The day was spent clearing the areas where the building stood. The next day people will be hauling off more bodies and starting to rebuild the Smithy and the general store. There is plans for a place for Jason and a inn just west of the general store.
Jonathan nods "I think I can swing that, much easier to put on than plate," giving a guffaw, I always think of Conquistadors when I think of Breastplates and then how they traded it in when fighting the Aztecs in favor of the brined cotton armor that was so much lighter yet durable, and that makes me think of the paper lamellar armor of "Jonathan paused, "I'm rambling. I should stop. What I get from my trainer was a blessing." Passing off his sword hilt first, "I don't know if you can feel it, not a magic but a blessing of pure determination to smite those that have offended the natural order."
"Let me see" I'll put on an odd ocular device and spend a minute or two examining the blade before returning it. "When we get a chance, lets go see the general store owner. His place may have been torn down, but I bet he recovered a lot of his stock."
Out of Character: examining the sword for magic with the artificer's monocle.
Jonathan reached for his blade, "It's not something you study, it's something you feel," he said easily flourishing the blade. "That's the whole point. Let's head out and later on I'd like to meet everyone to just talk so they can get to know me better. I feel that people are keeping their distance to avoid getting to know me in case I end up like your elven friend.
"I don't think anyone's avoiding you, its just been a really busy couple of days. But yes, lets make sure you get to know them all"
I'll try to get everyone to work together in clearing out today, so we can get to know each other.
For me, the next few days will hopefully settle into a routine, help as I can with the recovery from the orc raid, then work on a magical item at night. Tonight in particular I'll be attempting to craft a scroll of Fireball.

"You must have been here a while already if you're already able to craft fireballs," Jonathan said, "Did you get a new visitor each time you were able to cast at a new level or did you find a teacher here? I've noticed there see a lot devoted to Bahamut here so I know there are people here to relate to."
"I'm not that far ahead of you. You could say that I cheat when it comes to spells going into magic items. Artificers like myself can make scrolls, potions, and other such stuff using spells that are two caster levels early. The catch is it still uses my actual caster level, so this will be a slightly weaker fireball than normal."
"And no additional visits so far, the new knowledge seems to arise on its own. Though my visitor did say he'd be seeing me again at some point."
"Good lord even with this belt heaving these bodies all day makes you sore," Jonathan paused to rub his shoulders, "I haven't worked this hard for this long in a while. When do you think we'll be done? I'm looking forward to planning how we're gonna deal with the ... Hobgoblin was it?
