Thank you Bree for getting your hand mobilized, you are a credit to your rank. For now, things here in Herons' Hollow are progressing as well as they can be. Penton here has just completed his initial scouting and found nothing of note in the immediate area, which is good news indeed. 'As for crown point, if I were of Declans' temperament I might be inclined to order you to go. But I am not him, to both our benefits. 'Having said that, I would not turn you down if you were to offer to go and see what may be done. 'As for the others, if you would like to go as well, you certainly may and,' he adds with a sly grin 'if it offers you any incentive, I can temporarily deputize you into the service of the Duke, which would offer you, ALL of you, a stipend of a gold crown per day plus expenses. 'It is roughly a five day journey to Crown Point and, as this would be a personal request of mine, I would be willing to match the stipend out of my own coffers AND pay you for the trip there in advance, for a total of ten gold crowns each.' He looks at you and seems to wait for your reply.bree[spoiler] this is amost triple what you would have been earning as Hand, if that matters.[/spoiler]</blockquote>
