Four Shields Fort

Fort

CURRENTLY IN CONSTRUCTION

We just commissioned (2022-02-03) construction of a canal (10' deep, 20' wide, encircling the fortification) and a drawbridge (wooden reinforced, 10' wide, 20' long). 

Boots and Hats are overseeing the construction.

It cost 2400 gold coins and is expected to take 5 days to complete.

Current construction

Wooden fortifications surrounding the tower (akin to the roman marching camp)

  • Wooden walls surrounding the tower, 15' from the tower, except on the river side.
  • A heightened wooden tower on each corner.
  • A 20' tall and 10' wide wooden gate, reinforced and barred.
  • All constructions include stairs, platforms, etc.

CURRENT SECURITY

  • Commanders while PCs are away: Horace and Abarran.
  • 18 mercenaries (7 heavy footmen, 11 archers).

Salaries (gp/mo)

  • Heavy footmen = 7 * 3 = 21
  • Archers = 11 * 5 = 55
  • Armourer = 1 * 100 = 100
  • Total monthly = 176

CURRENT USE OF FORT

  • Tent-camps between wooden construction and fort.
  • NO sleeping or using the fort unless in dire circumstances.
  • The idea is to finish wooden construction, which will act as protection while we deal with cleanup and repair of the tower itself.

PLANNED FORT FIXUP

  • General clean-up of all levels (debris, crap, washing, etc). Peasant work, they ought to be happy with a copper or silver coin for the month.
  • Surveying of all construction.
  • Repair and reinforce general construction. Unknown cost.
  • Equip with living stuff.
  • Unknown cost, but Boots and Hats could do surveying given they are dwarves, and peasants can start with the cleanup.
