There'd have to be some twist, like the Teckla had driven off the local 
Serioli.  If this is _Vallista_, I guess Vlad would kill the baron or at 
least destroy his forces and then set up a new community with both races. 
If it's _Lyorn_ I guess he shows up and convinces the baron and both races 
to build a new community simply by setting a noble example.  If it's 
_Hawk_ (perhaps most appropriate for a Western) I guess Vlad shows up and 
annoys everyone so much that they resolve their differences to get rid of 
him.  If it's _Chreotha_, the whole setup is a trap (presumably by a 
Jhereg) - but Vlad has actually set up the situation to trap the trapper.
If it's _Tsalmoth_ - well, Vlad already thinks like a Tsalmoth.
