a few days pass since hornsy got back home. Hobbs has savant training with his sword, while Ruka, wally Mc Wallington and hornsy begin the planning of their city. Iron Sand City.

iron Sand City is to be designated into 4 sectors:

the 1st, near the front, is commoner housing
the 2nd, being businesses in the centre
the 3rd, guarded by a wall, is the higher class houses. it also has a unique slave market system (for simplicity's sake, I won't get into until later in the story, but it involves taking down the slave market)
and the 4th being storage, production and the mayor's house, an ancient science lab

Ruka: huh, it's rather symmetrical

wally Mc Wallington: looks like a butt

hornsy: sigh why does everything I make look either phallic, lewd or wrong in so many ways

Ruka: it's not your fault

hornsy: thanks

Ruka: it's your perverted brain that's at fault

hornsy: w...but...well...you kinda have a point

Ruka: well anyway, the construction will take forever, and the materials, if not sourced locally, will cost a large number of cats, even with your incoming 100k

hornsy: yea, I guess I should go back out looking for more

wally Mc Wallington: I suggest Narko's trap, its a fort owned by the HN, but it has a lab filled with valuables

hornsy: huh, use the spiders to attack the guards and sneak inside looting the place and the spiders=double profits!

Ruka: sigh you just got back, and now you're heading out again?

hornsy: when there's profit to be made, almost all avenues are available, and besides, I made a promise to my bro that ill help him with his big project 

Ruka: and yet you still haven't filled us in on this "secret project" which might just be code for leaving us and going on adventures

hornsy: and what gave you the idea I would do something like that, as I said I always keep my promises

wally Mc Wallington: that or Ruka is worried that you might get killed

Ruka: incredibly embarrassed w-what?! why would you say s-something so, so ridiculous, i-i know the boss can handle h-himself, so its nothing to worry about

Hornsy: "really?" face.EXE

Ruka: still embarrassed w-well, you're the one who got me out of there, and without you, I wouldn't have met everyone here, even though some of them are idiots

wally Mc Wallington: im guessing im one of them?

Ruka: that's a stupid question

wally Mc Wallington: :)

Ruka: you're the worst 

Hornsy: PFFFFFFFF, classic Ruka

Ruka: w-what does that suppose to mean?!

Hornsy: its nothing, let's get back TO MAKING THE GREATEST CITY THIS WASTELAND HAS EVER SEEN!!!!

Ruka: su..sure


meanwhile in Admag

shek messenger: so in conclusion, this one-man saved an entire city along with taming one of the 2 great gorrilos. I must ask, what would the great stone golem to reward him

Esata the Stone Golem: even though this took place in UC territory this shek's heroism, and leadership is something to be rewarded, ready an escort, I wish to meet this shek myself

Seto: of course my queen


over at Heft,  Emperor Tengu is having a feast with the other lords of the noble circle

Emperor Tengu: so...takes bite out of goat leg...this shek saved your...swallow...city from them south bugs

Lord Shiro: of course, although he's not like other shek though

Lady Sanda: ah, so he's an outcast trying to regain his honour?

Lord Shiro: from an outside view, yes, but after speaking with him twice he's rather...odd for a shek

Emperor Tengu: how odd?

Lord Shiro: well for one he used the most unique tactics I've ever seen, along with convincing the locals of morn to join in along with a band of mercenaries, also apparently he's known for his charity in the south-west, helping hoards of starving bandits and offering them food and shelter in exchange for work

Emperor Tengu: he's helping those poor vagrants? HAH! that's the most hilarious thing I've ever heard, Koin get a convoy sorted, I would like to see this man, uhh...shek with my own eyes

Koin: you're heading out sir?

Emperor Tengu: yes, and while I'm gone you're in charge 


over at blister hill, the phoenix is taking a bath in a beautiful underground cavern 

Messenger: you're holiness, I bring news that both the shek and the UC leaders are heading towards an unknown base south-west of stack. apparently a demon there claims to be the one responsible for saving the city of catun, most likely after causing the siege

phoenix: hmmm, ready a squad of high paladins and my two high inquisitors

Messenger: it will be done, my lord


over at Bonesy's commissions

bonesy: oy, hows that new contraption going on

apprentice: its done sir, its ready to be hooked up to Grug

bonesy: fucking perfect, wait until my bro sees this, it will blow his metaphorical socks off

apprentice2: sir! just heard a rumour that the leaders of the shek, HN and the UC are heading to your brother's base

bonesy: WHAT, get grug hooked up NOW, and wheres that arm

apprentice3: ready sir hands arm to bonesy

Bonsey: good, lets ride!

and with that bonesy sets out to warn his brother, with Grug hooked up to a wheeled contraption with sacks of cats and hornsy's new arm in tow
