Benefits and Detriments-Ashen Expansion

After giving the others the floor, Bowen listened to their observations of the area. The young red boy noted the fishing that could be done and suggested stringing a net across the river. The small caramel fae nodded. "That would be a beneficial tactic for the more narrow parts of the river. Well done." She complimented the boy, then looked to the blue man. He mentioned the vegetation drawing prey and again Bowen nodded. "Absolutely. Ample prey will keep the pack fed and will provide meat and skins for trade. As for the bridge," Viridian eyes scanned up and down the river, "Beneficial for Ashen, but it could also be used as a more direct route for enemies. Just something to consider."

The woman spoke next, mentioning her worries about flooding and the difficult terrain. "Aye, the bridge would need to be elevated enough to avoid the flowing river during the rainy season. As for the rocks and whatnot, the areas that will be frequented could be cleaned up and leveled out." Natural declines down to the waters edge could be stoned and stepped so that wolves could easily make their way to the edge of the water.

Eyes closed for a moment and Bowen took a deep breath. Ears perked, listening to the far off gobble of a turkey in the area. "Plenty of birds as well. Meat for eating and feathers for crafting." Bowen opened her eyes once more. "Anything else? Do you believe choosing this territory is wise?" She was curious whether or not they would choose this land or another and why.
