A note with some more information is left on the sign, namely when the meeting can be held.

OOC: I suggest an attempt today. It is currently 8:13 where I live, and in about 6-7 hours perhaps.. could it work for everyone? (you can check at what time I posted this). I live in Québec/Canada

// Not sure I can make it today but I can try.

Large posting at the inn, above Hanamori Saya's notice, and at the town hall.

Dear Bendir Dale,

I'd like to schedule a mandatory meeting in our festival grounds several days from now. That's right. No excuses or whining. Everyone will be required to attend.

Blue has planned something very special for us, a play, and I think this is a perfect opportunity to lift and brighten spirits. We've been angry, depressed, and neglectful long enough!

Be sure to sign up beforehand, as well. We will be discussing settings, roles, and ideas as well as any additions of our own.

// Okay, so I left it with no real date while I checked what times would be available. A weekend, I think, is our best bet. We'll shoot for this upcoming Saturday afternoon (5PM CST / 6PM EST). If not, we can move it to Sunday.

Rose, Brash, Silverstone, Blue, and myself spotted a similar-looking goblin, accompanied by a Gelugon. It arrived by the carts under invisibility and proceeded to stand on top of the cliff overlooking the town. How the drivers allowed the ice devil to board, I have no clue.

We asked the creature to unsummon his pal nicely, in which it responded with similar behavior as mentioned by Boaz's report and departed south, summon scurrying after him. Pursuit only came after it commanded a skeleton to run by our roads and into the forest.

A direct blast of the Weave was enough to destroy the disgusting creature. It was tossed away from the main road of the northern frontier to avoid spooking travelers. Militia personnel and residents, be aware of this goblin as it more than likely will come back. They always do.

-Serena

During his daily meeting and prayers with Jayek and tending to the idol of Shelia Peryroyl the green clad Hin leaves a note with a deep concerned frown.

Kin,

It is obvious by now that the curse and blight laid upon the Dale is affecting those that live upon it now as well. Should any citizen feel sick or be in need of treatment for any ailments, I urge you to seek aid at the Grove or the Shrine of Elistraee. Furthermore, I also caution all citizens to spend more time outside the Dale for longer periods of time as the mental health of some of our kin is waning and being twisted by this curse.

Recently a member of our community has been involved in acts serious enough to be banned from the city of Kohlingen. One is not banned from such a place by performing pranks, only evil and malicious intent will suffice, neither is a tenet of Brandobaris. Where are the faithful of our Friendly Rapscallion, especially as I've never met a follower of Brandobaris that took to "pranks" that involved injury to others not deserving of such. Too busy vying for the best outrageous tale usually, of those I've seen none either.

I will lend no more support to the dale other than my daily prayers with the priest of Yondalla and tending to my mistresses idol. I can be reached to help those needing such on a personal basis at the Grove. I have gotten the message very clearly that one who is a citizen and one willing to remove the curse on the land is unwelcome in the Dale. It should also be pointed out that certain members of Bendir are doing their best to alienate anyone capable of removing the curse as well. Is a little personal responsibility and lack of maliciousness too much to ask?

A tired looking Jannah sighs and scribbles up a hasty note before going back to her work:

Quote:

If you want to talk about why we aren't jumping at everyone with a cure for the blight; while I can't speak for the entire council, here is the reasons I haven't put my hand up and already got them to do it:

Reason the first: A far as council's been told, there are precisely two people on this whole spit of an isle that can remove the curse. Lord Ulrik Valis and Riia the Drow, both of which are needed to do it. As was told to us, how they do it is a big ritual that's really dangerous, and has a risk of blighting the entire island Kohlingen to Cordor if it goes wrong.

Reason the Second: Even if they do pull it off, we were given no guarantee that they could prevent the blood mages from just turning up again, slitting open some other poor sap's belly and just re-blighting it.

Reason the Third: The big ritual in question would actively hurt the two people performing it, and could potentially prevent them from repeating the ritual if we come under blood mage attack again, or allowing the blood mages a window of time in which they could not have the only people who can stop them out there to prevent them blowing up a city.

Reason the Fourth: At present we don't seem to have anyone in the Dale who can actually perform this ritual on their lonesome, and Kohlingen does not wish information about their abilities spread around; as such they have asked us to keep what information we have on this cure's methods a secret until we meet with them again.

Reason the Fifth: It's still winter, even if we un-blighted the land we'd be a few more months away from the ground thawing allowing for the first planting of the spring crops. Once it's gone we already seem to have the means to fix the land once the blight isn't in place, this along with the support of the grove means that once the curse is gone the land will be back to normal in short order.

Reason the Sixth: Due to the ability for these blood mages to just bring in more victims, or possibly claim them from our own town and re-blight the land; coupled with an uncertainty of capabilities to just prevent more blights, it would follow that until this whole blood mage cabal is dealt with we would be dependent upon Kohlingen for our security from this day forth against the blood mages: Functionally turning Bendir Dale into a protectorate of Kohlingen and the Treaty of Light, whether ink is on a treaty saying so or not.

This matter is one which multiple citizens have expressed concern about, and as such is the primary reason why we were waiting for a final meeting with Lord Valis and Sir Valo to hammer out the details and finally bring it before the whole town to vote upon. If anyone has to date found any information, skills, magical relics, or miracles from the Hin Gods which would allow us to cure the blight without these concerns being an issue, I invite you to go ahead and bloody well cure the blight already.

"It has come to my attention that once again, Bendir Dale has dissolved into a mottled mess of squabbling and hen pecking. Everyone has a finger to point, everyone has an opinion to shout, and everyone else is simply wrong.

I, however, as simply another voice in this flock of screeching gulls, would suggest that perhaps it isn't the fault of the laws, government, or structure of Bendir Dale to blame for its problems. And neither are those who would oppose it. Friends, the problems with Bendir Dale stem directly from its citizens, primarily those most oft present to represent her. The citizens of Bendir Dale have degraded into a pathetic parody of a township. Bumbling, dangerous idiots sit and blather outside the walls, posing a threat to passers-by and kinfolk alike with their magic and "pranks." Law enforcers bark orders, hurl insults and punishments, and chase away any whom they deem outside their own clouded notions of order and law. These are Bendir Dale citizens I speak of, not "tallers" or other like-branded outsiders. It's no wonder that the gods' favored faces of the island are needed to come and clean up our messes. We're far too busy demonstrating to the rest of the island that we've been reduced to a motley-clad mockery of what this town used to be.

You say you need order? You say law and justice and militia will save you from this farce? You're wrong. You say you need fewer guards, more forgiving law and more jovial "pranks" to liven the place up and bring back its former glory? You're wrong as well. What this town needs is more individuals capable of rational thought and reason, and fewer childish, emotion-driven, idiot spellcasters and self-righteous, loose-cannon, overzealous lawmen.

To crush the spirit, drive out diversity, and force law down the throats of others isn't order. It's tyranny.
To cast off common sense, ignore reason to favor reckless abandon, and fling the blame on those who point out your faults isn't freedom. It's lunacy.

Therefore I urge you, so-called citizens of Bendir Dale, to look not outside to the "tallers," nor inside to the government, but into a mirror at your own reflections when searching for the appropriate place to lay your blame. Perhaps maybe then, when we've come to terms with what we've become, we can begin to discuss what the word "Order" truly means."

Oh it came back already. Just earlier, it decided to summon the undead again and threaten us! Of course he was wacked down and around and BAM! Dead.
Aberthany and the Warknights helped deal with it's body with a prayer and all.. I think something serious needs to be done. It came back just the day after we killed it!

*the entire note is crossed off and a note added*
If you don't have the guts to actually be some one and admit it, this is a waste of paper.

Hey M ?,

You're a little late man, the citizen militia has already been disbanded, so no use crying about what used to be. I suggest you all get used to the 'new' Bendir Dale, and perhaps learn to be careful what you wish for. You got it, enjoy.

*Nick sends word of his willingness to play the hero or any heroic part*

(How about another attempt tomorrow? Or just when I see several hins on we can proceed?)

Instructions are left with the bartender to deliver two notes to an older Halfling fellow that has been seeing dressed in black garb and goes by "Rico".

<begin>

*The script is written in a clear, concise manner*

Greetings, Mr. Rico:

I am a new arrival to these parts and believe we could benefit from a mutual association. At your convenience, I wish to meet with you. There are many things I wish to discuss; one of which is attached to this note. (A second parchment which appears to have been copied is folded with this letter) --> viewtopic.php?f=46&t=34292&p=1221462#p1221462

If you so desire it, please leave word with the fine barkeep here as to a time and place for a proper introduction.

Cordially yours,

Mr. Blue

<end>

A note is tacked and given should Mr. Blue revisit the Hinn Inn.

"Hey lad, I'm normally about Bendir by the carts if you want to talk.

-Mr. Ondenfare."

Fellow brothers, sisters and cousins. I call you to pick up your shield. Defend Bendir. We are the militia the last failed to be! Enlist your name below, and you will gain no authority over Bendirs citizens. You will gain no authority over the adventurers outside. But you will have order. You will have a real militia. I ask you to volunteer and enforce our laws, but now we must be more careful in doing so than ever. IF you are in the wrong in removing or subduing a scoundrel, villain, pest or pain, you are potential subject to punishment of assault.

As per the mayors disbanding of the militia, which we must respect, I feel I must make myself clear that the militia's authority is no more! Those outside the gates have the same rights as you! They can defend or assault us. Though I bid they choose wisely. Because I will be there to stand up for my family, my friends, my home. We will prove to our mayor that we are capable. We are responsible!

I will take lead of our unit until I feel I meet someone that is more capable among us. We will have authority among our militia. Signing up now is opting military. You are enlisting yourself to train, work, secure Bendir as a safe place for all. We must remind even our kin, that they are NOT above our laws. We cannot allow assault on guests as little as we allow assault on our own. Provoking an assault is punishable! Do not forget!

I do not ask. I beg you. Pick up your shield. Help me stand for Bendirs laws. I can't do this alone. Arvoreen would frown upon our current state. Let's do the Ardent Defender proud. He set an example. Let's follow it! Sign below, take up arms. We have a voice. We will be heard.

Sundays are good for me. Who knows.. maybe we can start having weekly town hall meetings if we actually organize ourselves a bit :wink:

//Sunday at 1700 seems to be the best time right now. And I certainly hope so!

The following posters are written mostly in common.

Iss'Yondalla'Illi

For you tallers and non-Hin, this means "Festival of Yondalla's Power".

On the 5th of Tarsakh, I intend on bringing Bendir to light of our Pantheon, paying respects to Yondalla, Urogalan, Sheela Peryroyl, Brandobaris, Arvoreen and Cyrrollalee for the majority of the day, with each god and goddess having their own small ceremony during the day, alongside paying respects to the deities of our friends, Moradin, Garl Glittergold and Titania. As such, we not only invite non-Hin who respect these gods, we invite anyone and everyone who visits Bendir Dale and is allowed within her gates. Understanding of the few Drow who still continue to help Bendir despite their insignias being taken and have no received new ones, please send word and we can arrange your admittance in to Bendir Dale to partake in festivities.

I encourage clerics and servants of any of our pantheon to contact me either on here or by letter.

Any donations to go toward a large cornucopia of fruit and meal to offer our guests would be much appreciated.

Any Bards or musicians who wish to aid us with song, please send me letter.

There shall be more details as time progresses and dates may change, but we shall see.

Blessed One look after you.

-Dian Sourfold, Green Knight.

//I'm looking to host this event on Saturday 5th of April at the nearest full reset between 8am-4pm and it will run for roughly one and a half resets with each deity having their own brief celebration throughout the day. If a DM suddenly wants to get involved and help with things like placing chairs or placing down tents or possessing NPCs to join in please be my guest, but it's not a necessity for this event.//

//I'll try to make it! Around noon time EST? So 11 am for me, will do my best, may make it late though despite Rosie being known way back when for being hours early! Good stuff on the intiative too, to piggy back!

// This scheduled to be happening now?

For a time Breazy watched the Dale and the hin, not commenting on much of anything. She watched as the power was taken away from the community, and the militia attacked people on the road. She watched and sighed heavily. More days passed and those that took the power from the community were never available to deal with the day to day issue that continued to crop up. More days passed and she watched their home turn to dust with nothing being done to save it. Finally after weeks of this she knew it was time to take control of the
situation.

As the days passed she pulled each hin that traveled into Bendir Dale the same questions. "Are you happy with the way things are being done? Would you support another election?" And the answer to each question came back the same, "We would support another election." She watched vigilantly for any one of the supposed council, or the mayor to arrive to put put these matter to them as well, but none ever showed up.

viewtopic.php?f=67&t=41216&start=200

Finally, having spoken to the hin individually and given each a chance to state any objections and getting none she decided it was time to get everyone together to argue and ultimately agree to a course of action. Notices where put up calling for a town meeting. She put them in as many places as she could think of to allow as many hins to see them as possible. Though few may credit it, she sincerely hoped Serena and any member of herself appointed council would show up. But as normal all were absent from the problems that plague the once peaceful town.

viewtopic.php?f=67&t=75756
viewtopic.php?f=58&t=75755

So the meeting took place, with some surprising moments. Everyone that showed up wanted the same thing. To repair the village, and heal it's wounds. To fight and see our home restored if possible. To work together for the advancement of our interests. What surprised and pleased Breazy was the passion the hins had for the matters discussed. No one was indifferent. No one defended the current state of affairs.

And so it was decided, the hin would be having an election and take the initiative to make their home a better place for all.

In an attempt to advertise this and encourage this more, he takes to carrying a copy of the initial letter around and showing it to any hin he might meet on the road.

*Boaz declines to sign up, saying his duties preclude any formal inclusion in such affairs, though he does offer that he approves of the civil minded stance taken by his kin and vows to record such honorable deeds in the event of your passing.*

((View here first: viewtopic.php?f=67&t=75844 ))

A sheet is posted proudly in Town Hall among the recent revelation of it's normal sized citizens. The gnome whom posted it tried to be simple and to the point, and found it "somewhat" easier to avoid rambling on a paper:

Hear ye, hear ye! To those whom are of halfling, gnomish, fey or dwarven blood and call Bendir Dale "Home"! A mayoral election is taking place as discussed by the community of Bendir Dale!

The term of Mayor Serena Voi is coming to an end in her long absence. We thank Serena for the time she spent when she was actually here, but we are now on the verge of death, and the time to act is now. We, as a town, are pressed with many dangerous problems - and we have decided it is time we get our hands dirty and work together, inspiring a new election, so that we can rightfully make a difference in our lovely rolling hills. Spring is coming - and it remains only a few weeks away - and it is essential that we are able to find a cure to this blight before it arises, so that we may place our crops down for the year! Our community may be small, but we will make up for it with our enormous hearts and spirits!

This new process was discussed at the Town Hall meeting and is based on "Rico's Fast Track Mayoral Assigner". For the next 5 days, if one wishes to be a candidate for Mayor, they must put their own name here. To clarify: You can only nominate yourself and not anyone else. (Although you can certainly encourage individuals to put their name up here).

If you are interested in being the Mayor, please fill out this form below and post it here within 5 days. Only if you desire to be Mayor should you post here. Did I mention that only if you want to be Mayor, you should post it here?!

This election will be moving swiftly because of the dire emergency of the state of our hearth. In desperate times, desperate measures are needed. After the five days are up and the opportunity for nominating oneself is over, we will then proceed with:

Part 2 - Debates at the next Town Hall meeting (view here: viewtopic.php?f=67&t=75756)

Part 3 - A small period of 2 days to vote in the new Mayor, and with it, ushering a new era for the Shire of Bendir Dale.

May we follow life wherever it leads us!

((OOC: Regardless of how many characters you have, you may only put the name forward of one of your characters if interested in being the new Mayor! Otherwise it would become pointless haha. And of course, only citizens may apply - so no tallers, no currently banned hin/gnomes/dwarf/fey, or evil doers and the lot. :mrgreen:

Timezones aren't my specialty, but I posted this on Tuesday at 2:30 AM, North America EST timezone. The five days will be up when it's turns Sunday at Midnight and we can begin the next process!

I will also own up to adding the debate part in there. I figured our town hall meeting would be the perfect platform for it since we had such an AWESOME turn out last Sunday - and will shine a light for the immediate 2 day voting. Also, if you don't think you can make the town hall meeting and want to be Mayor, you should go nuts with your goals as Mayor on the forums to take the chance to express the character's views there.

Thanks everyone for their participation and I know we are all looking forward to Bendir's brighter future as a playerbase!

Gulliver Goldwoods, the Acorn, is seen rambling and scurrying about to prepare for the next Town Hall meeting. He would also be looking for Rico, after posting the newest Town Hall announcement. (View here: viewtopic.php?f=67&t=75857)

(( Alrightie - I decided to get the ball rolling since I didn't see anyone post about it. Sunday town hall meeting is happening again after such a great turnout! And as mentioned in the post, I figured we could use the town meeting to make some debates. This will lead the way into the immediate 2 days of voting for the new Mayor as was agreed upon last meeting.

The town hall meeting/debates will be scheduled at:Sunday 1800 GMT - I think that's the time GMT? I could be mistaken, apologies if so - but I figured one hour later then the last meeting, since most people seemed to come an hour to an hour and a half late.

Edit: I think the time of the meeting was actually at around 1300 GMT?

Also known as: About 1pm North America EST timezone for simpletons like me!

We can also get one person to take screenies of all the dialogue and post it ASAP on the forums, to those who couldn't make it to our PC event. And we can leave the forum open for mayoral candidates who want to state their goals and can't make it to the meeting?

Thoughts? Concerns?

More or less, the wheels are in motion and our plan is beginning to form! Go us!

// The meeting was at 17:00pm GMT, 12:00pm EST, and lasted until 20:30pm GMT, 15:30pm EST.

Also, the reason we didn't post it was we were waiting for the DMs to give us the thumbs up, but too late now!

// that was the hold up. Sent all the screenies and the like to the dm as well as backing rp. Though pretty close to what I posted on the forums I did give them a bit more information, as I didn't want to make everything we discussed public.

As for the town meetings, I already had hopes that we could continue with them, however it was brought to my attention that there is a conflict as the dwarven meeting is always Sunday mornings and has be for a long time. To give our dwarven friends that have hins (and visa versa) a chance to attend I am recommending we move the town meetings to Saturday at the same time. The only reason for Sunday last week was to accommodate the play which was a great success.. WTG All!

State your goals as Mayor here:
To improve our relations with each other and our allies. To see our community healthy and strong. To advocate the villages interests.

I have lots of ideas of how to achieve these, but I can't promise that any of them will work. I can promise to keep trying until we find what does work. I can promise to be accessible to the citizens and any concerns, questions, or (helpful, or even not so helpful) advice. Since I value the cleverness, agile minds, and strong personalities of every citizen I will hold regular meeting where everyone will have an open forum to air complaints or bring up new ideas.

We have a lot of repairs to make to make our home a safe, warm, and welcoming place again. I believe that to do that we have to become a stronger community. I see the esteem and regard, even brotherly love that we have for each other and I know we can do this, if we do it together.

*reads the others thoughtfully and adds to her own summary with a sigh*

I suppose that for those unable to attend the upcoming debate more information would be well received.

As such I can add, that I would see the militia reinstated using the sword and shield method used in the past as a model. Though instead of the swords which where meant as a more aggressive force I would change that to a more diplomatic group. Chosen for their geniality and willingness to advocate our interest and foster good will with surrounding town and factions, though those same should be willing and able to defend kin and home as well.

The Blight is yet another issue that we face. I can't say that I know what will cure it but I can say that regardless, if elected or not, I will continue to follow any lead that will cure our land and heavy hearts. Nothing will change that. That is why I didn't bring it up previously. I don't see any need to say so because in my thoughts it is a given.

I would see us utilize more of our land to bring more trade, and negotiate with those of skill and knowledge to bring more wealth to the town and all citizens. Building or moving a few merchant stales to the ever busy cross road would bring in much need revenue.

It is my goal to nurture not only the village but the citizens as well, to bring out the talents and strength we each have and direct, not dictate, others to lend those talents and strength to make a better home and community for all of us. I don't see that as a challenge but a joy. Seeing the people I care for and the home I love thrive is all I ask for and all I will work to obtain.

//Can't do saturdays.

Edit: But I talked to Breazy in game and she seemed to agree that we could post pone our meeting an hourish from our last one to give time for the dwarves to wrap up their meeting, then sort of have ours? Ideally? haha. I'm really available any time sunday!

Also a few other days but weekends seem to work best for everyone?

// Sunday's do seem to work best to include everyone. If we make it 1800 Gmt (100EST) that would give those that would also like to be at the dwarf one a chance. Though personally I don't make the dorf meeting often, to early for me,I know Kamina as a citadel citizen as well. We can play it by ear a bit and see if making it a little later makes any difference at all.

// 6pm GMT on Sunday is fine for me, as I always try and attend the Dwarven Meetings which tend to finish around 5:30pm ish on a long day.

There seems to be nothing here...

Editted: Sugarpaw removed her nomination.

Unfortunately, I live in the states and go by Central Time... On a Sunday, I wouldn't be allowed to go, given I have work until a few hours after the meeting would start.

Firstly; I will resolve the situation to the our blight. As is the Dales main priority right now.

Secondly; I will listen to my fellow residents of Bendir Dale. I will do nothing with out the consent of the people, and I'll do everything that you desire of me in the name of Bendir Dales prosperity and what we think as a community will help our home endure.

Thirdly; I will see to it that Bendir Dales militia are fully equipped and prepared to defend our Dale against the threats posed to us. Whether it be mylocks, trolls, orcs, or even the mightiest of foe. I will see as a follower of Arvoreen that our home is secure and safe under his watchful eye. On that note I remind you all, a militia is not something that can be disbanded! It is your choice and right to defend your home!

Name: Dian Sourfold.
Race: Celestial-touched Strongheart Hin.
Faith: Yondalla.
Length of Residence: Roughly a year since my return from Cormyr.
State your goals as Mayor here: A lot of my views are expressed in the attached transcript of the previous mayoral election.

To summarise, I desire to allow Bendir to be a prosperous place. The Militia shall be reformed but under new disciplinary guidelines, so we do not get corrupt Militiamen making Bendir Dale a depressing place to live in for both residents and visitors.

The blight, being a new issue that had occurred, is a worrying issue. I shall be enforcing this as a top priority upon a successful enrolment.

It is my intention that my idea for a watchtower last election remain the next immediate project following due to my belief that having one could have held back the Blood Mage upon their entering of Bendir Dale.

Lastly, in my summary of intentions, I still desire the Pantheon of not just Hin but all of our Gnome, Dwarf and Fey residents be celebrated more often, as my initiative for the Hin Pantheon festival next month.

More detailed lines of action can be found in the attached transcript. I desire only Yondalla's protective Aegis to guard our community no matter what the outcome.

// Sunday 6 pm is more than fine for me. Sorry I couldn't be there last time, something came up ;_;
I'll try to make up for it this time.

~Madam Ruby Talbot, ye Spring Festival dress do be ready, please contact Merchant Lady Ely in thy Cordor Market Hall~

Half-Orc, wears a black longcoat, wizard's hat and skull-mask. Gulliver said he saw him summon undead and, when we confronted him about it, did not confirm nor deny he did, but did state he cared not for our laws. Be careful around him.

Gulliver Goldwoods, the Acorn, posts a sturdy leaf with scribbles upon it:

From reading the above few reports, it seems this was the same goblin we had put down today. The goblin's name is Zork - it came in Bendir Dale with a malicious sneer and Rosary recognized it right away. It refused to leave and Sugarpaw put it down with a few bolts from her crossbow. It tried to summon demonic magicks but it was put down before able to summon any dark creatures.

The goblin was tied up tightly to a tree in the Mylock Hills. I personally have collected acid from certain exotic animals in the past for instances such as these - and used that acid to burn anything of evil nature I found on him, such a necromantic-looking staff, an idol to one of the devil deities, and so forth. I also invited the nearby birds of prey to make use of his decomposing body as there's no reason why we can't incorporate him into the natural life cycle now in his stage of death.

The Acorn

Gulliver Goldwoods, the Acorn, posts a sturdy leaf with scribbles upon it within the heart of town hall. Some tear stains would be found on the paper:

Currently: There are two winged kobolds - whom are also known as "dragonwroughts" - that have been causing trouble in the nearby lands, and already once in our lands once. They were originally banned for a week by Officer Skit Gwil and unfortunately that week is up. She has given a warning to them that she will gladly ban them at any sight of trouble, but until the laws are fixed up, she won't place a ban on them yet. The male of them is of Chromatic heritage, and the female claims to a "pyrokin". The male is much more cunning, where as the female is much more vicious.

Proceed with caution when dealing with these creatures and do not trust them. They are inherently evil. They are currently are attempting to lure " labourers" out for "work" - but I sense this is a clever trap!

History: Some moons ago, I was driving out spiders in the Shekat Caverns in the northern part of the Amia Forest. While in the caverns, a group of adventurers walked in with these two creatures - immediately after finding out I was a gnome, they charged me with their weapons and tried to kill me. The adventurers merely watched. Unfortunately for them, they knew not the powers of the wild and were charred by lightning and mauled by some animal friends of mine. We (the animals and I) had defended ourselves and killed them after they attacked us. We then let the adventurers peacefully take the bodies away of the two dragonspawns, wishing never to meet them again. This was not the case. Ever since they attacked because of my heritage, I have been trying to stop and halt any attempted assassins towards the Children of Garl.

Morten, a resident of Bendir Dale and priest of the Hound can also attest to their foul ways. He has run into them outside of Bendir Dale, where he has told me that they have bragged of killing many gnomes.

They are vile to the core and have slippery silver tongues. In return of my victory over them, they have plotted and continue to try to turn others against me and spread lies. Once we begin to establish ourselves as a community again, I am sure that balance will be restored to this entire matter. Until this day comes, I will ask for all to keep an eye on them and halt any evil intentions or threats from them that they witness - and to also report them immediately.

May the Masked Leaf watch over our wanderings,

The Acorn.

Those weeks ago, he accepted the welcome with a ready smile, I can't be certain that it will remove the taint... but I'm hopeful it will at least help.

When she returned a few hours later with the stew, she would have seen a few of the pieces beginning to take shape, mostly prefabricated it would seem and merely being put together on the spot by the artificer. There would be several bits of piping as well as three cylindrical containers of varying sizes, from as big as a hin to the size of a watermelon, all made entirely of Mithril.

He would take the time to pause in his work and enjoy the stew and water, even enjoying some light conversation with the unfamiliar hin, though a furrow would begin to knit his brow. Eventually he would thank her for the stew, but quietly excuse himself, I'm afraid I don't feel so well... please make sure the work site is not disturbed in my absence.

He would not have been seen again in the Dale since that day.

As time passes and the materials left untouched Breazy carefully covers them and casts a few precautionary spells on it to resist and repel any elemental damage.

Still more days past and every time she sees the covered pieces a concerned frown furrows her brow. Eventually, concerned with the materials and what had happened she sends a note off by courier to Burak Rundar inquiring after the man and his material, knowing that Reddok had set the work up.
