The m, Zaka made his annou, which caused quite the sho the vilge. There was a lot of hushed whispering, and even some ht yelling, but by the end of it, even the rowdy goblins had quieted down. He gave them a week to decide if they wao stay o. At that point, they would set out towards the other valley to select where their new vilge would be. He also asked that even goblins that choose to remaihose who are leaving by going along with them to help carry supplies.

  After the annou, Gakus came up to the front, and said, "Although I don't have any ill will towards Zeb or Zaka, in fact, I quite respect them, I'll be moving to the new vilge. They'll need help building things, ae everything, I feel that I should go ahere. I just wao let you know now." After his statement, he nodded his head a. Well, he's always been quite straightforward, so I'm not surprised. Plus I know he likes to do repetitive tasks, so I'm sure he'll enjoy his time there.

  Although, this might end up not really teag the oblins a lesson at all if he just duplicates this vilge over there. Well, he's good at replig things, but for some of the strus, he probably won't be able to replicate them. If the other vilge asks for help, I'd probably be willing to share info with Gakus if it doesn't take too long, but outside of that, I don't io build things over there for free. If I'm not wele there, then I don't see what I would have to gain from giving them anything.

  As for the vilge here, with Gakus goher myself or Zeb will start to be in charge of doing maintenance checkups again on all the various things within this vilge. As such, I should probably familiarize myself with any ges that happened i year.

  First, I looked over the imp summoning chamber that Zaka had Gakus make in the vilge. It's a medium building with no windows and solid stone doors measuring about fiftee by fiftee. Once I entered ihere is a wooden celr door in a er of the room, and a pilr in the ter. Uhe celr door is a stairwell that opens into an underground chamber with the same dimensions as above. The basement has a bit of a bad odor, so I leave fairly quickly.

  After asking Zaka about it, he would go in and summon one imp at a time in the basement and then go back to recharge ihhouse before repeating the process. Iween each trip, he'd close the celr door, and have two goblins guard it, to make sure no imps snuck past. Thehey fihey'd close the heavy stone door, and keep watch for the night. By m they'd usually have a goblin in the basement. The rest of the imps would get ed up, and then they could repeat the process the day.

  After he expi, although it's a bit gruesome, it's not that different from when they were in the cave, so I'm not going to pin. It reminded me to che the bathhouse though. I fully inteo remove the crystal and put it deep underground after everything that has happened so far, but given it actually is seeing use in the vilge, now I'm not so sure. If it lets Zaka stay here to summon imps rather that e up and use the cave, doesn't that just free me up to have full use of the whole cave all the time?

  I don't want to jinx it, but as far as I tell, the lizards have bee extin the isnd now, and we've dealt with an eagle, although there was quite the suffering before it was dealt with. I 't even say for certain that the eagle was actually caused by the crystal, it could have just been a bsp; Plus, as I uand it, sihe crystal has been in p the vilge, the wildlife and pnts nearby have been thriving more than they did prior, which has made the harvests and hunts more successful.

  Another stru that happened in the vilge was that Gakus built more houses. I'm going to wait until goblins leave to go to the new vilge before I ihose houses, but I'm a little worried about drainage bei up properly, and whether the new road Gakus built have everything id out as necessary for drainage.

  Outside the vilge, some of the ste warehouses have bee rown with vines due to . I'm not sure if this is a problem or not, sidering how they're built from solid stone, but ultimately, they should be cut down a clear. Although the vines are a bit more mahan some that you'd find in the wild, they should still be useful for making rope, and sidering the funing path plus the fact Zeb and I e to the vilge again, we probably will have quite a bit of use for heavy rope in the near future here.

  The water level in the reservoir is currently sitting at about eight feet, which sidering the time of year, is abht. None of the valves I see are clogged, which is good. After a month or two, I should be able to tell if the reservoir needs mud removed, or if the bottom two valves o be ed out.

  A final thing that I found that does need some work is the pavilion basement. It looks like it has been expanded again at some point, as there is a third stairwell level going down now. However, it seems that it is only half structed, and there is over a foot of standing water in it now. I 't say for certain why there is the water in the current state, but I'd like to remove it, and properly add another screw pump to remove the water, and finish the yer.

  It could just be that the yer was never finished, but I'd guess that part of the problem is iails of how I made the basement yers. I purposefully gave them an almost imperceptible snt towards the colle area where the screw pump would be operated from t the water to the level. The sed thing I did when building was to purposefully smooth the walls so that any water won't seep through the stoo the basement during heavy rains. If the walls aren't prepped, it's possible that all this water is just seeping in.

  So first I'll o smooth the walls, with the water present in case it is seeping in, then we'll have to remove the water manually, smooth the floor and slope it slightly, and finally add a screw pump to remove what water does fall in through the grates.

  Overall however, the vilge seems to be more or less in w order, which is nibsp; I'm a little ed about Zeb, as after Zaka made his annou, he decided to just spend the rest of the day in Zaka's house. I'll keep watg him, but I think he's in shock after that fight with Kurg, and possibly shocked at the fact he killed him. I'll let him go at his own pace for a while, but eventually, if he doesn't start moving again on his own, I'll have to help him start living his life again.

  The day has finally arrived. The goblins are setting out to form a new vilge. A little more than a third of the current vilge have decided to leave, and an additional third are going to help them initially get set up. As such, I've got my opportunity to check the new houses and road for stru issues. For the past week I've been fixing up the basement of the pavilion, and although it isn't finished yet, we've gotten the existing water out enough to start w on the finer details. That said, the fact that I have t burning wood dowo see has been a bit of a pain.

  The road itself is in good dition, and structed well, but when I open up the inside, I notice a few problems. There are some pces with water puddles in the drainage pipe underh where it is clear that it wasn't structed in a tinual downhill pattern to ehat all the water flows out and doesn't stagnate. As such, I'll likely end up spending a few days w on that to make sure all the drainage occurs properly. Ultimately, it's something that Gakus will end up having to deal with in the new vilge if he builds it the same way over there, but again, I'm not pnning on just volunteering information for that vilge.

  As for the drainage uhe houses, over here, there is a simir issue in a few of them, where care wasn't used to make sure that all areas were perfectly level and sloping away to drain the area. Which, given the fact I use levels to actually check the stru, and know that I o do so, makes sense. If it wasn't raining when he built the drainage underh the house, Gakus probably didn't fully uand why it was doo drain all of the water, and didn't uand the precision involved.

  Thankfully, I shouldn't o pull up the floors in each of the houses to fix this issue. If I just attach the level to the floor of the house, then I should be able to use teise to get a grasp of the situation, and fix it ily with stone shaping. Of course, I'll check ba after we've had a few rains to make sure I properly fixed all these issues.

  All in all, I have at least a few more weeks of work ahead of me.
