30th of Kythorn - Rebuilding

Over the past several tendays, the peaceful folks of Grey's Deep have been hard at work repairing the damage done by the strange "rain of rocks". It has taken them all month, but now all the wooden buildings have either been successfully repaired or rebuilt from the ground up.

The necessary wood for these projects and the demand from the fence project has stressed the lumbermill to its limit. It is currently down for repairs. This has set the expected docks repairs back until next spring. The fishermen aren't happy about this, but they understand where the priorities are. For now, they'll make due with the boat landing near the southern edge by the river. The docks have been roped off and people are warned not to go near them.

Not all the buildings are fully repaired from the damage however. The Temple of Lathander was constructed primarily out of stone and mortar. The damage done from the boulders severely damaged sections of the church and parts had to be levelled for safety. The most affected areas were the living quarters and meditation chambers for the priests. Luckily, the altar and communal area were mostly spared from the assault and were made available to the public almost immediately. It has taken the entire month of Kythorn to rebuild the damaged foundations and outer walls. Oddly, the Priests have recently forbade anyone from assisting with the reconstruction efforts located inside. They claim it is the will of Lathander that they tend to it themselves. With enough work to do already, the townsfolk are more than happy to let them handle this project on their own.

In other news, the town jailhouse has been rebuilt, and reinforced. Deputy Makus Donhelm was officially sworn in as the new town Sheriff today. Until recently he was acting as the temporary Sheriff until the City Council made a decision on who Jacer Varuin successors would be. With the Jailhouse now complete, they felt it was a good time to make the news official.

Enin Rayod (the town alchemist and scribe) and Seraph have spent many hours during the past month looking over the rocks, trying to decern how they fell from the sky. Their research has shown that no magical aura was detected on any of them and all were roughly shaped and not machined. They did find on some of the larger pieces 3 long grooves carved out on one side, but they aren't sure if this is natural or not.

Jode and Vig led parties into the nearby hillsides to see if they could determine what happened. After several days of searching, they found a rockslide about a mile up the trail headed south into the mountains. This rockslide appeared to have large boulders torn from them. It is believed that the rocks which fell from the sky, came from this rockslide. How, is another question that is yet unanswered.

The town also greeted the return of Caurus and Jellen from their mysterious training in the forest. Both looked extremely tired yet seemed to show a greater confidence in themselves. After a short exchange of words, they ushered Jode and Vig off for their turn with Nimbus.

All in all, things have been very quiet and calm in the past 30 days. No one is sure if this trend will continue, but all are hoping it will.
