With a chuckle and a quill, Xerake writes quickly, a message...

Just last night, Hermie fell into the bushes near the shop of Trollsbane...he was foaming at the mouth, and seemed disturbed. An elf and I attempted to clean him up and awaken, him...we completed those tasks, but didn't get a favorable result...

He awakened, thinking the elf and I were both pirates. I merely thought he was humoring me, so I said such phrases as 'Argh matey,' and 'I'll walk ye off the plank with this here blade!' Unfortunately, he responded in a rather defensive way, holding up his sword trying to wade us off. He was clearly disturbed, so I hit him with my weapon. He was bleeding a bit, but he was still convinced we were pirates...the wounded elf and I hit him unconcious, cleaned him up once more, and I gave him a wind potion with a few healing ones to clear his mind. I was glad he was weaker than his normal self, or we would've been slain...

This time, he suffered from a minor amnesia, but regained his memory slowly as it worked. We tended to his wounds, and left afterwards describing what happened...

I request that members of Trollsbane take caution, and simply don't kill this hobbit because he acts funny; it may be that odd mindset he's trapped into...

Viola Thistle reads the post and scratches her head.

This sort of thing seems to be going around. Very strange indeed.

Clumsily, a green, labor gnarled hand, takes a parchment and piece of coal from a napsack and begins to scribble

Me see most of what happen. Hermie very strange indeed. Me no see any swordplay though, just a pair of scissors, which, methinks, was odd. Gigasha thinks that Hermie's condition may be due to a outside influence.

Hermie been influenced by bad Hobbits. Me see him carouse with Nilos, Bumbol, and Crosis. Methinks habitants of Troll's Bane not appreciate results. Gigasha watches Hobbit Bumbol, who seems to be leader of band of bully Hobbits.

It clear from these Hobbit's actions they are falling into Bone Lords' trance. Just like Hermie did.

Bone God comes to bring war.

Hermie lies in bed recouperating from the ordeal. His arm in a sling and his head in bandages.

((I didnt want to post entirely ooc: But IC I was using a sword, but on the interface I used scissors and a fish to simulate his weakness. So there were no scissors. Sorry for confusing some people.))

I witnessed that too, and he seemed really out of it. I mean, he was using a sword, but he hit as weak as if he were using a fish and a pair of scissors! It was most peculiar... (( ))
