The 100th Day

It's been 100 days since The Great Lycian Expedition (aka Lavia's Looters, aka The Chosen People Of Queen Stot) set out from Skor. This might be a good time to catch up on some friends you've made, and how they're doing
==== Svetlana and Leventon Oleg ====
The Oleg's (and their trading post) have come a long way. Svetlana now has a nice array of cooking and leatherworking tools, and Oleg's spruced up the post with plenty of fresh timber and linen. The pair are some thousand gold richer than they were, and have started to dress as nicely as their Forgeborn sensibilities will allow. 
The time has come to expand the trading post. Its current dimensions are 120'x90', far too small for its dozen occupants. There's enough flat ground to safely expand to 240'x180, doubling the length of the walls and quadrupling the available are. While this is certainly excessive, the Oleg's believe they'll see a solid return on the investment in the coming months. For now, the original buildings will remain, although they plan to expand upon those later as well. To aid them in their efforts, they've hired a Glodsson Heavy Industries archictect by the name of Glom Sunkissed.
==== Glom Sunkissed ====
Glom's middle aged (for a dwarf), and his brittle bones and weak constitution has kept him out of his dreams of masonry. He's hoping to hone his craft as a journeyman before opening his own workshop in Rootskewered. Once he's happy with his measurements, he'll have wood and laborers delivered from Brevoy. He estimates the project will be completed by the 130th day. Outside of work, Glom enjoys studying history and games of strategy, which is why he ended up in the Forge in the first place. 
==== Gamble ====
Still a horse.
==== Larrel, Viessa, Tallia (the elven farmers) ====
The crops are coming along at a good rate. So far most of the crops have been root vegetables and gallowberry vines, which will be ready to harvest in early summer. Some milkteeth are also going in, although they're going to take a few months before even a small harvest. The farmers themselves are enjoying the freedom and relaxed attitude in Lycia, although they keep to themselves. There's talk about them travelling to see the Procession when it passes next.
==== Kresten Bronzeborn, and his guard. ====
Kresten has kept up with his training, although his distance from the Forge and proximity to Happs has begun to show. He has let his red hair and beard grow out, and his language has swapped some of its highborn formality for simple curses. With Oleg's stock and trade beginning to expand, so too has he expanded the scope and quantity of his drinking.
Konstant is the only one of his guard who can keep up with him in either steel or liquor, and Aberdeenian woman is training harder than everyone else, desperate to not be outpaced by her captain, or a certain adventurer.
Aleksi, Zyg and Donni rotate between patrolling with Kresten and Happs, and occasionally guard caravans between Oleg's and the Crossing in an attempt to improve the area's reputation.
==== Happs, and his band. ====
Happs is still the strongest and most wiley of the ex-bandits, although his lack of charisma or imagination hamper his ability to lead in the way Kresten can. His crew remain loyal to him, and morale is high. They get all the thrills of hunting and living the frontier lifestyle they so enjoy, without any clouds like Kressel or the Stag Lord looming over their heads. Happs and Tobias are dating in a reserved, forgeborn kind of way, much to Moira's delight and Magnus's disappointment. Sara, the foul-mouthed bandit who fought Osman when they first met, has been inspired by Illyah's Bowbism, and is honing her own faith and biting insults.
Magnus is still very beautiful, and does naked kinesthetics out front of the fort each morning, and so far no thylacines have eaten him.
==== Roark ====
Still drumming. He is strong and talented, but lacks and real drive to improve himself. Perhaps with the right muse or motivation he could become a powerful battle-bard, but for now he's content to drum, eat, and drum while eating.
==== Sins ====
It's very good to be Sins, and it's now even better. With the increased trade, Sins is making copper pieces hand over fist, while around him the area gets safer and the work gets easier. He's not sure why people are bending over backward to give him money and safety, but he doesn't feel like asking.
