says to ALL: I was back at the warehouse once more, I had a few special deals going on now that I was overflowing with food and suls again. which lead me to here, standing before men kneeling and looking very unhappy that it was a woman that paid for them to come be evaluated. I had the single thick veil covering my smirk, the smile that fought to spread over my lips was just about to win when the Harbor Master came walking over looking a little displeased too

are you crazy Peasant?!? These men came from the mines, debts to be paid and you want them to do what again??

I turned to my right on my heel and slowly face the man. dainty shoulders were seen rising and falling again before I brought up a set of dark smiling eyes. the smile was true and it now took over my lips before I turned back to the men and cleared my throat lightly

well first lets see if they can do the task and then I will reveal my plan. I will pay their debt in full if they meet my standards

I stepped back slowly a step or two as I watched the large men rise. my throat closed a little and my chest tightened when I thought about what I was getting myself into. Still like usual I didn’t let that or anything else stop me once I set my mind to it. I turned and rose up a few steps and then was given a helping hand up on the crate to watch from a birds eye point of view. the men sat down and strapped into their gear, obstacles were put around in various places by slaves and I found myself holding my breath for a moment as they began to rise making the man next to me murmur

says to ALL: I watched quietly as they began to walk around slowly, I had asked for ones that were used to heights and trained a bit in the fine art being shown to me. It was an odd request but one that would make sense later down the road for them, a few stumbled but thus far none have fallen when moving around the objects the slaves put out. I was told I would need to be careful of the items on the lawn and this was the route I was going to take with that, something to do with if the rocks roll so will my head. I wanted down to get up close and personal, to see for myself how quick they moved and what agility they could show.

I made my way back down the steps and over the floor quietly moving things as I went past them so they didn’t form any patterns. The material was smooth to the touch, hard and strong but looked weak, I was surprised how easily I could move around them and no one had stepped on me yet. I had them all gather in a line and had them reach as far as they could in each direction. Up and squat down as far as they could go, I reached up to see if I could make contact with them, even on my tippy toes I was too short but the Harbor master had no problem with it.

I stepped back and turned to the Slaver I will take 4 of them, the two blondes, the bald one and the one with one eye. Have them brought to me along with the equipment to the large Compound of Volstagg, I will have the debt paid before they arrive. Oh and supplies of food and a sleeping mat will be needed, we will be camping out this entire time

says to ALL: He looked at me as if I lost my ever loving mind, little did he know, I didn’t have any left to lose!. I merely gave a small nod of my cloth covered head before I swept out into the night and headed down to the warehouse Sapphire owned. It wasn’t far for me to grab the coins and my other satchel, it was going to be a busy night and I wouldn’t have time to dally with wondering where everything is. I was humming softly as I strolled back down the boardwalk, noticing the wagon with the supplies put in the back, a few female slaves ran off to get the mats and extra food needed as the males enslaves were kneeling and waiting for my return. I gave the Slaver his coins as well as the Harbor master before I shoo’ed them both out assuring them I would be fine. It didn’t take long before the knock on the door was heard and city soldiers entered looking hard at the mens faces while each getting a coin from me

these city guards know your faces now, as does the harbor Master. If you attempt to leave the town before the work is completed your heads will be on the pikes. The second shift guards will be coming by the Villa later to know your faces too, easier we just make that clear right off the bat

I gave the guards a small nod and then tossed me a wink before leaving and heading off to spend the coin on some whores and sul paga waiting for them. I walked back to the men and moved to the first, slowly pulling a small knife out and lifting it to his neck. the edge slides ever so gently along his throat before reaching up to the rope collar and removing it, tucked in my pocket for now. I went to each of the men, doing the same thing before I stepped back and motioned them to rise as I spoke

I prefer you didn’t kneel before me and that you call me Peasant. I am freeing you now and the work will be payment to leave the town alive. You have tonight and a silver each, eat, bathe and whatever else you need to before you arrive at the Villa in the morning. then your real talents will be put to work and you wont stop til the task is completed

I turned leaving them to think I had to be utterly insane but I didn’t look back to the now free men and instead headed to the wagon to look at the stilts again. I couldn’t image being able to walk and work in those, I cant hardly image ever being brave enough to try them on but they were cool to look at and so I did for a moment or so longer before heading out to my wagon parked outside the Compound

[-Volstagg's Compound-]
A secluded Compound behind the Hall of Sulport. The compound itself is mostly hidden by two large warehouses. A guarded iron gate sits between them, leading into the bottle neck entrance of the compounds garden. The building is erected around the edge of the concrete garden on a square foundation, offering space and privacy to all within its walls.

says to ALL: I walked quickly through town needing to have everything in place for their arrival, I had it already laid out mentally how I wanted everyone to sleep. A guy in each direction with me in the center and then fire surrounding us all at night. would make it safe enough I could sleep with one eye open instead of both, I didn’t want the men staying at my place and at least this way if I am slaughtered in my sleep by them a blood trail will be evident. I tried not to give it much more thought as I moved towards my wagon humming softly, still smiling excited with what tomorrow will bring. My steps were light and joyful and a sigh slips from my lips. I loved to work, I didn’t much care what I was doing as long as I was doing something to keep me busy.

I seen the food and mats arrived so I moved down the driveway and began to lay out the mats there, deciding on spacing and how far I wanted everyone to be from each other. It was odd picking spots where I had to think about was this rock there before or where can he put his head without knocking something over. I wanted to make sure none slept on the wagon trail and risked getting run over at night or stepped on when guards roamed the land. I ahd switched it around at least a dozen times before I gave up on the idea of having a fire in the middle and would just need to sleep with an extra layer on instead. With the wagons back end filled with wood I got the fires built but not started yet. I was still not sure about them and was moving them back further before I was sure I wouldn’t catch anyone on fire with them. I sat in the middle, surrounded by dim lights and shadows, shifting and turning to face in each direction til I was sure it was right

I rose to gather a few things, my mat and fur, extra clothes and some water. I wasn’t going to wait and see if anyone arrived tonight, a small fire was started to my right to give some warmth and light, I was wiped out, tired from all the thinking and planning. I didn’t last long as the last yawn about knocked me out, ended my

says to ALL: I moved slowly back and forth as I held the lantern up over the piece of wood I was working on, the men had spent the day carefully removing the trim from around the windows a spotters from the ground made sure they were careful with their steps. I wasn’t ready to end the day when the sun set forcing me to head to the Hut and gather as many lanterns as I could round up, I had them mostly hanging in a circle while the men enjoyed their meal. The real painting out begin tomorrow, the entire day of trim and scrubbing and roughing up the boards had to be done, else I wouldn’t get that perfect finish. I listened quietly as the men talked about where they would head to after this, I don’t think any were from here. I was still humming softly when one walked over to see how it was coming along. they had set up work stations for me to work nails out and sand a bit before painting

dishes are done, we will bring some more over and get sanding if you want to paint.. Peasant

I glanced up for a moment with a bright smile on my delicate features, midnight eyes filled with delight at not having to sand and I stepped back rubbing my hands together a bit. I was without veils and robes tonight, enjoying the leathers I made and having my hair down having all but melted earlier today from the heat.

sounds lovely, I will grab a bite as you guys get everything here

I turned and headed to the pan still near the fire, there was plenty of food so I wasn’t worried about anything before left. I tossed the meat on some bread and began to make my rounds, needing to ensure none of the rocks were disturbed, I took a little tour of the garden with the lantern in one hand and the sandwich in the other. None of the tools were left out and you could barely tell anyone had been there earlier on stilts

says to ALL: I finished the food off just as I arrived back at the fire, I didn’t like to eat with others, I tend to just inhale the food and think, sometimes murmur my thoughts aloud. I seen the men had a bunch of the trim sanded and sitting to the side as they began more pieces. I wiped them down and got the pail of paint plus brushes brought over, I didn’t use a drop cloth sure of my hand at painting something so easy. I was so thankful I only had to do the bottom section of the Villa. Buying different height stilts makes it so my feet never have to leave the ground.

says to ALL: It was the last night outside the Villa, the painting was completed and it was just clean up duty now. we had the barrels already taken to the docks and the trim was put back in place today with only touch up paint needed where the nails were. I had one stone in my hand as I watched the men take the tools to the wagon and tack them according to the fashion I preferred. With the work done I returned to my usual city clothing of veils and robes, I was eager to get back out to my Hut and join the rest of the Peasants in the usual harvesting of the suls and my swing, I have missed that so very dearly.

The men whos debt I purchased were given their walking papers yesterday, I was no longer worried about them not finishing the job, they were a great crew, I honestly will miss them. I heard from the Harbor Master that they were picking up night shifts, making coin when possible to help pay their way back home. I wished them the best as they began to fill up the wagon and head it towards the docks, anything that was mine was in the cart I was picking up the tethers of to haul back deeper into town and then home. I had tucked the rock away in a pocket for now forgetting about its purpose and merely looking at the great job they did. I only worked from the ground to arm reach while the rest were on stilts tending to the tall stuff. I turned from the Villa sure that my debt was repaid in the bet I made and I returned to getting something done with the garden of mine but picking up supplies along the way

bet paid
