Should be good for me.

// works for me

Tarich, seeing the invitingly long list of names, writes his down as well without actually reading the poster.

Ulrik,

As long as our laws are obeyed and no banned people are brought in (Which I imagine are the same people you dislike any ways), you have our support. That includes Sharrans (suspected or confirmed), Horsemen, Cultists, etc.

-Lyle
Mayor and Stuff

*A brief note is returned.*

Lyle,

You can be assured Bendir Dale laws will be respected. You have my thanks for your continued support and hospitality. Mystra's blessings on you and yours.

`Ulrik

Another message left at the Town hall.

"Another slaver attack on Bendir Dale lands, I tried to fight them off but failed in my attempt, Others scared them off though, They seem to be attacking more then Frequent.

~Snobbles"

*another message has been put by green robed earth genasi female*

"We have been interrupted in our construction efforts by fight outside Bendir Dale. When can we schedule continuation of our efforts? Please send message to Crouching Lemur Monastery.

Solid paths,

Gromida"

Crow leaves a note with Cindle at Pilineth's request:

Quote:

I was standing watch outside the gates of Bendir when a Triadic Knight was trying to arrest a human named Felix for his involvement with slavers and Cultists.
During this time, a monk/shadowdancer named Anen was annoyingly attacking Felix while he was being questioned on Dale lands.
I was trying to assist the Knight, and a fight broke out in the frontier just south of the Dale.
The Knight and Felix were both killed, the Knight was raised, and Felix's body was burned to ash.
A human female, blonde hair, blue eyes, wearing blue chain shirt and a black cloak attacked Anen, and they chased each other about like children on a schoolyard, with the female being brought down eventually.
I believe she was taken to the Salandrans, but I am unsure.
Miss Pilineth was a help to us in this encounter.
~~Crow

[Just beyond the Dale, into the frontier can be seen the tell tale signs of a battle. Scorch marks and magical blasts cover the road and hills. All along the southern road, are large pools of blood and imprints where bodies once lay. Some say that an hour prior to the discovery of the scene, Slavers we're seen traveling the area.]

Pilineth seeing such yells a large meddly of curses

Attention all welcome of the dale that have any sense of decency.

No doubt you've seen the ridiculous amount of attacks on the Dale recently by Salvers and the like. No doubt you feel its about time we fought back properly. Well this is what I'm proposing.

If they feel they can waltz up and attack our township, then we sure as hells can theirs. Tarkuul. With enough men on our side we can make a decent enough attack. And destroy THEIR morale. Attack THEIR citizens. And show them we aren't a load of pie eating, peaceful, non retaliating idiots.

So if you're willing, please meet with me in the Inn, where we will prepare.

We will deliver the crippling blow. Just for gods sake don't let this information slip.

~Pilineth N'sa

// Obviously need DM oversight for this, and I'm shooting for next saturday, no idea what time yet. So post when you're free.

*A citation is added at the bottom*

After possible Scrying or any extra information found we may be assaulting elsewhere.

Daisy reads the notice and immediately and enthusiastically signs her name, with several exclamation marks after it. "Ha! Take the fight to them, sure!"

It doesn't occur to her until later that keeping anything secret that's posted on a public notice board is probably impossible.

A silent female hin reads this and writes a response...

"You are ignoring the fact that most of the fights that happen right outside the Dale are because of fools who linger at our gates trying to stir up trouble... I speak of triadics... warknights... and yes even our neighbors to the north in the grove all stand at our gates and look for conflict... it isn't their homes their actions threaten its ours."

Eilora

Lyle sends Pilineth a note.

Pilineth,

We need to talk.

-Lyle

Dalers,

As you no doubt are aware, the cock-sucking worm-fucks interrupted bridge construction about midway though. I'd like to reschedule the completion for another day. Would a tenday from the previous be too soon? Postponed.

-Lyle

Receiving it Pilineth sighs and seeks him out

[A letter is left near the notice board]

"If you think you'll find us in Tarkuul or any other city you're sorely mistaken. We have many homes. Many bases of operation and we are ever on the move. We never stay in one place for long and most of our numbers are anonymous. We have stayed out of you're small village. The slaves we take for trade are always taken from the roads. You want to find us? Start patroling the roads surrounding you're villages. You want us to leave you alone? Quit allowing easy targets to loiter beyond you're gates. Nine times out of ten, we need only show our faces and the adventurers present hunt us and attack. By all rights, we take our slaves from the aftermath of battles in self defense. In fact, most of our slaves come from capturing the idiots who think they can arrest us while we travel the country side. For this, you have only yourselves to blame."

~The Commander

Lyle takes down the notice and orders the militia to kill who ever posted it on sight next time, should they be within the gates.

People of Bendir Dale,

I'm calling a town meeting. Please list times you're available, and I'll try my best to organize it.

-Mayor Lyle

I'm around whenever. Just state the time, I'll be there.

~Pilineth
//Monday to Thurs day and sunday I'm free from 4pm to 10pm GMT. And Friday and Saturday I can stay up to pretty early hours of the next day, though sooner rather than later is preffered.

Having just this very day encountered a weirdo crazy voice among kin who should have had every reason to be sensible, Daisy resolves to herself to be there. Someone needs to stand up for sensible folk, she tells herself.

// I'm available in the evenings/nights, after 9pm or so, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and most Sundays (US Central Time). On other days, and in the afternoons, my availability is variable and largely unpredictable.

I will make the time for you dearie.

~Missus~

//after 6pm Monday-Thursday this week. US Eastern Time.

a silent hin nods and leaves a note

I will do my best to attend

Eilora

\\any evening time should be good

Outside the Gates a crude sign has been placed up, simply reading "Piss off Slavers"

A silent hin is seen leaving a note for all to see on the door to the mayors office

Quote:

Please be cautious if you travel anywhere near the Trummels... there has been some suspicious activity near the shrine of Talona of late and I believe it to be a group of blighters. Be watchful for rats and vermin that clearly carry a disease as well... We can't afford to have a blight spread to the dale. All I know so far is that a male and female were the ones who did a ritual there...

Eilora

Hearing rumour, a furious Cormyrian half-elf storms to the Salandran Temple. She is clad in leather armours of red and silver, and the hoarse whisper her voice has become in yelling out of sheer anger identifies Seleine easily. She gets to Malatril's side, and when he's raised, has only one thing to say...

"I want their name."

// Thinking Saturday around 10 pm GMT / 5 pm CST. Opinions?

\\works for me

//Sounds good.

Ross pens up a note with the tell-tale dirt smudges on the corners.

I'll try my best to make it.
Roscoe

// I think I may be working at that point, but we'll see! //

I will be there!

Sally

Deciding to visit Bendir Dale on one of her trips to the main island, Serena gazes at the notice, pulls on her bleached-blond ponytail in contemplation, and resumes her usual task: minding her own business.

Gromida returns couple of days later, holding a scroll case under her arm. She notices last corrected message and makes a small frown. She then enters town hall and after a short talk with Cindle, she leaves scroll case and a message for Mayor.

"To Mayor Lyle

I am discomforted to hear reconstruction is delayed. I would like for us to meet and discuss this soon if possible. I have left copy of plans I made in case I am unable to attend reconstruction at later date.
I expect your response.

Gromida"

In scroll case are rough schematics of the missing part of the bridge, made on two large sheets of paper.

Quote:

Lord Mayor Lyle Torrowfire,

Please accept this letter of introduction from the people of Mulhorandi and more specifically, the town of Djedet.

I am AkhenOsiris Amon Khu, Servant of the Justified One, Lord Osiris, member of the House of Osirant. In the common tongue I am known as Cedric. My people have heard of your troubles with slavers and other hostilities near your dale and even to the very gates of your homes. I have been given the duty of Emissary to the Dale and seek to meet with you to discuss how the Mulhorandi people may assist you in your time of need and to see if we might set up trade between Bendir Dale and Djedet. We seek stone and wood, among other supplies and can offer items in trade. We will soon also state openly our position on the slavery issue as we feel many on the island do not know clearly what it is.

I would seek your time so that we may sit over a selection of good foods and drinks from our lands, dates, figs and good wines as well as more. A small sampling of the many bountiful blessings our land is given by the Gods. I hope to hear your reply soon Lord Mayor Lyle Torrowfire. I can be reached in Wharftown or The Nomand in Cordor.

Long life.

AkhenOsiris Amon Khu
Priest of Osiris
House of Osirant

//I am normally available after 9pm Central US time.

AkhenOsiris Amon Khu of Osiris,

It is my honor to receive your letter. I have to admit, I've little knowledge on customs in the Khem region. I'll try to meet with you, however Lyam Thornhill has my full faith and permission, should I be unable to meet with you. We're redesigning the militia structure, possibly, so things may be up in the air, but we're very appreciative.

-Mayor Torrowfire

This notice and stack of forms are left on the edge of Lyle's desk in the town hall.

A proper Temple dedicated to Yondalla and the Children! I don't think it's right that our shrines are scattered around the city in random places and stuck behind buildings, like some sort of afterthought. They need a proper home!

Thank you, Citizen! your vote means everything to us.

You're weclome!

I have spoken to Lilith the white dragonkin, and she hopefully will not bring her undead on Dale lands. Though she will be using the cart services, I doubt she will linger.

Yup

I think we should start by letting people know Bendir isn't just what's within the gates.

3) What public works project would you like to see next? Crafting hall in the old lake cave, etc.

Dunno Oh; a large lookout platform or tower.

(note sent back)

Lord Mayor,

We offer help as we can. Perhaps our Sehkry may help with the militia if he has the time. I will send word if you wish.

I will meet with whomever you wish to discuss trade, the slaver issues you have and more.

Please let me know when you wish to meet or who to meet with as you will.

[YES] Most definitely.

[YES] Depends on where and why.

Walling in all of the Dale's land and posting guards at the gates; updated signs; the bridge; a proper earthen pit for rites.

Thank you, Citizen! your vote means everything to us.

Greetings, Mayor;

I am Koirra, a druid of the Grove nearby. One of our initiates informed me of a rumor she heard from a man named "Alfonse", that there was necromancy being practiced within the Dale and it might be attracting attackers. I know necromancy is illegal within your walls, and I am not pointing fingers. I just wish to inform you someone is spreading rumors about this, and it is worth looking into- all the while not causing much of a panic or strife.

If you wish to speak further, you can leave a note within the Grove, or perhaps at the gates.

With respect;
-Koirra
