NotEvilAtAll 9926 Share Posted March 25, 2023 [!] Yet more halfling propaganda enters your aviary mailbox The Cult Fails Again! ~Victory with little bloodshed! A lovely thing to be had~ Once again, the iblees-worshipping cultists tried to kidnap, loot, and destroy us innocent halflings of Bywater! Once again, they have failed! Three big-folk cultists in black armor rode into the shire, seeking to catch us off guard. However, when the other halflings and adventurers came back to the Village Hall, two of the cultists ran for the hillside, abandoning the third to his fate! In a display of cowardice, the last cultist grabbed a nearby halfling to serve as a hostage to negociate his freedom (poor Alculf!). He was cornered, beaten back, and his captive freed with no casualties to speak of! Once defeated, he groveled and begged for our mercy. He was revealed to be but a child, nay older than fifteen to sixteen or so, wearing a warrior's armor (such a shame that the cultists resort to Child Soldiers!). He broke down into tears and begged for forgiveness. This forgiveness was granted to him by the all-merciful halfling state. Although he threatened to kill poor ol' Alculf, he is now sorry (or so he claims) for what he's done. He wrote this apology to us: If he is found in Bywater again, we will not be so merciful! Knox rewards those who keep promises! ~Mimosa Applefoot, Mayor of Bywater. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
