Her cloak of shdows drawn tight around Belladonna watches Inpan depart, a small smile on her face to see her working so hard. A hin used to both the day and night she follows Inpan to make sure she stays safe from the slavers and other ner do wells that seem to haunt the forests these days. Satisified that Inpan is safe she turns into the rapidly approaching daylight and disappears into the trees, a short while later, a large thud and a tremendous gust of wind can be heard as if some giant creature had just taken flight. |

*Letter to Egan* My dear Harlequin. Thank you for taking on the task of organising the festivities. I was planning on kick starting the event with an offering ceremony to Brandobaris. I will be holding the ceremony regardless, but may I suggest the festival to be opened after the offering has taken place? Johanna Hardingdale. *The letter is signed along with a doodle of one of Johanna's many masks.* |

| Post subject: | [IC] Odd occurences through out the Dale |
Wherever Blank walls can be found, or upon the side of livestock, rock faces and multiple other flat surfaces eloquent drawings of Hin in warlike garb begin appearing bearing a suspicious resemblance to certain high profile Hin known to regularly frequent the Dale. Beneath each drawing is a name, the one beside the carts bearing the name of Tyle Lorrowfire Corporal The Apple and Fig regiment. Within the gates on the far east wall wedged in the stonework is a picture of six Hin, four which resemble a certain captain in the dale the other two being artfully and modestly drawn Hin females, beneath which are scrawled Hojanna, Torrow Lylefire, Fyle Forrowlire, Erifworrot Elyl, Ol' Feller and Hardanna Joh. Beneath the names in plain script is written Peach Squadron, Grape Company, The Apple and Fig regiment. Typically all the Hin depicted are wearing peach coloured uniforms. A large Hin with an officious air is later seen studying the Hin coming and going, of note are the large dollops of peach coloured paint splattering his armor. |

-Perry casts his vote for Okra to be Captain -Sugrin votes for Okra for Captain -Tommi votes for himself for Captain. -Drudo is unsure who to vote for Sergeant since he doesn't know many of the Fist Warriors personally then just picks Suzy since he remembers hunting with her a few times and being a capable fighter. -Daniel votes for Johanna for Captain. -Nick thinks to himself "what difference does it really make if the other Captain must already be a Fist member? hmm...?" then votes Nina, just to stir things up. //i'm sure i don't get a vote for all my hin, but i figured i'd put there responses anyways |

Talon's militia application is posted in the town hall. It is untampered aside from one word, in big red lettering, across the whole of the the application. Denied. Notably, it's in Lyle's handwriting. |

*Okra looks at the application paying particular attention to the Race, Experience and Patron fields. He presses his lips together until they turn white and allows himself a grimace of displeasure* "No mention of tha Muther or any of her Children? Yer gonna need to do a bit better than a fluffy bundle of artistry, thinly disguised mockery, and a mention of fruit to pass muster with this company." *He wanders off looking for his siblings to determine if anyone has encountered "Talon".* |

On her way to Morgan & Sons Johanna Hardingdale spots the page with big red lettering. Being drawn in by the single word 'denied' she has a read of the application. As she does, a smile grows over time as she continues to read on. "Shaundakul... I approve" she says to herself while nodding. "Shame he's a Strongheart, though. But hey.. We can't all be perfect." Johanna looks around noticing the clerks looking in her direction so she decides to leave before they think she's really lost the plot. |

*a elf hands a letter to a guard with instructions to bring it to his commanders* I would like to file a complaint, i was in your lovely town during this festival and was assulted by gas granades and caltrops without the guard doing anything! Pranks are fine with me, but this is malignant and innosents could have been hurt. Caltrops are hardly a plaything, a item specifically designed to maim and hurt people. Not all your citizens are protected by magical items and even in full plate it still hurts to have your foot penetrated by a caltrop, imagin what would have happened if a child had stepped on it and tripped?!

Any one can nominate any one here, who will then be formally reviewed by Captain Torrowfire, and then the Mayor himself. Only militia members need nominate. As well, include a summart of why they would be a good leader.
Nominations can be sent either to Captain Torrowfire ((Bobo_Underhill)) or Mayor-General Nof Barshedge ((GothicSauce)). //the violet and red lines are kinda misleading and contradict each other |

After reading it, Willow spends several days thinking about who would be best for the position and finally casts her vote. She hands it over to Nof. I vote Ukre for Captain because he's proactive, gets involved, makes things happen, and does a good job at protecting the town. |

If you happen to be passing the Graveyard at Bendir Dale, or happen to have overheard or even been there, there is a grave which says: "Marisa Ondenfare A great sister A loving mother May Yondalla give her happiness in the afterlife" And a sole candle stands by the grave |

// Would it be too much to ask to add a section about local Bendir Dale movements and organisations? Obviously it'll be a task to gather all details. But if there's a character around that is into collecting data is around (Either PC or NPC) then the local lore could be ICly accessible (via use of forum & wiki). Even redundant factions might be good to include for use for DMs and Players alike for reference on Bendir Dale's growth and development. |

*A delicately written letter lays on the Mayor Nof's desk.* "Greetings to you, Mayor Nof. I've written to you in hopes of being able to be a Resident of Bendir Dale. My name is Richard Pakasin'lak, an Elven Monk and a student of the Shadow Dancing ways. I've stayed in Winya for a time but *A few ink splotches cover part of the page, most probably of thinking on what to write.* I can't write it down since other eyes may see it and think rather harshly of me. Apologies if this makes you rather suspicious. If you would like the interview you may find me sitting around Bendir Dale or talking with some of the other Residents there. I'm just under six feet tall, blue eyes and dark hair, you won't find any weapons about my person other than the ones I find from hunting. I do hope you can find time to interview me. Thankyou for reading. Richard Pakasin'lak" |

Benki, naturally sees the new grave site since he spends his nights in a tent there and a good portion of his days at the grave site as well. He says a few prayers to the Black Hound and performs a traditional Ghostwise tribal song to Urogalan which is performed with deep toned rumbling drums. An eerie sound radiates from where he performs, possibly spooking many who hear it. // Edit: Typo |

*egan smiles at the letter from the offended folk and thinks that Brandobaris would be happy. For he himself sold out his supply of stink bombs to the Bendir youth. He is proud that the Bendir youth seemed so able to pelt tallers with mischief and care. A prank that injures..is no prank at all. Often it is the clown that brings humility and wisdom to those to proud to listen to peers. It is the fool, the prankster, the rogue who are charged with lightening what often is a sad dark world. Praise to the fool and may the world always hear the laughter.* //and I hear ya Bobo..I stuck an I.V. of coffee and Mountaindew in my arm at 4am. |

When Madock sees the new grave he sets up candles and perfoms yet a third blessing on the gravesite, he prays that Urogalan will protect her soul and take her into his realm in peace. He then finishes the ceremony by digging a bit into the grave and inserting a wooden carved dog and covering it up again with dirt. |

Dear Mayor Nof, Since the recent changes to the Dale, we have yet to set up a proper system to manage our sales tax, donations and the public treasury as a whole. As such, I would like to propose to elect a treasurer to manage the public funds. As stated in my previous notice: Quote: The candidate should be someone who is mature, honest and good with numbers. The duties of this position would be to maintain public treasury records, manage public funding for development projects. Quote: Number of nominations

-Militia Application- Name: Sugo Gennet Division Desired: Scouts Race: Halfling (Regular) Patron: Valkur How Long Have you Been A Resident: I was a reseident for a while before I had to move back to the South, but I intend on moving back to Bendir Dale shortly. Experience: 24 Seasons experience with a bow and melding with the Shadows More About You: I follow orders, can have fun, understand duty and chain of command, and I wanna give back to Bendir. I was born and raised in Cordor South and i've been floating around that area my whole life. I've had good relationships with several of the Hin from the Dale. You may remember me as the Hin that stumbled in after a Dragon bit off my leg, and now I have an Ironwood peg-leg in place of my left shin. I hope you consider me strongly as I believe my shadowdancing as well as prowess with the bow could bring quite a bit of strength to the Scout Division. Thank You |

Yet another picture appears in the Dale this one poetically stuck to one of the trees. Upon it is a picture that looks strikingly familiar to a certain druidess riding on the back of a large wolfen critter flailing a staff wildly at two kindly looking dwarves. In plain common beneath. Dillow and Windae defeat the mighty dwarven incursion. |
