[QUOTE="doghead, post: 6351235, member: 8243"] [b]Day Four - Mid Afternoon, in front of the Keep[/b] Tristan sets off on a determined march towards the Keep. Once across the open ground he arrives at the first of the outlying farms. From there a track leads him through the farms towards the small town and the keep. The farms are on the small side, but seem well generally tended and kept, as do the farm houses and buildings. Overall the impression is one of moderate prosperity and general peacefulness, despite the towns somewhat remote location. Tristan's passing does not go unnoticed. Those in the fields and around the farm houses watch him pass with a wary caution not unfamiliar to the knight. Those near the path however, do acknowledge his passing with a greeting and a polite nod. Generally the fields are quite quiet, with the exception of one down to the west, in which about a dozen or so people are hard at work do some sort of farmer stuff. Eventually Tristan comes clanking to a stop in front of the keep. Atop a small hill, it is a reasonably stout structure, although designed more for protection against bandits and raiding parties than armies. Twelve foot high crenelated stone walls surround the structure. The main gate is made of stout timber reinforced with iron studs. A shallow overgrown ditch runs around the walls interrupted only, as far as Tristan can see, by an earth rampart in leading the to gates, which stand open. At the gates Tristan is met by a short man wrapped up in a warm woollen clothes despite the relatively mild weather. His feet are bare, and hairy. He gives the wild man in filthy rusting armour in front of him a good inspection. "Good Afternoon Sir Knight," he says eventually. "I am Tillian, the Steward here. Can I help you?" [/QUOTE]
