			We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. <br/>
			We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us.<br/>
			Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work.<br/>
			In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. <br/>
			Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

	We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "Camp Jamieson" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. <br/>		We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin.

	After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

	We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms\|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests) and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.		We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters.
