[Bordermarch] Outrage

[Lathrop, Dave]

Nomis,

Upon recently returning from Their Royal Majesties, Gunthar and
Elizabeth's, glorious Coronation, I was truly filled with good cheer;
and then, Poof!!! the joy vanished when I spied your missive attached to
the leg of a scrawny, half starved pigeon.
By the pigeon's condition, I can only assume you are deep within our
neighbors borders.

The Leatherman was indeed viciously attacked!
He had just finished skinning out another chicken, and was preparing its
hide for use as a personal cod piece, when the assassin let go with a
mighty blow to the Leatherman's skull. Witnesses report that there was
blood drawn that day from the Leatherman's head, but the pig lard that
he religiously slobbers onto his pate every morn to lure the flies from
his bowl of gruel, acted like a slippery ward, and deflected the
assassin's blow just enough to prevent the Leatherman's early demise.

Fear not Nomis, for I have been assured by our friends within Ansteorra
that they will be at our side for the great battle ahead. I cannot share
all of our strategies with you, perchance you are captured and tortured
again. 
You might have forgotten, but the last time you were captured, you
spilled the beans to the old lady who pulls the dung-cart in the
village. She just happened to be passing your dungeon window and you
begged for some molded cheese and companionship. She provided to you the
cheese, but withheld the companionship, and still managed to obtain your
secrets.

Pam has not returned to her formerly feral state. She has blossomed into
a lovely young lady and cares deeply for our people and their lands.
As for the gimpy armed gardener, and the rest of those under our
watchful eye; they are silent with any deeds or actions that might
compromise the security of our fair barony. Should they incur our wrath,
the justice dealt them will make all who would perform acts of treason
shake for fear of their own capture!

HE Santiago

   Where is the outrage.  The gnashing of teeth.  The gathering of arms.
   The forming of units, the calls to defend and the stalwort replys?

   I have long been on the road and reporting the divious and
underhanded
   deeds our neighbors have been up to but nobody seems to take heed.  I
   know that I am old and on in my years but this is a real concern!

   I have just learned of an attack on the fine man known as the
   leatherman.  reports to me indicate that he suffered an axe blow to
   his head.  Little did his assailent know that this was the most
   heavily armoured part of his person(due to his thick and large
   cranium).  The leatherman suffered a severe cut to his head but is
   expected to survive.  such is the luck.....i mean oh how lucky we
   are.  my concern is where is the alarm, outrage and call to action
   against such attacks?  The silence would leave me to believe that
   there is a conspiracy afoot. One can only suspect the one armed
   gardener and her acomnplices such as the brewer, swordsman and
others.

   We are under threat of iminent siege and nobody seems to care!  While
   the goat lovers seem to be massing an army on our borders there does
   not seem to be any concern on our part.  People, whilst I care deeply
   for my livestock I do not plan on worshipping my goat as our
neighbors
   do!  Goats are for eating!  I think that the silence of the one eyed
   girl seems a little suspicious at this critical time.  Has anyone
   checked to see that she did not go feral on us again?  Could she have
   been an enemy plant?  Could the one armed gardener and others fallen
   under her spell and become double agents????  My head hurts at the
   possibilities and possible answers to my questions...must sleep...
   take a nap....not sleeping just closing my eyes.... hope this finds
   its way into the right hands....

   Nomis
