[Private.]
Ye rule over Slangworth Castle, and the village below. The forests, swampland and cave-strewn mountains surround your provincial lands. The southern province of Pullditch neighbours you [ruled by Lord Kilseys], and to the north there is a nomadic territory overrun by barbarians, but that's all far away, 'course.
Your trusty advisor is Clause, who will provide you with statistics and answers if you need them.
So, need any reports?

| I call for reports on all my neighbors. I also call for a report on my castle. A Lord must know his home. |

Kilseys doesn't like you, but his lands are distant and you rarely see people from his realm, or really talk to each other.
Information in the north is scant, so you don't really know anything about the place other than the fact crazy people inhabit it.
Your castle is surrounded by a single wall, moat, and has a keep, barracks, dungeon and garrison of guards. |

| Crazy eh? Sounds like my kind of people. I call the guards to the barracks, and head their myself. Time to see how well trained they are. |

| Well, most of them are just watchmen armed with pikes and cudgels. You currently have no spare troops for anything at the moment; the only soldiers you are in possession of have to guard the castle. |

| My weapon is an iron scimitar, designs of a dragon scratched into the blade. The hilt is mahogany, for no apparent reason. My armor is just a leather shirt, with a shoulder strap over the right shoulder. My leggings are simply loose cloth pants. |

| It is a smallish horse, but strong. It has three scars along its side, horizontal and parallel to each other. The mane is dark brown, and the rest of its body reddish grey. |

| You mount up. Travelling alone, or with a squad of guards? |

| I decide to bring one guard. I don't want to come back to a pile of rubble. |

You both ride down to the town, heading town the hill carefully so your horses don't trip.
You make it into the town square. What will you be doing, today? |

| Search for any bums hanging around, and bring them back to the castle. Also, I'd like to search for anyone good with tools. |

| You find a carpenter's shop, probably some good stuff in there. Your guard has hog-tied a vagrant, and has mounted him on him horse. |

| "Nothing as of yet, though once we have the supplies, I plan on adding a few things to the castle. I'll have the gaurd take you up there." I leave the shop, telling my guard to bring the man back to Slangworth. I wish to look around and see what the town has to offer. |

The guard leaves with the two men.
The town has a pub, merchant's guild, apothecary and river dockplace. |

| You don't hear much, just complaints about merchants and bandits and the price of goods. |
