My master builder died... yeah, I guess a 64 year old man shouldn't be out digging in the hot sun every day, but what else could I do? Fortunately, one of the other builders who hadn't been helping with the dig had been fixing huts; she went and buried him and came back and picked up where he left off. However, the progress is going so slowly that I'm positive they wait for me to turn the game on and scuttle back to work when they see me coming...
