[Bordermarch] Populace dribble

[David Lathrop]

Nomis,
 
You have more or less ruined what little chance you ever had of wedding one of the fine ladies of Barony Bordermarch. You now tread in quicksand for my Lady Elisabeth has her own network of confidants who are loyal only to her. If she hasn't already sent some trackers out to keep tabs on your whereabouts, I would be surprised!
 
You have questioned Lady Catalina's, HE Elisabeth's Lady in waiting, loyalty to Bordermarch without any regard to her years of service and dedication to our barony; YOU FOOL! 
Lady Catalina was raised by a troop of very mean and obnoxious circus midgets. She has knowledge of their "low quarter" style of fighting. I was witness to her awesome footwork when the village cooper made a ugly comment about the calluses on her left foot; she let out a mighty scream and vaulted straight into the air. When she reached the apex of her ascent, Lady Catalina's left foot shot straight out and clipped the cooper smack in the knee cap. Before the cooper hit the ground, Lady Catalina managed to spin in mid-air and poke him in the eye with the big toe of her other foot. The cooper now keeps his comments to himself and avoids all contact with females.
 
I do not know of the women in the Outlands, but my guess is they differ little from ours. 
I now fear for your safety more than ever.
 
HE Santiago

Ahhhh,

So now we hear from Her Excelency's Lady in Waiting, or should we say lacky in collusion.  Interesting how her plea for the defence of the Baroness was met with resounding silence.  
Her Excelency's cook did all but confirm that the main hall is commonly covered in the innars of our poor and unfortunate livestock.  Shocking to say he is use to using this tripe 
for his food fare.

What, I ask, is in the name Lady in Waiting?  What is she waiting for?  The Baron's demise?  The exposure of the Baroness's evil plots so that she can be the next in line to sit 
next to the Baron?  What will the Cat woman protest next?  My devoted service to the Baron?  The Swordsman's absent minded thoughts and ramblings?  The dimwitted brewers vile stew?  
Oh does thou protest too much!  History is dotted with the stories of women "supporting" her man to his demise.  Lets not add to the book.

My tough job is to keep the watch to insure it does not happen on my watch.  Obviously the Baron has sent out a call for support, for the assasin's are now at his beck and call.  
Long have I toiled for this barony to protect her and help it grow.  It seems that my work will never be done.  Even from this far away land of the Outlands I am forced to keep part 
of my vast skills of espionage turned inward watching for the next betrayal.

Where I ask is the Tinker?  Surley his close call in his wagon accidet did not scare him into silence!  What of the one armed gardener, is she not up to defending this barony?  Or 
is she working with the swordsman to "protect and serve"?

Tied now, must get some sleep.

In service to the Baron
Sim.. Nomis
