Cog,

I am most pleased with your prints. They are not as I imagined them to be, but are in fact better in a number of ways. I am glad for your help.

I must meet with you again regarding plans for the actual construction. I am hoping that we can begin laying the foundations shortly. Until then, health and happiness, friend.

Michael,

I'm glad you liked them! I'm not sure if in fact you are asking me to perform the task of head engineer for construction of the temple, but if you are, I'll happily volunteer my services for the project.

Once planned, I find that my truest satisfaction comes from seeing a project grow from an idea to a completed work. It only seems natural to me.

Counting the ticks to your reply, Cog

Cog,

Consider the job yours. Now I must continue to see to the funding of it. As I see it we have reached about half the necessary funds for the building.

Would you ever suggest starting before the funds are fully in place? The reason I ask is that I think if people begin to see the building go up, they may be more willing to contribute donations and time. Let me know what you think.

Health and happiness, friend.

Michael,

Well, in my experience, you have to pay for materials up front, but you may be able to make a contract deal with a clan of Duergar stonemasons from outside of Sanctuary whereby they arent paid until work is completed.

Seeing as I am now the head engineer of this project, I'll make some inquiries.

Cog

Cog,

Thank you. I will try to set up a time to meet with them.
