The entire actual capture of Helmbrig only took Kurt a few hours. However, the preparation of the armies had taken a few days, during which Carla had moved troops. They still didn't want to put the gate there. Too many questions from the Hamlet guards they thought.
Barney had taken over as was one of his demands. He apparently got along well with the old Baron. The goblins weren't exactly welcomed yet by the populace. But there wasn't much any of them could do about it.
Barney had actually found that the place he was at worked out well for him, even with the configuration. Giving him complete access to the castle and enough room to get to see the ocean from the other side of the mountain.
The transition went as smoothly as one could expect. There were of course some alterations from their takeover. Maybe more so because of the goblins.
Ex-Baron Herold had made a lot of it easier actually. Once he gave up it seemed the best use of his talents was to make sure no one got hurt.
