Journal Extract – Desmond Frederick Krieger
Around Midnight, Friday, 22nd September 2006In order to help towards an extra few promotions for this coming Promotions & Awards Parade, Junior Scout Sanderson kindly organised a gate sentry for a few of us Recruits. With the choices of the gates of Cove Town, and the gates into the Baronship, through a vote we decided upon the gates of Cove Town – this, unlike the gates into the Baronship, requires the construction of an outpost, which would benefit our skills at such in the long-run.
For the purpose of better strengthening the barricade itself, hides were required – this was our first task. Nay too long into the gathering session, and we’d found we had enough; nay many are required for such a small post. However, as usually happens, a problem arose. Junior Sanderson informed us of a crate shortage – the key material it building an outpost! Improvising, we decided upon using a number of boards placed accordingly between the layers of hide – similar to crates, just nay as thick. Enough to hold off any sodding thieves, nevertheless!
After a good fifteen to twenty minutes, and all seemed quiet, we were blessed with the presence of Baron Octiovus himself! Superior, sharp, in all his greatness; surely the highlight of each of our days! One could nay wish for a better encounter during a sentry.
