Morning Everyone
It’s been an interesting morning so far,
we’ve had an envoy from the Ratlin council in the Illenial hills come down this
morning, not the usual complaints of too many adventurers straying from the agreed
treasure drops to get easy wins, but an enquiry into what we were doing
different that’s caused the attacks to cease entirely.
We sent a few of you out in the day to
see what’s been going on, turns out that all the local non-human population
have been experiencing far lower levels of attack from overzealous idiots
trying to make a quick win.
Seems that the fear of the virus is
keeping our local Murderhobo population inside, drinking and eating to forget
their problems. Net result, a whole lot
of the people who normally get the brunt of their attacks are wondering why
there’s been no attacks. I have assured
them that this isn’t some grand strategy by the Murderhobos to put them in a
false sense of security before they come back, but I have recommended that they
spend the time putting up better defences while they’ve got chance. Tuckers
kobolds were travelling through the area a few days ago, and I’ve put in a
recommendation that they get in touch and see if they can’t make life a little
harder for our resident lunatic fringe.
It does raise an interesting point
though, as most of the work we do is out there in the wilds working commissions
for people we barely know. No pension
plan for adventurers, and the city council considers us to be self employed,
and we all know that regular wages isn’t something that any of us can prove, so
we’re unlikely to be getting paid any time soon. We’ll continue to offer contracts where we
can and we’ll vet them where they can, but you need to be aware that we don’t
know how well the virus transmits to other races, or indeed if it does. We know that it affects Humans, Wilde, Aetherics, and Samca, but we don’t know if it’s going to transfer to anything
else.
That said, word back from the
shapeshifters squad, they’ve been running a few experiments over the last few
weeks, just to see what the situation is.
Several of you have reported that there’s been a sneezing wolf running
around the outskirts of town, I can now let you all know that that’s Freya
Ironclaw, she’s had the virus for a while and was working to see if her lupine
form might be able to throw it off any faster.
Turns out that the only thing that goes faster is the time between
sneezing and going to the toilet, she’s resting up the in the temple at the
moment, the paladins have got her under care for now, so if you see any more
sneezing wolves out there, be sure to let us know, she doesn’t think that the
virus transmits, but we need to keep an eye on it in the meantime.
Nothing else for the morning, stay away
from the Ratlin encampments, you know what Tucker’s get like, and we’ve got
enough trouble without you lot coming back perforated, just remember…
Let’s be careful out there…
