			A young burnt-faced girl says, "I supposed to say...when you go for the Brotherhood...with the traitor metal men from the Empire…"

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "That you are supposed to..."

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "Supposed to think twice."

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "And supposed to tell the metal men and their leader that."

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "Because....if they don't listen....and come for blood...there is going to be a lot of burnt Hundirans.”

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "Hamdorans...Hendor people."

			Speaking curiously to a young burnt-faced girl, Meureii asks, "Who told you to tell us this message?”

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "Our King."

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "He said...the metal men will be sorry. So to listen."

			Speaking to a young burnt-faced girl, Ariond asks, "Were you paid to deliver this message, sweetie?”

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "Yes."

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "We are always paid, and eat. Our King is good."

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "He's trying to help."

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "He said, Hamdorins will burn."

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "Please. Make sure they know."

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "I hope they come, so they can burn and die."

			A young burnt-faced girl says, "Like the ones who killed my daddy."

			Rysus' threat to burn the Hendorans was probably not the main message he was sending and it was no surprise. He is rallying the townsfolk to the Rook's side -perhaps more so than we realized - with bribes of food and shelter and the lie that Talador and Hendor are the same soldiers who will kill their families. I think his real message is that when we make our move to rid the Landing of the Rooks, we will not be fighting just the Rooks, we will be fighting our own. That is, unless we do a better job to feed, shelter, protect and deliver our own message to those who were displaced during the war with Talador.</pre>

			This evening, a group of town militia escorted the prisoner Drangell from an undisclosed location, and transported him into a new cell in the depths of the town's prison. Almost a year ago, Drangell came to the town in the form of a troll and led an army of his kind to siege Wehnimer's Landing. He did so under the command of Grishom Stone.

			After almost two months of battling the troll siege, the heroes of Wehnimer's and their allies defeated Drangell, unraveling his dark curse that returned him from an immortal troll to his old giantman form.

			Drangell had originally been secreted away in a location known only to Mayor Walkar and Marshal Khylon, in fear that the summoner Grishom would try to free him. With the threat of Stone no longer around, Drangell has now been returned to the prison in Wehnimer's Landing.

			A few townspeople ventured into the prison and saw his cell, claiming he was filled with rage and threatened people as they passed. When guards were asked if he would stand trial, they had no comment.


			OOC NOTE:

			Inside the town prison, you will find the new cell of Drangell. It might require a bit of…exploring to find. Hang out a bit, and he just might insult you too!

			}}Last evening, [[Drangell]] and his band of loyal [[Brotherhood of Rooks\|Rooks]] once again terrorized the people of [[Wehnimer's Landing]]. Instead of his shadowy thugs sniping people from the shadows, this time they instead captured two adventurers at a time, and Drangell would publically call for a vote on who would live and die! This went on for over an hour as local adventurers kept getting captured, until finally a Rook Lair was discovered via a hidden passage in the [[Upper Trollfang]]. Drangell was confronted, beat down a few times, but due to his near immortality, he rose again and eventually escaped. Not long after, [[Larton]] was attacked in the Locksmith shop and it was discovered [[Edwina]] had been kidnapped by Drangell's forces! Her location and well being have not been discovered at this time, and no demands have become known.

			[[Thrayzar]], the town marshal, has already dispatched his best scouts to try to locate Edwina, in fears of a repeat tragedy such as befell [[Cosima]]. Rumors also have circulated that the other faction of the Brotherhood of Rooks, those who oppose Drangell, are also working to help discover her location.

			<pre{{log2}}>
			After the controversial arrest of the town marshal Thrayzar, there have been a number of rumblings, and outright protest among the townspeople of Wehnimer's Landing. Many citizens have begun to question how long their independence will last, while others passionately defend the Hendorans, praising them for their support and fairness. Many members of the Wehnimer's militia have grown disgruntled, some even picking a few fights with the Hendorans outside of town. Despite the unrest, no great riots or violence have occured just yet.

			However, whispered among the shadows of alleys and around the well in town, it is rumored that there has been an overnight increase in activity among the Brotherhood of Rooks, whether it is of those loyal to Drangell, or those loyal to Alendrial and Rysus, or perhaps both, remains to be seen. Mayor Puptilian and the Town Council have urged all citizens and adventurers to remain on high alert during this volatile time until the matters regarding Thrayzar's alleged crimes and investigation are settled.

			}}Days ago, the town marshal [[Thrayzar]] had been apprehended by [[Hendor]]an soldiers on charges of conspiracy to murder Sir [[Thadston]], and subsequently held in a magical crystal coffin within the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon\|Gryphon Holding]]. Late last night, upon hearing word of the orc’s imprisonment, [[Drangell]], his age old rival, launched a massive attack of [[Grimswarm]] on [[Wehnimer's Landing]], distracting the town defenders in the hopes of breaking into the Silver Gryphon’s stronghold and killing the vulnerable Thrayzar.

			Adventurers and heroes of Wehnimer’s Landing bravely stood sentry at the gates of town, fighting off wave after wave of Grimswarm and even Drangell as he would appear in battle from time to time. Eventually some of the fighting split off, as Drangell and some of his trolls and orcs attacked the Gryphon Holding, finally breaking inside and into the underground dwarven tunnels where Thrayzar had been held captive. Waiting for Drangell were a number of heroes, who had set up a trap to lure Drangell into a crystal coffin. It was revealed that Thrayzar had willingly agreed to a plan established by some heroic adventurers to use himself as bait, knowing Drangell would come try to kill him in his blinded arrogance.

			Drangell put up a fierce fight, but the gathered heroes were able to continuously beat him down, between spells and steel, eventually for a time slowing his regeneration ability, enough to have his bloody body thrown into one of the [[Bane coffin\|Bane Coffins]], as they are called. In the end, Drangell was sealed within one of the coffins before he could fully heal, and a short time later Thrayzar was freed from his magical containment, but was quite shaken and weak, barely able to talk or move. Drangell, inside his new magical prison, was carried off by Hendoran knights to an unknown location.

			Quickly after the neutralization of Drangell, a group of adventurers were tipped off to the possible location of [[Alendrial]] DeArchon in an underground hideout near the Abandoned Inn. A number of Rooks were present and put up a fight, but were quickly dispatched and the rest were sent scattering. Alendrial was located, and was quite surprised, but only remained defiant momentarily before she surrendered. Currently she is being held by Sir Thadston and the Hendorans in an unknown location.

			As the dust has settled from the battle with Drangell, a number of things have come to light. In the moments leading up to the conflict, it is said that one of the empty Bane Coffins beneath the Gryphon Holding was stolen by members and allies of the [[Brotherhood of Rooks]], those loyal to Alendrial and [[Rysus]]. In addition, a handful of Hendorans and Wehnimer’s militiamen lost their lives in the battle, but one Hendoran soldier who was temporarily housed in the [[House Daingneach Onoir\|Onoir Fortress]] has gone missing. The search has begun this morning for any details surrounding his whereabouts.

			The news of the elaborate ruse has spread across Wehnimer’s Landing, and a majority of the town militia is now relieved, along with the townspeople, that their town marshal had actually been in on the plan originally. Some townspeople are still angry that they were lied to and manipulated, but most are relieved that the threat of Drangell has been removed, regardless of the cost. In the coming day or so, Sir Thadston is expected to announce his plans for both Drangell and Alendrial DeArchon. With both figureheads of the warring sides of the Brotherhood of Rooks officially in captivity, many wonder if the threat of the Rooks will subside.

			Others however fear the worse, and warn that these events may only strengthen the Brotherhood of Rooks and their influence.


			OOC Note:

			I plan to do a follow up post as Thadston soon, but I wanted to make sure I did a little non-bias recap, since we all know how arrogant Sir Thadston is, heh. But I just wanted to also say, last night was awesome. First and foremost, thank you to everyone for your patience, as I was at all times running like 4-5 windows to keep up on all aspects of the conflict. Secondly, big shout out to the players, because many of you got together to put into motion this little idea of yours, with the ruse of Thrayzar arrested, to bait Drangell into a trap, etc etc. In fact, every single aspect of this entire thing was all player driven, I just helped to respond and play along. So thanks to all of those involved, and I hope everyone had fun, whether it was defending town, fighting in the Holding, or other nefarious and secretive things that may or may not have happened.

			Tonight I will be online, but mostly just some role playing with some NPC’s, and not super late, so feel free to get some rest if needed.

			"Citizens of Wehnimer’s Landing,


			Hendor is not your enemy.

			We are one of your most trusted and longest allies in the Turamzzyrian Empire. In recent years, your town and its people have known the missteps and misguided actions of Talador and Estoria, and even before those, Jantalar. These failures and misbehavior are not a true representation of the glory and generosity of the Turamzzyrian Empire, any more than branded murderers and dark sorcerers exemplify Wehnimer’s Landing.

			Hendor is not your enemy.

			We have come to your region, not as a conqueror, but as a friend. The walls of our outpost were not built to safely strategize for war against your town, but instead designed to serve as a bastion against our mutual enemies, some who thrive and manipulate even among you now. We have come to your region, not as an invader, but as a stalwart ally, offering both our might and expertise in further stabilizing the region, where peace will become the normal again, and chaos but a distant memory. We have come to your region, not as an intruder, but a welcome hand to help lift your people out of the ruin and suffering they have known for too long.

			Hendor is not your enemy.

			You may hear the whispers. You may even help spread the rumors yourself. You have seen the propaganda, you have overheard the murmurs. Despite the sea of hate and distrust that is being stoked like the fading embers of a fire, much like those dying flames, it too shall pass. Know that when it does, Hendor, your allies, will remain, unscathed by the onslaught of animosity and misdeeds, ready to continue the fight against our mutual enemies, and stand ever vigilant against darkness, whenever it should rear its head.

			Hendor is not your enemy. But the Brotherhood of Rooks is.

			Recently, I and your town have been at a standstill regarding the issue of leading operations against the Brotherhood of Rooks, unfettered, for two weeks to allow minimal chance of corruption. In exchange, I would offer detailed information to your towns leaders regarding influential trade contacts within Mestanir and Jantalar, as well as formally vouch for the town, which would hold more weight over Lord Brieson’s report, and help expand trade for Wehnimer’s Landing. This proposal was met quite loudly with opposition, and while I still see the folly in not trusting me and my men, as a soldier and as a leader, I refuse to allow a cessation to remain. Inactivity does nothing for our efforts, and only serves to strengthen the Rooks.

			Hendor is not your enemy. But the Brotherhood of Rooks is.

			Rysus, this self-proclaimed King of the Rooks, has placed bounties on the heads of both me, and my loyal soldiers. This does nothing to bring true prosperity to a people that are downtrodden, wounded, and hungry. This does nothing to bring true healing to a people that have suffered grievous losses, face unending loneliness, and feel abandoned and without hope. This does nothing to foster your own independence, and invites only more war, chaos, and bloodshed. This man, this thief and coward of a king, has thoughtlessly placed you, the townspeople of Wehnimer’s Landing in danger, using all of you as a wall of protection against him and his criminal allies. These are not the actions of a man who is here to protect you, or save you. These are the actions of a cruel, manipulative murderer, who hides behind the mask of a weakling, and the innocent lives of your town.

			Hendor is not your enemy. But the Brotherhood of Rooks is.

			We bring peace, defense, food and stability. The Brotherhood of Rooks bring only more war, division, and disarray. Wehnimer’s Landing is better than that, you are better than that. Will you venture to spill the blood of my soldiers? Or will you instead turn your focus on the true enemy, the man in the shadows, who would strengthen his underground kingdom on the bones of you and your loved ones. No, we must join together, to finally say good riddance to Rysus.

			To this end, I offer a new proposal and a plan for the future. Once your town’s militia has finished their initial newest phase of recruitment, and Captains have been appointed, I will lead cooperative strikes against elements of the Brotherhood of Rooks, working alongside the Wehnimer’s Militia, the Order of the Silver Gryphons, and the Order of the Azure Sun. It is in all of our best interests to neutralize the Rooks, refusing them any chance of recovering and expanding. Once these efforts are determined to have provided successful and satisfactory results, I will then dispatch my trade endorsements to Mestanir and Jantalar. In addition, I have officially placed a bounty of 20,000,000 silvers on the head of Rysus. To whoever brings me the leader of the Rooks, I will also grant upon them land, including all services and earnings from ownership of such an estate, in the Barony of Talador.

			Hendor is not your enemy. But the Brotherhood of Rooks is."


			Signed by my hand,

			Sir Thadston Andrews
			Commander of the Northern Outpost
			Lord of Hendor
			Knight of the Order of Llaestal’s Guard
			Defender of the Broken Kingdom

			A few evenings ago, the first join efforts between the Hendorans, the Landing Militia, and the Orders of the Silver Gryphons and Azure Sun were initiated, with three separate raids occurring simultaneously underground, striking at three discovered hideouts of members of the Brotherhood of Rooks.

			It did not take long before the fighting spilled out into the streets and environs, with thugs and bandits attacking the town gates and even the Hendoran outpost. Town heroes and defenders rushes to protect the walls of Wehnimer’s Landing, as reports began to circulate about imperial soldiers wearing Hendoran colors having been seen cutting down townspeople in the streets. Additional accounts soon trickled in during the fighting, that members of the Silver Gryphons and Azure Sun had killed young children inside of the Rook nests, some arguing it away as the Rooks using children as shields and propaganda, and others insisting it is just more evidence of imperials and their allies overstepping reach and butcher ways.

			A number of explosions rocked the town, as eye witnesses claimed to have seen members of the Brotherhood of Rooks, perhaps even Rysus himself, throwing crimson spheres into areas of the city. When the dust finally settled on the conflict, the three discovered Rook lairs had been collapsed, likely by the Rooks themselves, and both the Hendoran Outpost and Wehnimer’s Landing survived, pushing back the bandits and other attackers.

			Some items and documents were retrieved from the Rook hideouts before they were destroyed. A stockpile of armor and clothing bearing the colors of North Hendor were discovered, indicating that the Rooks had, or were going to, disguise members of their organization as the Hendoran soldiers. In another lair, the heroes discovered a stash of toys, ranging from siege miniatures to dice and coins. In the third attack, the heroes found a desk full of documents, some detailing maps of the western coastline of the Empire, and a handful of ship manifests and ledgers bearing the crest of Seareach and the surname of Councilman Juramis.

			Days ago, Councilman Juramis was last reported to have been in Brisker’s Cove, in the County of Seareach, where he had claimed to be traveling to on business with the intention of opening up more trade with Wehnimer’s Landing. Since the discovery of the documents bearing his surname, Councilman Juramis’ home has been raided by the Town Marshal Thrayzar, and witnesses claim some trunks and tomes were taken from the home, and it’s currently being guarded night and day by town guards. The investigation continues.

			While the people of Wehnimer’s Landing and the Hendoran Outpost celebrate a victory that night, it was short lived indeed. The following night, the gypsy fortuneteller shared visions of dozens of homes in North Hendor being ransacked, the women and children inside being bound and burned alive. These attacks occurred in various locations in the farmlands outside of Lolle, and inside the very city itself. The fortuneteller’s visions claimed the attackers were as dark as shadows, their coin-shaped eyes like moonlight. It was learned that the victims in North Hendor were the families of dozens of soldiers stationed at the imperial outpost outside of Wehnimer’s Landing.

			Word soon reached the soldiers, and chaos broke out momentarily, with two soldiers even dragging the prisoner Alendrial, once the leader of the Rooks, out of the depths of the outpost, attempting to make her jump from the outpost walls, or be riddled with crossbow bolts. The disarray was soon put to rest, Alendrial was saved by other soldiers, and the two rogue knights were disarmed and dragged off.

			It is exactly as the Brotherhood of Rooks warned, that if Hendor attacked, they would ensure Hendorans would burn, without ever indicating exactly who. Now, days after the slaughter, it has been revealed that sixteen families were murdered in and around Lolle, each family directly connected to a soldier who is at the Hendoran Outpost near Wehnimer’s. Rumors have already begun to circulate that the murders were carried out by agents of a criminal organization known as the Silver Kings, who are widely spread throughout the Turamzzyrian Empire.

			No other information has yet been made available, and no Hendoran soldiers have been seen outside of their outpost for days. Despite the silence from the Outpost, rumors still swirl around the town of Wehnimer’s Landing, some spouting off that the Silver Gryphons and Azure Sun are heartless butchers, while others quickly laying blame at the Brotherhood of Rooks for using innocent people as pawns.

			Some mopping up was done before the Rooks fell back. We gathered up at the outpost and we presented what we found in the Rooks nests.

			The nest hit by the Silver Gryphons contained a number of tabards, rings, banners, and shields with the standard of North Hendor upon them, suggesting that particular nest is where they kept the disguises that the "Imperial Soldiers" wore last night.

			The nest hit by the militia contained a number of ledgers, manifests, and sea maps. The maps had the route between Brisker's Cove, Vornavis, and Wehnimer's Landing detailed. The manifests and ledgers appeared to be the books that outlined the accounting and the goods being passed by the Rooks. Each of the books had the surname of Councilman Juramis identifying them, thus implicating him as being an accomplice of the Rooks.

			The nest hit by the Azure Sun contained... toys. Seriously. We found a bunch of siegery miniatures, some blood marble dice, and some crown-stamped coins. The coins might be significant, but I'm not sure if they amount to anything or not.

			After we brought in the haul, Thadston revealed the reason why he had been so insistent on this operation being managed by Hendor: he had acquired some evidence that implicated Juramis before last night, and furthermore that he had been working as a go-between for the Rooks and a group known as the Silver Kings (a rather extensive criminal organization in the Empire) and he wanted to find the evidence of this without alerting Juramis. Unfortunately, Pylasar told us several nights back that Juramis had gone to Brisker's Cove, so he may have been alerted ahead of time.

			Thadston upheld his end of the agreement, and said that if Juramis is able to be apprehended, he would be tried by Wehnimer's Landing law.

			Thadston also said he would be around this evening to discuss what was found last night, and to discuss further steps from here.

			A few nights ago, leaders and members of the Landing Militia, Silver Gryphons and Azure Sun were systematically assassinated in various locations in and around Wehnimer's Landing. It is suspected the attackers were members of the Brotherhood of Rooks, and in retaliation for their continued raids into their underground hideouts. Following the murders, a host of thugs, bandits and even hired mercenaries and mages attacked the gates of Wehnimer's Landing, held at bay by the valiant efforts of the town's heroes.

			Meanwhile, Sir Aydan, Mynon and Magister Raelee were standing guard outside of Alendrial's cell in the dungeons of the Hendoran Outpost, this coming after news of intruders sneaking into the outpost in an attempt to free the prisoner just a night before. By some accounts, three Hendoran soldiers had sought to relieve the others of their duty in watching Alendrial. When Aydan, Mynon and Raelee refused to budge, the soldiers left, and one of them then returned to pour out a barrel of oil in the dungeons and threw a match, igniting the area on fire as he escaped out of the dungeon, him and his two fellow soldiers closing and locking the door to entrap the others down below, including Alendrial in her cell.

			Smoke was spotted from those defending the town gates and soon many adventurers converged on the Outpost, where the Hendorans allowed them inside. Standing guard over the dungeon entrance was three knights who refused to budge, even as smoke trailed out from the door behind them. Alasatia put two of the knights to sleep, when the third finally budged, unlocked the door and ran off. The adventurers arrived into the dungeon just in time to put out the fires, heal the wounded, and keep Alendrial from burning alive in her cell.

			Moments later Sir Thadston appeared in the dungeons, seemingly from a secret entrance, and appeared rather drowsy and awkward in his movements. Two knights accompanied him, and Sir Thadston ordered them to take Alendrial from her cell and escort her to an unknown location. Thadston went on to thank those in attendance for their bravery, but then nearly collapsed, his body covered in sweat. His two loyal knights had returned by then, announcing Alendrial was safe and secure, and upon seeing their commander in poor health, escorted him to his chambers to rest.

			Since the events, Sir Thadston has not been publicly seen, but has issued a statement that he will be appearing tomorrow night with an announcement, and that justice will be served.

			Since there hadn't been any mention here, I'll briefly mention a few things that've happened in the last few days.

			Over the weekend, Thadston released Alendrial from his custody under the escort of his more trusted knights. She was being sent to her ancestral home in Chastonia, with the rather heavily-implied threat of death if she ever returned to the Wehnimer's region. Some of us who had been involved on the opposing sides of the plot two weeks ago to free her from captivity were on hand as she was brought from her cell. While perhaps a little worse for wear given the conditions of the cell and the arson and murder attempt, no jaywalking occurred upon her release. Those on hand with the knowledge and skill inspected her to ensure she was in good health before she was sent on her way. That she was made to pass by the corpses of the men who tried to kill her was purely coincidental. Really.

			After this, Thadston announced to the town that despite the fact that the Rooks weren't defeated and probably woukdn't be, he felt that by revealing the the evidence against Juramis and the damage dealt by the recent raids, he was satisfied by the outcome and would uphold his end of the agreement to release the letters recommending trade with tye nearby Imperial provinces.

			Last night Thadston announced what had happened over the weekend regarding Alendrial, having waited until then to announce it in order to give a few days head start in case the Rooks may have made an attempt to intervene.

			Other than that, there were some nasty invasions last week, at least one being suspected of being sent by Raznel. I don't have much to comment on that, at any rate.
