After the battle ended Artemis looked around in wonder as all the bodies faded to gray leaving behind money and equipment.
She commands the animals to leave back to the woods. As she walked towards the gate a window popped up.

yes/no
- hm? yes

- yes change name to The Fox's rest

Pondering as to why She had no gold in her funds she opened up the menu and tried to delete one of the barracks
barracks deleted
+100 gold to funds
until vault is built to store funds user cannot leave affairs mode.
- so that how it works
Shifting to the next barracks she was going to delete it, but saw a convert option. Moving through the menu she saw what she was looking for and converted it into a warehouse, she then reinforces the back of it with iron bars changing a small space into a vault. She then sells the archery range, training sand, and all but one table from the dining area, in place of the training ground she builds various areas for animals to stay in. When exiting affairs mode a window popped up
Funds and other items must be manually put in vault before using.
funds left 20 gold

Artemis then proceeded to gather all the loot from the fallen soldiers and knights, and while she was at it she found 3 chests of bandit loot as well. After gathering all the weapons, armors, and gold and miscellaneous loot from the bandit fort she had.
* swords 80
* spears 40
* complete armor sets 40
* assortment of gems 200
* gold 732
* leather 102
* assortment of pelts 434
* gold ingots 5
Storing the gold and gems in the vault she proceeded to make shelves by hand to store items in the warehouse, which took the rest of the day. Standing up with a groan after moving the last of the loot into the warehouse. She notes that she still has a few hours till dark, she decided to try and get the foxes to agree to move into the fort. After wandering around for an hour she comes upon a group of foxes that are getting ready to rest
- Hello there would you like to sleep in safety behind my walls?
- We have never had to before why would we now.
- Because if you did you would have a safe and dry place to sleep each night without fear of wolves.
- ...This is true but the bandits that live with you would kill us for our pelts.
- You need not worry all bandits have been kill and only i remain
- Very well then i will spread word of your offer and come tomorrow with any who wish to join
- Thank you miss fox.. that remind me what is your name.
- My name is Leotie dear.
- Thank you for agreeing to move in Leotie.

Happy at the outcome of her excursion she returns back to The Fox's rest to get some much needed sleep. Upon arriving she sees that the outside of the gate has been ripped to shreds from wolves and bears. Securing it as best she can, she realizes that its barley hanging on. She will need to replace it. She also thinks she should hire a few guards to protect it when she is away, but that is a problem for tomorrow. Slipping into bed she falls asleep as she reviews all that happened to her these past few days.

She wakes at the crack of dawn as light floods into her house. She dresses and walks out into the cold morning air. She hears a yapping at the gate, and throwing it open she is greeted by over 20 foxes. As they come in she is greeted with an occasional hello or thank you with a ding alerting her one has accented her as their god. While foxes are solitary creatures they will still share a safe place if it's convenient. It seems Leotie is looking for more to join.
- Attention everyone! i will be hiring a group of guards to protect you and your new home.
With some grumbling she get them to understand they won't attack the guard and the guards won't attack them. Opening the lord interface she buys a barracks that is about half the size of the old one and able to house 16 guards. She looks through all the different type of men she could buy, before deciding on 6 guard spear men at 3 silver a month. 6 guard archers at 2 silver a month. 4 rangers at 5 silver a month. All guards start at level 10. and the rangers start at level 25. After she closes the interface, she hears a knock at the gate. Opening it once again she is greeted by 16 people who turn out to be her men.
The spear men are dressed in chain mail shirts equipped with a spear and wood shield, while the archers are dressed in brown leather equipped with a longbow. The rangers are wearing a wide variety of different leathers with patches of metal plates over vital spots. Equipped with recurve bows and melee weapons ranging from swords to axes. A female ranger steps forward along with a spear man.
K- My name is Kelly mam I am the leader of this group of rangers
D- My name is Darrel mam I lead the guard.
A- Good my name's Artemis I hired you to guard this fort and the ones who inhabit it.
D- Umm do you mean the foxes mam?
A- Yes i mean the foxes they agree to be sheltered here and they wont attack any one working for me.
K- Can we back this up a little bit and bring up the fact that you have fur and a tail.
A- And?
K- Well you have fur and a tail and you live in the forest where an army disappeared rumored to be killed by a demon fox.
D- Shut up do you want her to kill us too.
A- ....... You do not need to worry I only kill people who go against me.
Visible relief shows up on their face.
D- A a anyways mam what are your orders.
A- Ah yes first off I want you to protect the foxes if you ever see them in danger I also want you to take trips out into the forest to hunt for food as well as level up ill leave it to you how you want to do that.
D&K- It will be done!
A- Ah wait a minute you said you were the leaders but why are you?
K- That is because we are the oldest of our men.
A- What? you don't look older then 18.
D- 16 actually.
A- May i ask why some one so young was sent here.
K- Uhh that may be because all of us were in danger of failing out of the training academy but still made it through. so they decided to send us to get killed by a demon, that would be you mam. than pay us to be in the army.
D- But don't worry mam it wasn't because we are bad guards
A- Then why did they send you out here.
K- It might be because we had a bit of a problem with the generals at the academy. So we might have spread a few rumors of them being impotent in bed and that is why they are so hard on new recruits.
A-.... As long as you protect the fort and the foxes i don't mind what you do, also i will give you extra pay if you can keep the foxes from getting into the vault because they love shiny things.
d&k- Of course mam we will keep them out of it
A- Good now the building in the back is my house the one to the right of it is the barracks there is also a blacksmith, tailor, and carpentry area if any of you are decent at it there is plenty of Ore and furs in the warehouse. If you need wood you can chop down trees out to 30 meters away from the fort.
She could see more than one guard's face light up at the being able to use their crafts freely. As they come into the fort she is greeted with smiles at the lenient rules she is imposing on them. After they stow away their gear Kelly leads half the spear men and archers on a hunt to gain levels and meat. At the same time Darrel informs her that he can replace the gate and one of his men can reinforce it with iron bars. After gaining approval, he takes the rest of the rangers to chop down a group of trees to replace the wood planked gate with solid trunks wrapped in iron bars. 2 archers climb into the towers as two spear men guard the open gate, while the others begin to prepare food for the rest. Not even noon and The Fox's Rest already looked happy once again. At this time she has an idea and grabs her gear, and as she walks out the gate the guard asks
- My i ask where you are going and how long you will be gone mam?
- I will be gone for a day or two and as for where i am going that will be a surprise when i return.
