It seemed a bit premature
hiring so many servants, but maybe Bonaluria will have grown to know and
consider many of them friends before any major changes. " Elmore

Sean nods. "Write down any specifics, I will endeavor to do what I can.
Remember, I am persona non grata at Arbogast's but I am sure I can find a

At the moment, Elmore feels he has a big enough payroll as it is. Perhaps
you could get more bows and arrows for his archers. Materials for them to
make more armor, weapons etc out of if needed.

I assume we are bringing all the jewelry and magic to be

Did Sean ever pick up that pendant he commissioned from Baltisar?
Platinum with the emerald? Just curious.
Anyone have any recruitment requests? And, if so, someone other than a
level-locked ranger will need to hire them... Perhaps Ahearn can do that
for those who need to, on their behalf, of course.
