The Robbery of Berryknee Burrow

'Allo der fellow residents of ta' Shire. Eet grieves me so tha' me first lettah tu all'ov'ee has to be in ay' negative light. This howevah cannot stand an' I need to warn all the other weefolk of our village. In the night it appears a robbah stole not onlee a lil' from our familys' storage to construct our new home - but a vast greedy hoard! We lost nearly all of our metal for tools to dig, nearly all of our require timber to build our frames, and random decorative keepsakes we wanted to hang on dah walls. 

 

It grieves me to see our village the subject of such crime. As ay' newly moved in family, we can't help but feel threatened and our trust is now shaky. As yew all know - it is Halfling tradition to trust our neighbors and not lock our belongings. Eet seems by followin' dis we dah Berryknees were takin' advantage of by either a biggun or a weefolk (Knox forbid). Please spread dah word and le' catch this criminal or criminals! We mus' protect our traditions and ensure newcomers likeh meself dun' experience dis again.

 

~ Signed 

Bramble Berryknee

Bennet Hassenfort was livid. Absolutely livid. "Oi though' t'ings were goin'a be differen' a' 'Ay'ollo' Bywa'er. Bu' i' looks loike t'em darn burglahs are alwehs lookin' fo' trouble!" He shook his head as he pounded the hammer against the nail, setting up the front door frame of the unfinished burrow he was planning to live in. "Le' 'em come ter t'is burro'. Oi'll be readeh."  He muttered with a smirk as he continued to hammer away the nails upon the wooden frame.
 

 

Enderial found one of the letters during his visit to the new halfling village of Hayhollow. Upon reading it, he furrowed his brows in pure disgust as he shook his head, "Stupid burglars! Robbing the nice wee' folk! How pathetic and low can they be?", he made a mental note to stab any burglar, robber, or anyone who wishes harm to Hayhollow with his lance.
