What with recent logging expeditions and reconstruction efforts in the wake of the floods, the Shire's treeline is looking a bit thinner. We could use your expertise in finding particularly promising new areas to harvest quality woods.
Task One ~ Finest Quality Lumber- Lead an expedition further afield than the Shire to gather 10,000 boards of oak or higher quality woods.
- Take at least 3 guardsmen to ensure your own safety and that of your pack ponies.
- Make sure to take a rest with food and refreshments at some point in your journey.
- Make detailed notes on the type and quality of lumber you find.
Task Two ~ Many Hands Make Light Work- Use some of the lumber you've collected, some banner cloth and torches or lanterns, and perhaps something to snack on, to set up a cozy crafter's stall in New Haven.
- Offer your services and advice to the craftsfolk and young apprentice warriors who train there... and put in a good word for Cove while you do.
- Make a good showing of it and take at least 3 other Covian civilians with you.
- You'll need to spend at least three-quarters of an hour there, although the longer you stay the better, of course.
Take down some sketches and report how you get on below.
Wishing you the best of luck,
