Quarter MaintenanceAs assigned I got to work handing out fresh bedroll, and new torches to the militia members. The provisioner in Cove seems to be a bit over priced, but he claims it's due to the fact that not many merchant ships take port in Cove.
Once I had acquired the bedroll and torches, I tried to round up some of the militia members to hand out the new equipment. It was rather hard going. Only two guards actually came forward to claim their fresh bedrolls. Several others I approached seemed to not want to give up their old stinky bedrolls for fresh ones. The torches went quickly, apparently Covians want to see in the dark but don't care what they smell like.
In the end, I raided the bunk room and colleted all the stinking old bedrolls I could find, and replaced them with the fresh bedrolls.
When I started checking on the barracks braziers I discovered that most of them were nearly burnt out and rather ashy. Instead of just re-filling the braziers I went ahead and dumped out the old ash and re-filled the braziers with fresh coal, using embers from the main hearth to re-light the braziers. Happy to report that all nine of the barracks' braziers should be in good shape for the coming week.
