Gristle was so happy with his new foot. He could wiggle his toes! The healer had insisted that he sit back and relax for a few hours and not walk on it, but really, it already felt better. And it looked better! The rest of his skin was a dark red, seamed with old scars and still recovering from his emergency wake up. But the newly healed foot was pink and smooth. Maybe he should break the other foot?The adventurers had left him here in a comfortable spot with a cool drink and several tasty muffins. He hadn't eaten anything except meat in ages. The muffins were a glorious change. He decided to take their advice and relax while they straightened things up a bit.

"What do you think, Ben?" Ozzy was staring at the walls of piled stone that comprised a building that was barely standing.Ben shook his head, "Can't fix something that broken. I say we tear down the walls and rebuild it. We have an abundance of ruins around and no lack of better stone. I'd like to lift the roof though, to save work. The trusses are intact and braced on those two long beams. If we lift the four corners, we can clear out the old walls, rebuild the corners, and set the roof back." He scanned the ruined buildings around him. "It would be even better if we had pillars to use on the corners."Ozzy looked over at Runt, who was enjoying himself by doing nothing at all, "Hey, Runt, are there any nearby buildings that used to have stone columns? Or does the stockyard have any good wood we could use?"Runt thought for a second, "Just my advice, but don't take anything from the stockyard. If you take apart a pen, even an empty one, it might fill up later and we'd have critters running all over. But there was a temple over that way. It was at the edge of one of the big hunting preserves that became the Beastwoods. It was mostly made of big white pillars."Suzette came out of the guild hall with an armful of cleavers, chains, and old knives. She dumped them into a pile on the ground, "I like the idea of tearing the thing down. Ben and I can clean out anything worth keeping. You four can run over to the ruin and drag back some pillars."She paused for a moment, "And I have a cantrip I think would help. I thought it was useless at first, but maybe not. Take a look."
