Greetings Elfsea,

Bjorn here, writing from Caelin's.

Tonight we accomplished quite a bit with regards to
our ballista ammo.  Caelin, Wilim, and I began our
tried and true assembly line process and finshed over
100 bolts tonight alone!  We have a little over 50
that need duct taping and another 150-ish that need
fiber taping and duct taping.  

After tonight's work we have 200 completed bolts here
along with somewhere near 80 with Llwellan, Wilim, and
others bringing our total completed bolts to around
280.

When the dust has settled we will have somewhere in
the neighborhood of 500 bolts!

However, we will need every single one of them.  I
spoke with Virgil and I now have a definite count of
the number of ballistae we "could" bring to war.

Virgil has completed and delivered 4 ballistae, I have
my ballista, Dragonsfire Tor has a ballista, and The
Talons(House Falconrose) also has one.  This would
bring the total count to 7 ballistae from Elfsea,
however there are more.  Virgil has 4 more ballistae
in his garage that are halfway built.  This means we
have the possibility of bringing _11_ ballistae to
Gulf Wars.

Unfortunately we will need even more people to crew
all of our ballistae, 33 total to be specific.  We
also need to complete the ballistae that are halfway
built.  It should not be hard. However, it will take
time, and that is something we are running short on.

So, consider this a call to all Ansteorrans who are
not already going to the front lines at war.  Have you
ever sat back on the sidelines and watched the epic
fort battles, wishing to be a part of the action, but
unable to for various reasons?  _Now_is_YOUR_chance! 
Siege crews are touch kill unless authorized for heavy
combat.  If you ask to be on a siege crew, we _will_
find a place for you.  We have 20 loaner helms for
siege crew use.  We _will_ help you strap and pad
these helms and we _will_ help you build simple armor
and get you authorized for siege combat.  

Have fun! Come be a part of 10 years of tradition and
glory!  Support your kingdom at Gulf Wars X on an
Elfsea siege crew!

Contact the Baron and Baroness or Seneschal of Elfsea,
myself, or reply to this message if you wish to crew
one of our ballistae.
