A warm and humid August has subsided into a brisk windy September. The Winter Ranger has returned to her town to find it unprepared for the challenges of the coming months. Farm yields have been poor, and treasury balances are low. War is whispered on the winds but they have too few troops to muster a defense. Even letters from her banner men have gone unanswered in her absence. The Badger grabbed a glass of wine and consulted a large map with her trusted adviser. “Tell me Gromit, How bad is it?†“Well, the town is situated along the northern border of His Majesty’s lands.†He indicated one of the small dots near the top of the map. “Lord Sprocket says that the Ice Creatures will make us their first stop on the way to the Capital. We need to fortify the town and gather troops to keep those monsters at bay.†“We will need some scouts to give us as much warning as possible. Stone masons can sure up our walls and create some towers. We can put archers in the towers and Pike men on the ground. We will give those ice men more than they bargained for.†“Of course m’Lady, where will find the gold to pay all those men?†“You can't solve every problem with a sword I suppose." With a wry smile, she grabs a quill and sets to work.
