The filthy pretender to the throne, Gruem, attacked me in the kitchens after a dispute about some armor. He accused me of selling armor at 15 gold via Malchus, when he claims I quoted him 10 - for a whole set!

He struck first with his hammer and did not relent, until I was unconscious. I defended as best as I could, but had to eventually escape to the Hospital.

I demand an apology!

Gruem is hereby blacklisted for any goods or services from the Chamber of Commerce for this outrage and slander upon my sterling reputation, to which many happy customers can attest!

With no apology or amends, I shall be forced to post a bounty of 100 Gold Pieces for whoever can bring me Gruems' head. This kind of Behavior within Galmair, under the Don's watch, upon a true and loyal citizen will not stand unavenged. I demand justice!

~Bernie Bottoms, Guildmaster Chamber of Commerce

While Greum does not know who this Gruem is, he can't help but admire how close to perfection such a name is!

Greum also feels the need to speak out, as this situation is eerily similar to what he has made no attempts to hide in his papers, about how the halfling Bernie Bottoms tried to cheat him!

He, too, was promised a full set of perfect armour for 10 gold, only for the filthy liar of a halfling to try and hike the price up to 15 gold last second! Both through Malchus, and then once again in person later!

Greum was once told by Dame Nala Thorhild that the liar Bernie wanted to apologize to him and make the deal right, and in good faith even reported of this in his newspaper.

Unfortunately, this never happened and instead earlier this day the halfling made the outrageous demand for 50 gold while saying Greum was the liar!

This halfling and his so called chamber of commerce is a taint on the good name of Galmair and should have his rank and citizenship stripped!

Attached is a scribed copy of a letter the halfling sent to Greum back when, detailing the promised price and quality of product, on which he never delivered.

This 'letter' that Gruem produces is obviously a forgery by his loyal and faithful employee! My signature is forged, for I sign with a script and not blocky, bumbling lettering such as that!!

It was 15 Gold, for perfect armor is hard to come by at those prices! Ask Tialdin, renowned Armorer what the price is for a whole set of Perfect Master Armor. !5 is quite a steal!

Regardless whether this pretender to the Throne of Galmair (which should be a treasonous offense by the way), thinks it was 10 or 15, it is no excuse to attack a citizen, a Patrician no less, while conducting business with another within the Don's own kitchens!

Again, I urge the Don or at least his Left Hand to make an example of this Gruem, who calls himself the Don, and make Galmair safe to do business again!

No Justice, no peace!! I shall await 7 dwarven days for an answer, before taking matters into my own hands.

Thank you!!
~ Bernie Bottoms, loyal subject of the true Don!

*A pinned note appears in the board*

In the name of Malachín, justice shall be served mister Bottoms. The orc knows as Greum is wanted now. Any individual helping him will be too.
