Brann watched from his black-mane dire-wolf as the last building of their war-camp was set up. The Town Hall had been the first to be set up, followed by some civilian dwellings. The next had been the Tavern, which Champions like himself seemed to be drawn for reasons even he did not fully understand. The last one, the Training Yard allowed the recruitment and training of the Amazon Spear Dancers. Already 70 had been recruited and of those 70, 40 had been added to his direct command, the rest would defend the camp. That had increased his 130 Spear Dancers to 170. Brann specialize in Wolf Riders, and had 80 under his command. He was a proud champion of the barbarian Stronghold, Warsaw, and he had very few rivals as a Barbarian war leader.

It was not a small amount, but without finding any external mines, Brann would be amazed if they had anything other than gold by the end of the fortnight. Without any idea of the rate his lord would go through what they had, Brann had opted for the rate the overeager and less experienced lords would do. With the last of their prefabricated buildings of their camp set up, It was now the time for his lord to show off his prowess. It wasn''t long before the Lord Fluffytail ordered the Town Hall improved to a Village Hall and the purchase of another Champion, the Barbarian Nock, to sally out of the camps'' gate. That was 5000 gold spent in less than an hour. Nock rode his black-mane dire-wolf up to Brann leading 120 Spear Dancers and 70 Orc Axe Throwers. Brann did a quick check to make sure his red banner was flying true before turning to address his fellow Champion.

"Nock, Defender of Dread Valley, I was unaware that you had chosen to follow the new lord, I assume you bring his orders for me?" Brann looked the old orc over, noting any new scars since he last saw the Champion.
"He paid, I answered, and yes, I do have your orders young one. Lord Fluffytail wants you to scout out the western cliffs and take any resources you find, avoid taking on any ranged mobs of deserters, flag any mines you can with what forces you have. He also wants you to be back at the camp by the end of the week. He want me to take the eastern marches and scout out the valley''s chokepoint, see what deserters are blocking our way to Xaniza''s liar." Nock''s heavy-set voice came not long after. He paused, deep in thought, before saying, "We have a temporary truce with Lord Mompounder, if we see his blue banner we are not to engage for now."
Brann nodded before making his way west as Nock went east. Brann collected some stone, some wood, a pile of gold, and flagged a quarry for his lord before making camp for the night.
The final resources of the day was sent to him via messenger hawk.
