Taklinn works throughout the day one day on a wagon. He seems to be adding something onto the back of a wagon. As the day progresses, the contraption begins to take shape. A large boom is added to the back of the wagon, as well as a large spool with thick rope attached. He hitches two oxen to the wagon and moves the wagon alongside a large slab of stone. He lowers the length of rope and secures it tightly to the stone. Once completed, he begins to crank the stone off of the ground with much effort. Once he has raised the slab higher than the bed of the wagon, he places a pole in the mechanism to keep the slab aloft. He then moves over and pulls the slab into the wagon, before pulling the cog out and dropping the slab into the wagon. Smiling wide, he says "Its a bit hard fer one person ta use it, but a pair could use it with no problems!" After his successful trial run, he begins to outfit the other wagons with similar contraptions, and starts the arduous task of moving the stone from the quarry to the job site; unloading the stone in the opposite fasion, so as to not damage the precious stone.
