Breach uses his 2 cross class ranks in knowledge(architecture/engineering) to assess the temple foundation to see if there’s a way to destabilize it with minimal effort.

Define minimal effort?

There is no lynch pin or keystone that can be removed and cause it to collapse.

It is now evening, just between 7 and 8.

The camp is quiet and empty except for you and the sound of Breach breaking things.

There are two to three hours of light left, although its cloudy and getting dim.

Kes and five of the Horarians have been moved to huts and are resting.

Where do you place the dead one?

Is it traditional among Horarians to be buried?  If so, Oz will offer to eulogize the dead and help bury him.  If there's a particular place they prefer to be buried, we can go there.  I ask the other mercenaries once they awaken if they know if a spot.

Tradition varies based on area.  Some buried at sea, some in the ground, some in tombs.  Cremation not typically used.

The mercs that can speak have and idea or opinion on it.

An hour of work or less. I scavenge the area for tools that could help, like pry bars or sledgehammers. Not looking to obliterate the foundation, but rather make it unusable for bearing the load of a structure without making significant repairs.

There are tools in the work pens, and oxen there, so in a hour you can do some damage and make any repairs a pain for them to complete.

In the hour, Ohen sits off to the side and writes some things down and stays out of the way unless asked.

Okay, I'll do whatever is traditional for this particular individual based on the thought of the other Horarians he was with.

Cyrus explores the structure for a few minutes. After Breach has collected his tools: “Rather than waste time trying to break or tear down what are still just unconsecrated rocks, perhaps we can offer the structure to the villagers as a new shrine of Quan Yin? Or a hospital? Or a small keep to better defend them?  We do still have to rescue the captives.”

This is a fantastic idea.  Paster, are you able to concecrate this?  This isn't something I'll ever be able to do.

These people will not defend this place when the cultists return to reclaim it. If I cannot stop them I will at least make it difficult for them.

Smashy smashy.

It was pecular that he took more offense to you then he did us.  Seems he sees dedestroyt as competition, or a rival.
