155. Rowan's Level-up (2)

The panel faded away soon enough and it was time for work to get started.

Hester looked at the workers.

"You heard Rowan. Move the stone to the gate. Bring the clay from the lower shed. And send two people with shovels to mark the relief cut. Nobody steps past the stake."

The workers moved immediately.

Carlos watched them carry the first stones. They were not troops. They were not using a system skill. But they knew how to work together, and that was making the repair look possible already.

Rowan stopped one worker before he could place a stone directly against the gate.

"Not there. We need that space open until the old frame comes out. Put them behind the marker."

The worker changed direction without complaint.

Carlos helped carry smaller clay sacks with Hester's crew. He was not needed for the heavy stones, but standing aside while Rowan worked made him feel useless.

After a while, Rowan looked at him.
