Have the troops behave according to the letter key. guarding the unwilling miners, and the hard task of getting them to work at their optimum rate will be difficult problems for the taskmaster. Miners have tools, which make quite efficient weapons, so 1 comparable guard per 4 CONSTRUCTION & SIEGE workers is about the minimum. Slave or unwilling labor is from 50% to 80% as efficient, depending on how many foremen are on hand to watch and drive the UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION laborers. If 1:16, efficiency is 50%, if 1:12 it is 60%, 1:8 means 70%, and 1:4 brings efficiency to 80% normal. Thus, for every 4 unwilling miners there must As Dungeon Master you will be interested in the subject of dungeon building be a guard and a supervisor. Of course, if ogres were doing the work, the for two reasons. Most important is the work which will take place in various guard and the task master would have to be equal to ogres in hit dice/power underground settings you devise for your players. Work will probably be in — 4th level fighters or ogres, or comparable, for example. progress prior to their venturing into the labyrinth, during the course of their adventures therein, and even after they have moved on to some other project or CONSTRUCTION TIME task.

  • Roodstown Castle Video Script
    Roodstown Castle Adèle Commins and Daithí Kearney Roodstown Castle is a prominent feature of the built heritage of Co. Louth. Its excellent state of preservation gives it added stature and it provides an excellent example of a tower house in Ireland. National records provide an interesting account of the change of name of the townland of Roodstown since 1301. Over the years the following variants of the name existed: Rotheston (1301), Routheston (1305), Rotheston (1582), Roothstowne (1635), Roothtowne (1655), Roothestowne (1658), Roods towne (1659), Rootstowne (1664), Roodestowne (1666), Roodstowne (1667), Roothstowne (1670), Roothtown (1685), Rootstown (1777), Roodstown (1836). At this time it was noted that Rooth was a family name.1 The 1837 Topographical Dictionary of Ireland noted that the townland contained 25 houses at the time with 148 inhabitants and described it as a village.2 This dictionary also suggested that the townland was called Rootstown or Ruthstown. In the Barony of Ardee and Civil Parish of Stabannan, the townland of Roodstown is surrounded by a number of other townlands including Gudderstown, Rock, Broadlough, Drumcashel, Philibenstown and Irishtown. Roodstown Castle is the most prominent structure today in the townland. The castle overlooks the N33 and the River Dee and is an imposing feature in the landscape visible today from a number of surrounding roads including the N52 and N33. Roodstown Castle is positioned on the roadside at a junction. To the right of the castle is Ardee and to the left of the castle is Stabannan. In days gone by this was the main road from Ardee to Castlebellingham.

  • December 1904
    tlbe VOL XVI. DECEMBER, 1904. No. 6. CHANTILLY CASTLE. 'X every country there are a certain number of resi- dences palaces or castles which are known to all, whose names are bound up with the nation's story, and which are representative, if I may use the term, of the different periods of civilization through which they have come down to us. The picturesque outlines of their towers, balustrades and terraces illus- trate and embellish the pages of history. They tell us of the private life of those who for a short while have occupied the world's stage, showing us what were those persons' ideas of comfort and luxury, their artistic tastes, how they built their habitations and laid out their parks and gardens. Thus these edifices belong to the history of architecture using this word not in its strict meaning of con- struction, but in that of mother and protectress of all the plastic arts. They evoke a vanished past, a past, however, of which we are the outcome. One cannot look without emotion upon such ancient and historical edifices as those at Blois, Fontainebleau, Versailles and Chantilly, not to mention others. Ibis article proposes to deal with Chantilly Castle, in order to show the parts it has successively played in French history during the last four hundred years. Chantilly was never a royal residence. In the sixteenth century it belonged to one of the leading families of France, the Montmorencys, and from the seventeenth to a ;'younger branch of the royal family, viz., the Conde branch. Its 'history is as dramatic as the history of France itself, being, in fact, 'an epitome of the latter.

  • Fortification of the Medieval Fort Isar – Shtip
    Trajče NACEV Fortification of the Medieval Fort Isar – Shtip UDK 94:623.1(497.731)”653” University “Goce Delcev” Stip [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: The medieval fort Isar, which was built on top of the ruins of the antique town of Astibo, is located on the hill with a North-South orientation in the central city core. The fortification had its largest increase during the 14th century and from this period we have the best preserved architectonic remains of the fortification. The entire fort is surrounded by fortification walls, with the main entrance in their eastern portion. The suburbs are located on the eastern and southern slopes of the Isar hill. At the highest part (the acropolis) there was another, smaller fortification, probably a feudal residence with a remarkable main tower (Donjon). The article reviews the fortification in the context of the results from the 2001 – 2002 and 2008 – 2010 excavation campaigns. During the first campaign, one of the most significant discoveries was the second tower, a counterpart to the main Donjon tower, and the entrance to the main part of the acropolis positioned between them. With the second 2008 – 2010 campaign, the entire eastern fortification wall of the Isar fort was uncovered. Key words: fortification, fort, curtain wall, tower. The medieval fort Isar (Fig. 1) (Pl. 1) that sprouted on the ruins of the ancient city Astibo, is located on a dominant hill between the Bregalnica river from the north and west and Otinja from the south and east, in the downtown core, in the north –south direction.

White At Avengers Academy, where veterans like Hank Pym and Tigra teach younger heroes in the ways of Avengerdom, one of the required courses is Superhuman Ethics Class. In this class, superpupils are presented with ethical dilemmas that crop up in the day-to-day “routine” of an Avenger, and then they are asked how they would handle them and why. We may recoil at the thought of Hank Pym teaching this class—the poster child for “Do what I say, not as I’ve done myself time and time again”— but such a class is essential to teach young heroes how to exercise the great responsibility that comes with great power.1 If you ask me, the most obvious teachers for Superhuman Ethics Class would be Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor, who were christened the “Avengers Prime” in a recent miniseries.2 I’m not claiming that these three are necessarily the most 5 cc01.indd01.indd 5 225/01/125/01/12 22:55:55 PPMM 6 MARK D.
