Pequenauds in the Swamp
"While others were hunting those who fled, Ming-Sa and I erected the wall you see. It will not stop single men, or much slow them, but it will greatly inconvenience mounts and provide good shelter for those who would await an enemy or greet them with missiles.
"I had planned to continue this work; it will take some days to completely surround the village thus. Each segment takes the two of us two thirds of an hour -- moments to cast, but the time is to rest."
The wall, at present, is a dozen sections, eight feet long and six high, two feet thick (same as the one originally made to block the road), faced with stone on both sides and with a stone footing to keep it stable. Sections have a half yard space between, so as not to block access to the paddies.
