JA's - The Borderland Keep

[DistractingFlare]

Once arrived at the campfire, Aldin confers with his soldiers. His face seems grim and deeply serious. He hands Pendleton a slip of paper with an order for supplies to be delivered to his stead in Rosedown in the near future.

Later, at the campfire, Aldin is in tremendous spirits. His men, excepting Pendleton, are left to their own devices while Alden carouses. He plops down next to Byron Sky and drapes his arm around him. "Marster Sky, I hope I get to see some o' them goblins. It'll be important to open up this trade route. We gotta show 'em this land is ta be civilizizied."

In addition, a quantity of various ales, meads, and brews, as well as cooking supplies.

OOC: Would Aldin's plans be feasible with the amount of money he just received?

Catylina and her girls enter the camp. Having located the person responsible for organising the camp and finding out where she can set up, she leaves Tatanya to organise her camp; including the wagons which are following later. Meanwhile she goes to meet with Byron Sky and the other stewards.

Catylina answers Byon's offer of tents by saying "Thank you but I have arranged for the appropriate supplies for me and the girls.

By the way how do we address you. The last thing I wish to be is discourteous." At this she give a winsome smile.

- Rope, grappling hooks, boards for pulling wagons out of mud.

"Tetke, I'm glad we have a Sage like you in our company. Knowledge is just what we most need in building up a town. By the way, are you a student of the arcane arts as well? I am one myself, though of the practical tradition of the warrior magus."

"Aldin, yes, I hope we can find a way to live in peace with the humanoids. A show of force, I've found, sometimes works better than force itself."

"Catalina, good to meet you". Heinz gives her a quick look up and down. "We should learn more about the other Stewards, learn how to best complement each other. I'd like to see you in action."

Tetke's gaze slides towards Heinz. " I am an accomplished mage, yes, Mr. Walker, " say the elf as he considers the magus. " Such training has its uses in my line of work. "

As Tetke's gaze turns back towards Byron Sky, he adds, " I suppose that given your own aptitudes, you might be an adequate conversationalist. "

"Nice to meet you too Heinz. As it happens I have a fairly unique fighting style. If it will please you and the others, I am happy to give you all a demonstration. No opponent necessary. Just let my dinner settle first." The latter is said with a smile.

Edoryan and his men set up their camp in short order, quickly putting up tent and shelter, and then setting to work chopping firewood and other such tasks. It is clear that they are all used to spending the nights under the stars and elements, and they go about their tasks with a disciplined efficiency.

Only after all is in proper order, and he has seen to it that his men are fed and settled in, does Edoryan move to join the conversation between the other Wardens.

Warming slightly to Caitlyn's comment.." i do hold a very very very minor noble honorifc but I prefer to be called Byron or Captain sky..which ever is convient.

 

[Kaodi]

" If your brother holds a similar position, " says Tetke, " perhaps it would be best to develop the habit of addressing you by your given name, Captain Sky. "

Anyone who is at observant may have noticed by this point that Tetke has not once reached for any food or drink.

 

[J. Alexander]

His smile widening a bit he says "Yes it can be a bit confusing at times giving that were hard to tell apart....were pretty informal at home so First names work for most occasions"
