[Bordermarch] The Baron

[David Lathrop]

All though the Baron is full of fun it is the Baroness he must beware of for he learned no better lesson then when she had her small but dedicated team of Lords try and capture him.

It was a late night around the warm and glowing fire when HE Santiago excused himself and trotted down the road toward the loo.  His young populace left behind they started to plot a trick on him and thought(with their young, small minds) to scare the Great One!  "Oh but no," said the Baroness.  "You must use those precious minds for something more then war practice.  Think BIG, really BIG!  If any one knows the Baron it is I.  He will be expecting you and will not scare."  So I sent them forth to lock the Baron in the plastic loo with nothing but the fine stick whittled earlier in the evening by M'Lord Jessie son of Aaron White Wolf.   (Seems Jessie had a lot of time on his hands doesn't it!)  Oh but his tiny instruments came in handy for the Baroness,  for it was this tiny sword whittled from a branch that kept the Baron at bay, for in the black of night you heard but a bump, then another, and another bulging the flimsy door outward as the
 Baron thrust his mighty chest at it to escape.  Then suddenly he emerged with a loud kaboom, tall and straight, chest pumped up like a super...man in the night. Yet no one saw him(he thinks).  Defeated he shrugged his wide, broad shoulders then proudly walked back to the campfire thinking he defeated the lot of them...oh but little did he know who sent them.
