[quote=Jangel13] Angelo nodded a little and gave a small smile to her business laugh once she was finished he stated "my campers are already on their way to guard the front gate, the water area, and the forest area since those are the most likely places they would try to attack from, we will have them stationed their while you get those constructs up and running. we will keep watch however my cabin isn't large enough to guard them effectively so they will need a few more bodies to help keep watch, we wont need a lot but if we want this to be done quicker I will need some campers to give my guys some extra eyes on the campsite. When your ice constructs are finished my brother and I had an idea for using salts on their torches to act as a relief signal in case the guards on patrol will need to rest and recuperate for a few hours before going on patrol again." [/quote] Nevea thought for a bit about the salt idea, trying to figure how exactly that would help as a relief signal. In a brief and nearly uncaught moment of insane thought, one in particular crossed her mind, that maybe whomever they sent the relief signal could taste the salt. This was utterly insane and disappeared moments after it came. Not being able to think of anything clear and slightly sane, she asked. "What, exactly, would salt do?" she asked, a slight hint of exasperation in her voice, the reason of which, if you didn't know the context, could not be understood. [quote=Krein] Seth was pleased Nevea was also one to think ahead by further encouraging a demigod defense to accompany the constructs they'd be mentioned. He didn't laugh along of course, as he was never one to break the seriousness of his attitude around others. Oh, he had forgot to mention some of the other effects his crystals would produce, so he promptly did so as soon as Nevea finished explaining the effects of her ice."Almost forgot. I can grant my crystals additional effects to compliment the ice shards Nevea's ice will be creating. If you've heard the stories of what I can do with my magic, you should have a general idea of what I can channel through my own creations."Angelo spoke up afterwards and talked about how he would need more bodies in order to have a more efficient team. Seth had a great idea for that: the children of Mars and Apollo. They were some of the best fighters and archers of the camp respectively, and the latter would definitely be good at spotting threats from far away."If you need more bodies," he told Angelo, "I recommend you speak to the Mars and Apollo children. I do specify Mars, as his children are known to be more disciplined and level-headed than those of his other aspect. Unless of course you know of any children of Ares that have surpassed their childish tendencies to show off, they'd be wise to bring along." [/quote] Nevea nodded as Seth addressed them on the complement of her ice and his crystals, while a few thoughts about what they could do flashing through her mind before she continued to listen. She let out a barely-audible scoff at Seth's last comment, and then began to speak. "Once we're finished with this meeting, I suggest you gather Mars and Apollo immediately," she said. The author was careful not to use a redundant saidism, although he nearly put it in there just for kicks. "That way you can form a defence force as quickly as possible." For a good length of the meeting, she had been running through ideas on how she and Seth could form the turrets such that the Hephestan creations needed not be fused in any way. She had found one very good one that would hopefully work well, and so she called for a paper and imparted her idea. "Now, since, as I said before, we cannot fuse your creations with mine and Seth's, I've come up with a way to make your mechanisms separate, although still touching." She waved her hand and ice began to form on the paper to demonstrate. She first made the outlines of two shafts. The inner sides, that is, the sides that were nearer to each other, were touching, but the outer sides didn't touch, leaving a square with no outlines. "We can place the construct on some sort of rotating mechanism that will follow monsters." She placed her finger to the shaft leading upwards. "Through this shaft, you can extend the mechanism to here-" she placed her finger on the non-existent square area. "-Where you can make the firing mechanism for the shards of ice that my constructs can form. And of course you can control this all from the rotation mechanism. My construct can form ice shards almost instantly, unless the humidity is rather low, in which case it'll take a bit to gather enough." She stopped here and waited to see if Seth would add anything.
