TIME CHANGING NOW IN THE INN
Please Note – TIME CHANGE FOR THE INN HAPPENING NOW
The timeline in the Inn has moved forward one week. The debris of the burnt Inn has been carried away from the site, and is in the process of being sorted for what might still be useful. Many hands will be needed to get things cleaned thoroughly . . . pots and pans and eating and cooking utensils . . . lamps and candle holders . . . mugs and plates . . . etc.
Regin Hardhammer has recruited a number of able fellows to assist with the rebuilding of the Inn’s rockwork foundations. He has also been asked to redo the great fireplace in the Common room and the smaller one for cooking in the kitchen. The mayor, Samwise Gamgee, hearing of the Dwarf’s expertise in metals, has broached the idea that perhaps the great doors to the Inn might bear some of Master Regin’s work. ‘A dragon, if you would think to do it,’ he asked. ‘Something distinctive.’ As yet, he has received no answer to his request, but remains hopefull.
A group of carpenters and builders sent by Master Meriadoc with 2 wagon loads of lumber are asking for help to begin framing the Inn structure. Some of those working on the project are unloading the wagon and sorting the beams into lengths, setting up sawhorses to cut what is needed, and rolling the barrels of different sized nails over where they will be most handy.
One of the neighboring Hobbits from Bywater has drug two large, long logs into the yard, and a number of Big and Little folk are astride them, paring off the bark. The logs are from two great cedar trees on his land, and they will need to be sawed into shingling for the roof.
Many jobs to get done . . . and many not yet listed here . . . such as tables and chairs and benches that will have to be cleaned off and many remade . . .
Pitch in . . . and let’s see the Dragon rebuilt . . .
