[IC] A Stolen Land

[DM Dougfan]

"As I said, the need for 'subtlety' is well understood. I am reassured that you trust us enough to let go of that advantage. ButI only speak for myseklf."

Despite his calm words the bow is still kept at the ready, he obviously takes the role of overwatch quite seriously, and has not judged yet that it will not be needed.

Kesten only nods in response.  Clearly, to him, Valdi is not the leader of this band of defenders.

Andra nods, seeming to have her caution placated about the subject. "Of course. Forgive our wariness. We are expecting some bandits to come looking for their comrades soon." Looking up at Happs, she says "Thank you for the warning, Happs."

Directing her attention back to Kesten, she motions to the taskboard that Oleg set up. "Our host Oleg has set up a place to post bounties and other tasks for us. For now, this is serving as our home base, as it were, though I fear we will soon outgrow it." She takes time to point out where everything is, so that Kesten and his men can get around on their own.

Kesten nods in understanding.  "Yes, what little information we were given led us to believe that this place had been crawling with brigands.  Hence our need for security."  He then looks at the Bounty Board with keen interest as his men fan out and study the courtyard and battlements, looking at weak points to shore up, strategic emplacements, etc.  "I actually have something I would like to add to this...Bounty Board, was it?"  He unfurls a scroll and walks up to the board, posting it.  (Will have that up ASAP)

Eran comes from the background into the front and introduces himself, meanwhile he closes his eyes for a few seconds after that he tries to resolve this tense situation.
- You must be tired. Refresh yourself and we discuss this next to the table (with some meal and drinks).

Kesten smiles wearily at this.  "That would be a splendid idea."
