Andreas returned briefly from his holidays to find someone had been invaded. He wasn't sure who. And his Baronial Fleet wasn't quite ready yet. Still, he had some other friends to call in ...
"Send the Kaiser my warmest regards, 100 Archmages, and a Kraken."
"But sir, Shirekeep's not actually that near the coast."
"Oh, a rampaging Kraken never goes amiss. Just add this message:
Warmest greetings to his Imperial Niftiness. I'm back on holiday now, so I'd appreciate if you stopped anyone from Brookshire or elsewhere invading Atterock. If they do, I'm afraid they'll have to be ripped apart by Kraken, and I'll get my Archmages to turn you into a small mango. This is not a threat, just an unfortunate life. Hoping you won't invade.
Cheerfully yours,
(in his infinite wisdom) Baron Andreas the Wise
