Aunderli 2844 The Council had been assembled since the early hours to discuss the problems plaguing both Hospital and University. Several solutions had been forwarded. Standing up Advisor Erwec had just started to advise those assembled when a Soldier came bursting through the Council doorway. "Mylords terrible news a gigantic wave has hit our Southerly coast line." "Soldier, waves continually hit our coast, what was so special about this one." "Mylord it was higher then the walls of Codel, and has swamped much of our coast. I say it as my patrol reached Samande Hill, it was terrible Codel is swamped much of it knocked over as if match sticks. Fishing villages have been swept away Mylord it was as if the gods themselves had swept their arms against our coast." Taking charge Aldewulf sent advisers to begin gathering Supplies, Doctors/Druids, and manpower. The remaining ones were given coastal regions under which they would take charge of rescue and clean up. Aldewulf himself took 100 men with supplies and rode swiftly to Codel, what his eyes beheld shook him to the soul. Codel had been half flattened, domestic animals and people lay strewn about like discarded dolls. The survivors were too shell shocked to even help themselves. Taking charge he commandeered one of the few standing Warehouses and turned it into a medical facility. Of his Troops they were ordered to round up every able bodied man, start pilling large Pyres to Shiri and burn all corpses found. "But Mylord that would require huge amounts of timber" "Captain look around you, where do you not see huge amounts of timber" By morning the first of the relief caravans arrived and under medical guidance more permanent housing for the sick and wounded were constructed. By the end of the first week reports from along the coast were arriving revealing a horror of damage, but a Horror that could easily have been worst, fortunate indeed that Aunderli with its plentiful woodland game relied little on the sea for food thus apart from Codel no other settlements were this far South, thus escaping the Monstrous wave. As the second week arrived reports were also coming in from the Aunderli Colonies, neither were good but as before could have been worse. With the remaining fleet supplies were sent to the Confederacy and Colonies. A praise indeed that most of the fleet for security reasons had been placed in Ardos and Kentol Habour up North. Then on the Tenth day Advisor Corans approached Alderwulf. "Mylord I have a proposal which might seem cold at the moment but which may be for the betterment for the survivors later." "I like not your introduction to this proposal of yours...continue" "Well Mylord the Colonies have suffered greatly due to this wave, would it not be just and fair to provide passage to those in Aunderli itself who have lost everything in exchange for the chance to start afresh with Aunderli support in a place where memories are not so potent" "Hmm..Logically this does make sense, I shall proclaim it across Aunderli starting here, with the fleet returning next week fitted for such a project...Hmm why not. You will be in-charge Corans, our marine force shall remain with the fleet as protection." Action1 & 2 (2844 - 2849) Dealing with disaster +1 Aunderli has a well trained & practiced emergency system. ** Difficulty – Very Hard -2) I think this disaster in general was defined as a –2 for most societies) ** +1 Council is putting its whole focus on the rescue rebuilding action +1 Extra action +1 Most of the Aunderlian fleet survived unscathed thus allowing swift emergency supplies to reach those in need quickly ** -2+1+1+1+1(0+00)=+3 The forest fires and other disasters had prepared the Aunderli emergency forces well. +1 towards emergency operations and rebuilding for the next 3 years. ** Action 3&4 (2844) ** Difficulty – Very Hard -2) I think this disaster in general was defined as a –2 for most societies) **. +1 Financial incentive given to now homeless/jobless citizens +1 Fleet mostly intact and in effect carrying on what they have been doing +1 Councils approval +1 extra action 0 – People’s reluctance to be uprooted again. (first by storm and now by King, the people of Aunderli are an independent lot. Question is what other options do they have, their homes are destroyed, their jobs non-existent. Families are usually close by so no real help there as they themselves have been hit. Really they have 2 options stay and try to rebuild their lives or take up the offer of a new home w/ financial help.) +2 modifier ** -2+1+1+1+1(-+00)=+2 Those who survived the tsunami gather what they can find of their meager belongings and head towards the ships to start a new and hopefully better life. ** * NOTE:- Actions extending into this year have been put on hold until at least next year ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.
