As Ray and his clan exit, the cave Ray yells. "This is our village! We will build barracks and houses first."
"Yes, chief!" Responded the clan.
"Ok, Zek, Zel form a group of twenty. Said Ray.
"Yes, chief." Said Zek. Zel and Zek pick the twenty kobolds.
"Ok, you twenty will chop trees down and stack them. Prime can help with stacking the trees." Said Ray.
"Yes, Thorzen. Said Prime. (Telepathy).
"Line up and get your axes." Said Ray. Ray stretches his right hand and creates twenty war axes modified to chop trees.
"Yes, it worked. I can modify weapons, this should work on just about anything. Don't use these axes for battle they are only to be used for chopping trees! Understand!?" Said Ray.
"Yes, chief!" The twenty kobolds responded.
Zel handed out the axes. Zel nods.
"The rest of you head to the lakeshore." Said, Ray
"Yes, chief!" They respond.
Ray heads to the cave entrance. Ray puts his hand at the base of the cave entrance. Create. Ray imagines a door with hinges, a door handle, and a locking bolt. Liquidity mass appears and turns into a working door.
"Now that's taken care of, I'll send someone to guard this door. Said Ray.
Ray heads to the lakeshore where the others are gathered. As Ray approaches he signals for the others to gather around. The rest of the clan gather around Ray.
"Zek picks someone out to guard the cave entrance and in the future, we will have a guard rotation on the cave entrance." Said Ray.
"Yes, chief." Responds Zek.
Zek picks a short kobold with black scales. Ray creates a spear. "Come here." Said Ray.
The short black-scaled kobold steps forward and bows his head.
"Take this spear. Don't let anyone enter the cave, if something try's to come out of the cave yell for help. We don't have anything to use as a signal yet. I'll have to think of something later." Said Ray.
"Yes, chief!" Responded to the short black scaled kobold.
"Zel!" Said Ray.
"Yes, chief." Responded Zel.
"Take four kobolds and the older troglodyte kid and hunt for food. Pick kobolds that are efficient in skinning and teach the troglodyte. For now, bring the food and skins you hunt over to the house." Said Ray.
"Yes, chief." Said Zel.
"Zek make sure the trees are stacked up at the foot of that ridge." Said Ray.
"Yes chief," Said Zek.
"Return to me when your done informing them." Said Ray.
Zek nods then leave.
"You three will separate all the stuff we brought. Food at the house, weapons and gear over there by that big boulder, and all the living necessities over here next to this stump. Understand?" Said Ray.
"Yes, chief." They respond.
"The children can help with the sorting but don't overwork them let them rest if they need to."Said Ray.
Shortly after Zek returns to Thorzen.
"I'm back chief." Said Zek.
"Vert good stick with me." Said Ray.
"Yes, chief." Said Zek.
After an hour they have twenty trees stacked up. Ray heads over to the trees and assimilates his max capacity of 6200lbs. "This should be good for now." Said Ray. Ray heads east of the village near the barrier. "This will be a good spot for a barracks." Said Ray.
Ray places both hands on the ground.
"Athena activate barracks blueprint." Said Ray.
The barracks blueprint image enters Ray's mind. "Ok, this is a big building. It will house 100 clan members. Zek stands behind me." Said, Ray
Zek nods and moves behind Ray.
"Create." Said Ray. Ray concentrates on the blueprint. A liquidity mass appears at Ray's hand then expands out and takes form into the barracks. Ray concentrates and forms 100 beds, stools, and containers placed exactly where they belong.

"Zek let's go in." Said Ray. Zek nods and follows Ray in. They both enter the barracks. 9000 square feet building. Section off into 180 square feet rooms. Two-person rooms. Each room has two beds, stools, and two wood containers for storage.
"It's all right nothing fancy." Said Ray.
"It's magnificent."Said Zek.
Ray chuckles. "I'm glad you like the barracks. Ok, let's head out. Said Ray.
They both step outside of the barracks.
"Next I want to build the fortress." Said Ray.
"The Ridge will be perfect for the fortress. Said Ray. Ray and Zek head to the base of the ridge. Ray places his hand on the ground and creates stairs leading up to the top of the ridge. Ray and Zek climb the stairs and head towards the center.
"What do you think Zek, nice place for the fortress?" Asked Ray
"I don't know chief." Said Zek.
"It's ok Zek. This spot will be just fine." Said Ray.
Thorzen places both hands on the ground.
"Athena activate the fortress blueprint." Said Ray.
The fortress blueprint image enters Ray's mind.
"Wow this fortress is huge and it's only a basic fortress." Said Ray.
Ray concentrates on the barracks blueprint. "Create!" Said Ray. A liquidity mass appears at Ray's hand then expands out and takes form into the fortress. Ray concentrates and forms all of the necessities for the fortress.

"Let's go in." Said Ray. Ray and Zek go inside the fortress.
"Wow this is a huge fortress, and it's only basic! The fortress is 20,000 square feet. Two-story building with four three-story towers on each corner and a cellar and prison. What do you think Zek?"Said Ray.
"Fortress is amazing chief." Said Zek.
Ray smiles at Zek.
"Just you wait Zek everything that's being built is only basic wait until we get advanced blueprints." Said Ray.
Zek looks at Ray with eyes and mouth wide open.
Ray chuckles.
"Ok, Zek we need a storage and dining hall next." Said Ray.
Zek nods at Ray. Ray thinks to himself, "it's been over an hour since I assimilated the trees."
" Let's go Zek." Said Ray.
They head out of the fortress then head to the stocked lumber. Ray assimilates his max capacity. 6200lbs.
"Ok let's head over to the barracks." Said Ray.
Ray and Zek walk towards the barracks.
"Ok the dining hall will go across from the barracks and the storage house will be north of the two. The buildings will form a U shape. Said Ray.
Ray finishes the two buildings with the necessities.
"Let's head over to the house. I'm gonna create four more houses." Said Ray.
Ray and Zek arrive at the single house. Ray decides to line the houses parallel to each other. Five houses in one row. All the houses are identical in appearance and size and are equipped with the necessities including the first house Ray created.
"Ok, Zek that's enough creating buildings for today we will head over and check on everyone else." Said Ray.
"Yes, chief." Said Zek.
