The next morning Eddie was up bright and early. After grabbing a quick breakfast, fresh from the baker's efforts, he had the stable boy hook up the ox to the cart. He scratched the critter's head, having discovered that the pseudo ox liked that, then headed out. He had lumber here and near the smithy. He was going to start by hauling all of that out into the field. Then he'd start building.

He was hoping that Paul would volunteer some raw planks for the effort. When they'd swiped a few logs the day before Eddie had noticed that Paul had a substantial stock of them. If not, he'd go ahead and buy some also, maybe ask for donations from some of the adventurers he was building the wall to protect as well so he could get more.

He'd gone ahead and purchased the blueprint for the wall as well as the one for the wooden defensive tower he'd been perusing when Opron had interrupted him. Now he pulled out the one for the wall, then stopped.

I wanted Dominic's input, so I'll need to wait for him, Eddie thought.

He'd been up early enough that a second breakfast sounded like a good idea. He knew Dominic would show up at the inn for breakfast too so that seemed like the best option to him. He glanced around the field, noticing how torn up it was at the far end where the goblins had been attacking.

If only Karl were here, maybe he could set up some traps out there, assuming he knows how. But I bet there are other scouts or even thieves in the area. Maybe I could recruit them to do it?

When he got to the inn he overheard a pair of the daytime adventurers complaining. They were waiting for two party members who'd gotten killed, but whose spawn point was back in Brightport.

Well crap, something else I forgot, Eddie thought.

He quickly went into his settings for his land. When he'd been looking the last time he'd noticed an option he could toggle on. Now he turned it on. What he'd just done would allow anyone to set their spawn point to the inn, without pushing a notification on him to approve them.

He approached the two adventurers and cleared his throat.

“Sorry, I couldn't help overhear. Would you like to set a spawn point closer?” he asked.

“Love to, but where?” one asked.

“Uh, I meant to do this before, but forgot. If you go outside you can set your spawn point on my land here. Just don't do it inside or things could get interesting if we're busy when you respawn.”

The man's eyes opened wide. He immediately stood up and raced out the door. The other adventurer followed him more slowly. A moment later Eddie heard a gleeful cackle from outside.

He walked over to the door and called out to the two who had just reset their spawn point.

“Spread the word on that, would you? Anyone can set it here now if they want.
