~Greenholm Supper Party!~

~Good ol’ Brandybrook fun!~

Times may be tough, but us weefolks have hearts ten times as tough! In spite of recent events, us halflings had a splendid meal inside the Greenholm burrow, with all sorts of lovely food being served!

 

~WAR in Brandybrook!~

~A little meeting to gauge interest in the Aegrothond navy~

With the recent declaration of war by the Demonic hordes upon the fair lands of Aegrothond, us halflings have given our best to assist our Elven neighbors! We’ve been provided with Elven-made armor and weaponry, and in exchange we are to defend our wee homelands as best as possible! Our trusty ship, the Spicy Shrimp, is to be outfitted to join with the Aegrothond navy and aid in anti-Demon activities at sea! Our own wee bodies are to be put to good use as medics, archers, and perhaps even soldiers in the land war against the Demons as well. The Demons shall fear the might of our shovels!

 

~Victory in Aegrothond!~

~Halflings gather in the back of the Citadel, serving as the second line of defense!~

The first battle against the Demons has been a massive success! All of the Demons were killed or forced to flee, with very few casualties on our own side! Thanks to the support of archers, magicians, druids, and medics, we kept casualties to a minimum and defeated Demons to a maximum!

~Siramenor under siege!~

~The battle in the streets!~

~The halflings go back to Brandybrook after a long battle, telling the others of their triumphs!~

I personally was a medic in this grand battle, and I am delighted to tell you readers that I struggled to find morbidly wounded soldiers in need of my assistance. It seems that, for the most part, these Demons have failed in their first attack upon us, doing nothing but tense up our nerves.

 

Furthermore, we have some halfling heroes of this battle! Minto Townsend, a Brandybrook resident, was awarded with a Druidic token of honor after the battle. Not to mention the many other halflings who all deserve their own little award for their constant acts of heroism in this struggle. May Knox bless us all!

 

~Other Things~

~The newest family in Brandybrook having a drink in the tavern!~

Of course, outside of all this, village life continues as normal. The tavern gets many visitors every day, and we continue to burn through our booze supply at a rapid rate. New halflings show their face in the village quite often, and we try our hardest to give ‘em burrows (Like Greta, for example, who just got hers). All in all, Brandybrook’s still quite a peaceful village, despite the hardships that come our way!

 

That’s all for now, folks!

The man reads the paper, he’d nod in approval, ”Finally a good paper!”

[Little__Lady 339]

Anne sits and reads the paper out loud to Sam and the other rats “Oi’m so proud of all teh halflin’s! We bes’ keep trainin’ if weh ever wan’ teh help in teh figh’in’!”

[Hermit_Jack 538]

a tattered, battered, and bruised minto would unravel a copy of the news in front of him, smiling as he read the paper. His new prized druidic dagger would sit in his lap.

[DAENGIE 514]

Halvar Edvardsson’s smile would widen in amusement as he stood aboard the deck of seahelm, reading the paper over. “Seems size truleh does nae matter. Good on teh wee folk.” He’d say before thinking to himself. “Wonder how many heads will roll once whatever demon was in charge of thes lot finds ou they were foiled by halflins...”

After returning home from attending the King’s wedding in Haense with his new friend, the epiphyte Zytka, halfling elder Falco Goldworthy spent the morning winding down with a cup of tea and the newspaper.

Good to know everyone is alright,

he thought.
