"Do you know a road or a path that might be used to reach the ruins?" Karigov looked over at the old mason, "I do expect one of your age to know abit of the roads around here I hope."

The old man laughed and coughed again as the dust rose, "Well I sure do but I think there is only one road leading up there, and to be honest milord, I don't think it's a very safe road to traverse if ya moving stones and brick from a ruin."

Karigov smiled slightly and made a jesture to the old man to come sit besides him on the bench. "You know many things of the town then if you know the roads in detail?"

"Well I'm an old man, but I know a thing or two of the town, althought that mayor didn't seem to like many of our wise old men as they say" said the mason.

Karigov padded the mason on the shoulder. "Well as it comes to be, you already know me as the lord of the town, now here is the thing, I don't know much of the town myself so I'm setting up a central town counsil to aid me in the progress of this township and make it a new capital town one day."

"Well Patrick Ofras at your service milord." smiled the old mason, Karigov thought that it might be better for him to be out of this hard back braking work for an older looking man as Patrick. Yes as Karigov said to himself, ambitions alone will not help me to the top, but friends and wise people around me will surely be a great help.

The next day Henrix has set up camp right outside of Forgersten, having set up a recruiter's tent and the main camp in preperation for the advance against Halias. Karigov himself made ready for the state counsil and hearing of the Gorboran family. And so has Houses Helexis started to rise in the ranks of the IPC.
