I'll confer with Valka and Gobber and try to see it from their eyes. Don't worry; if I'm getting too gung ho - as I sometimes can get - I'm sure Astrid will put me back to reality.
This is your first time at New Berk, right? Welcome to our home! It doesn't look like much right now, but everyone has grand plans for their houses. Why don't you take a look around and get settled in? I suggest starting by the cliffs out of the mesa. You can get a feel for the beauty of this place.

1-Find Snotlout at New Berk

Yo! Yo!
I need your help on a matter of highest priority. Come to me right now, or the safety of New Berk will be completely shattered beyond saving!

2-Talk to Snotlout

Good. I'm glad someone is taking me seriously on this.
I'm sure Hiccup's probably straining his arm patting himself on the back so hard. 'Oh, look at me, I've found a sanctuary where dragons can be safe.' Yeah, so I don't see dragon hunter ships making it up here. But what about us humans? We're sheared sheep waiting for the slaughter!
What we need is something out of the classic playbook. It's gotta be something that screams 'Berk' and also 'fierce Viking,' all in one. What we need is one of Gobber's siege machines. Then we can protect ourselves from any attackers who try to scale the cliffs.
If you fly around I'm sure you can find Gobber; he's standing in front of his precious forge.

3-Visit the blacksmith

Watch your step! We're not done setting up yet. It'd be a lot easier to move around if Grump would move out of the way, you lazy bundle of charcoal.
So, [your Viking's name], what can I do for you? Can't imagine Hiccup sent you here with a new idea. I'm sure he has twelve ideas just bouncing around in his head already. He just seems a little preoccupied with the Light Fury and all.
Listen to me go on and on! Come on here and tell ol Gobber what you need.

Will wonders never cease? Snotlout Jorgensen with a good idea all on his own. I never thought I'd see the day.
Ever since I took up dragon dentistry, I haven't flexed my siege weapon skills. You know what they say, though. Making a deadly weapon is just like riding a yak: you might get gored but you never forget.
Let's take a look inside the forge and see what we can dig up. Maybe I can resurrect my dear old catapult, Big Berta! Oh, how I've missed you so.

5-Go inside to look at the forge

Sorry! Sorry, sorry! It's just Fishmeat again, being a little crank machine. Come on, get out here!
[Your Viking's name]! Oh, thank Freya. You're just the person who can help me out. Please talk to me.

6-Talk to Fishlegs

Sometimes I think I've torn off more than I can chew with this little guy. He's just so active and playful and has never ending energy! How do other dragon moms do this?
Fishmeat just doesn't want to take his nap even though it's way past his bedtime. He set fire to my favorite pair of gloves and then flew off to explore!
We have no idea what could possibly be waiting in the wilderness so it's just not safe for him to go off on his own. I managed to chase him into the building, but now I can't get him out from under that table. Can you get him out, please?

7-Click on the forge

What. A. Thrilling. Adventure.
Now that you've pulled out our little baby, I'm sure Fishlegs can get that dragon out of my shop. Now, Fishlegs.
I have most of the mats for a catapult in this crate, but I'm missing most of the wooden pieces. We must've used them on all the new buildings. If you find a forest near here, we should be able to get this weapon done!

|
8-Look for the closest forest

Those trees seem the sturdy type, similar to those at Berk. You should gather 6 wooden logs from the trees.

10-Bring 6 wood logs to Gobber

Perfect! This will give the right structure and bend for those heavy duty situations. You've got a good eye for wood.
Now. This catapult will need a stable foundation to withstand the force of the projectile being shot out!
Whenever we look to create a solution, it's integral to talk to others and discuss options to figure out the best method. After all, we all have different minds and different experiences that have shaped us; talking through different ideas can allow us to find an answer that incorporates the best possibilities.
So while I finish this up, can you go back to Snotlout and dig a spot near the edge of the cliff? We can then use that spot at the base.

That's not a bad hole. Not quite as good as when I dig them, but not bad for someone else.
Drat... I see the disaster twins coming by to mock us. You need to talk to Tuffnut and get them out of here before they destroy our awesome plan.

A hole? Oh no. That's not what we're here for.
That's right, sister. We're just hanging low after doing something quite devilish to Fishlegs. It might just drive him off the deep end!
Speaking of someone 'off the deep end': I think Gobber's trying to catch your attention.

Isn't she a beaut? I'm getting maudlin just looking at her. Oh, my girl, I look forward to the day when I can see you destroy our enemies as they try to ransack our town.
