Whilst Circe could have politely built the bridge with everyone else's help, she was not a civil engineer. She was quite rude. That, and it was faster working alone in her opinion on such things. Cheats and all.

The primary thing had been all the lumber to create the small bridge and there wasn't a lot of space to work with. This was easier for the Summer Queen. Not like it'd be hard lifting and moving it into place either.

No, what had to be nailed down in the dark of the tunnels was the literal nails. And some screws. Rivets for a more permanent structure.

1.5 hours


Which was why the tunnel was filled with the sounds of hammering, Italian cusses, and the occasional squeak from a curious little rat. Circe was serious about burning them out, or killing them for trade to the Amborisal Market. Meat was meat to hobs after all.

For now, the 7' by 19' wooden bridge was made, and quite nicely so. Advantage of her multi-tool, anything could be worked with it. This bridge however even had some extra designs on it's four corners. Extra stability with step 3 at the end.

The elf was sure it would hold up for a few years at least, even without any trusses upon it. She didn't feel a temporary bridge was truss worthy.

Circe smirks, figuring out a way to use THAT line later when others were present. Looking down into the ditch she declares, "Because you dirty rats won't appreciate it. Step 2, then three, then shower."

Next there was the little matter of two last things. Get it in place. Secure it.

Ow


The elf was covered in sweat, sore, and needing water. Possibly some Ben-gay later too. Yet there was still one thing left to do. Four last things to put in place where they'd been designed for this bridge.

Circe heads to the second wheel barrel she'd brought down, hand upon the hefty items in question. It was a matter of moments, and some heavy breathing, to put the 50 lbs bar bell weights on the four corners of the bridge. Yes it was only 200 lbs to secure it for now, but it was a temporary structure. Circe could live with that.

The elf was good to hydrate first, then she'd fuck off to the pharmacy. Ointment for sour muscles, bridges were heavy man.
