JA's - The Borderland Keep

[Rhun]

Edoryan raises an eyebrow, but remains silent. He let his companions speak, and waited to see what the Baron's response would be.

"Well said, Tetke."

Not that Heinz would mind gaining power, but offending his employer would not be the way to do it.

Pointdly ingnoring their comments and explanations the old baron adds "Well what is it that has you in such a hurry that it can not wait till day after tomorrow"

Wondering for a moment what he will be like at five hundred, Tetke folds his arms and says, " I want access to the Barony's records and library, my Lord. Give me that, and I can likely amuse myself for at least two weeks. "

"In truth, I merely wished to meet you, and thank you for the trust you have placed in me by honoring me with the position of warden," says Edoryan. He raises his eyes to the Baron's face. "And to inform Your Lordship of the band of giant raiders we met on the borders of the Barony."

I have sent messeages out for hire swords and those responding should be here in 30 days"

" Well, in that case I suppose I will hunt down whomever manages your collection at this time and get started on my reading, " says Tetke. " The Barony appears to be well run, but there is still plenty of room for improvement, I am sure. " With that the sage excuses himself. The old man is likely going to be insufferable as an employer, but at least it appears he will not place much restriction on devouring all the knowledge at hand.
