Well it's been long enough to see that the gods' protection is holding strong. It's a nice enough camp they've provided us with but that doesn't mean it can't be fixed up a bit.

First things first, let's tackle the bathing area. The hot springs are very nice but a trifle exposed, wouldn't you say? What we need are some hangings and a way to denote when it's occupied. I'm not adverse to sharing with other women when necessary but I'd rather the men know to stay away.

I can provide the materials we'll need that the camp doesn't have, but will need someone to do the actual building. Are there any builders or carpenters with one of these mirrors that can be called upon?

Wonderful. Anything I make will have to be carried from outside the camp.

That would get tedious after awhile if I had to do it by myself.

[dragonrises]

I...from outside the camp? Well, if you insist. [blindly assuming she means felling trees or something] I can probably offer you the services of whatever men of Shu are around, as well.

[sorceress_polgara]

Even better. We'll have it done in no time then.

Thank you Lord...

[ assuming lord since he's offering help from what she understands to be a country. ]

Zhao Yun. [with a bob of his head] Commanding general of Shu, at the moment.

I must say, it's a fine idea. If more people arrive as you did, I'm sure they'll appreciate some comfort in camp.

[sorceress_polgara]

[ nods in agreement] It'll do little to make being dropped in the middle of a war more palatable, but there's no reason to suffer needlessly.

When will you and your men be available?

[dragonrises]

I am completing my scouting rounds, I would say tomorrow? We are close by, but I expect to camp tonight. In the meantime, if you see anyone wearing...ah, wait.

[he gestures to one of the soldiers near him and makes him come over, at which point Zhao Yun turns the mirror until she can see the nonplussed man in dark green standing at attention. Hopefully. How does I take video of other people...]

Can you see him? Any of the soldiers in camp wearing these tokens belong to Shu. You may tell them orders have come from Lord Zhao Yun and if they don't believe you, contact me with the mirror.

[sorceress_polgara]

[Did he just give command of his men to someone he's never met before? That's...trusting...]

Thank you, General. Do your men not have a mirror of their own?

[dragonrises]

[JUST IN THIS ONE THING geez. He'll correct that oversight later]

No, the mystics have provided them to [PCs] officers and newcomers only. So, if they question your direction, allow me to set it straight. I will be there tomorrow to do so in person if need be.
