Gate Duty

[Arma Renox]

Around lunchtime on the 7th November;

Myself and Rupert Ridir established a gate watch to monitor the flow of visiters to and from our fair Cove.



Thanks to Della for her superb lunch, and Rupert's... Erm... Carrot decorations!

Our first visitor was Rankin Rodes, a travelling bard and treasure hunter exiting cove. Apparently on his way to seek fortune in our fair lands, he assured us he would slay a few orcs in his path, we allowed him to pass.

Watchman Olchafa Serprent addressed us shortly afterward, notifying us of some real estate that the militia needed to secure. We assured him that we would do our best to keep such land for the Militia.

Rankin Rodes shortly reappeared, claiming that our proseperous land had overburdened him with treasure! After a little convincing, we helped dear Rankin with his extra burden by extracting a small tax of 200 Gold Pieces!

Traffic grew slower, so Rupert and I extended the fort, adding a prisoner hold and an officer's chamber! We also thickened out the front walls, adding extra defence. Rupert's lumberjacking and carpentry skills came in quite useful as I set to work arranging the fortifications (despite a few "artistic differences")!

We also had the honour of Erik Arkay himself come and keep watch for a short while!

In all, a successful watch.

Around 6 p.m. November 9
Me Don Vito
Karn
Judas
We set up a gate to patrol the entering and exiting of Cove.

As we stood there for about 30 minutes. Nothing interesting happened. A couple of Rabbits was spotted and that' about it. But if something did happend, without Judas, me and Karn would have had trouble.

But just incase men or animals came to threaten the great city of Cove. We had some interesting words from Judas.

We kept Cove safe for that part of the day. Thanks to Judas and Karn. FOR COVE!!!!!

A fine hunt again Recruit, keep up the good work!

I still think we could have made more fortification to the city walls while we were at it, there be enough boxes growing in the forest to supply a lifetime defenses of Cove. Har har...
