Brumba the Halfling writes in his best handwriting with tears in his eyes, the following words

Dear Citizens of Troll's Bane,
I would like to take the time right now, to thank all of you whom has helped me in the past. I am not a fighter, and normally I don't even wear armour or carry shields, yet I have been protected by the good souls of this fine town. Yet, there is something I must complain about. I'm sorry if I get some of this worded wrong. I'm not used to public speaking, or even writing, but here goes. Today, upon trying to get some zombie insides for a tailor I know, I was aproached by an Ork, who I know only as Ashburg, who had some course words with me. That was fine and dandy because I talked the same way to him, not fearing for my life, because from what I've heard, he is quite a sensable ork. This went on for some time untill I wanted to just be on my way, and get my zombie innards. He blocked the path and pushed me around every time I tried to get into it. This soon got very old, as you might have imagined, and after I mustered up my courage I pushed him back off the bridge. You must think he was suprised, and yes he was, but the one who was most suprised was his Dwarf companion. He got very angry at me for pushing the Ork, tho I was in retaliation, he seemed to think that it's alright for the ork to push me around. He pushed me back, and they both had a field day playing a game that seemed like "Punt the Halfling". I told them to let me be on my merry little way, knowing I couldn't possibly take them both considering I had little armour. Yet after I asked, and also said "please" the dwarf drew his weapon and killed me on the spot. The god's found it right to give me another chance at life. So I ran to the cross where I told the dwarf that I was going to run here, to the wall, and write it all down. But he would not let it end there. He threatened me, with death mind you, and pushed me around more. Then once I made my escape he followed me. Only to kill me again! The god's allowed me a second, second chance and I went to the cross, soon the dwarf ran away. I supposed he was suprised that I was still breathing, tho not without scrape and bruise. I never got his name, altho the ork he was with told me he might have been "Demli" or "Shenruu". I know Shenruu to be a female, but Demli Dogan I have only met on a few occations. I am accusing no one, but I just would like to know how I find out who he is. I got his discription. Tho I hear it is illegal to put that on this wall ((the rule says you can't post more than 3 numbers, or something of the sort)). I want this case taken to Lyrenzia, if at all possible. And I will give my description there. I am not sure how to make a case. And if anyone knows how please find me, I will be hiding behind the library, probably, trying to heal my cuts and broken bones. I said it many times to both of the men, "May the God's watch over you" and I mean it now. Justice will be served, as it always is in Troll's Bane. If anyone witnessed this crime, or has any information, please contact me. Thank you for reading this.

Abused Citizen,
Brumba

Ashburg writes a message the best he can and tacks it to the wall

Me reason for blocking bridge is you say Ashburg dumb. And you mock me. I not like that so I asked you to take it back. You did not so me not move. As you say it got old so me just let you push me. Then dwarf step in and kill. ((trying to push, but turned into an accident he said)) The dwarf block gate more. Me back away and watch. Dwarf killed halfling again when he siad he bring him to court.

Brumba notices someone actually replied to his message, but see that it was the ork, and gets discouraged.

Mr Ork,
I did not call you doubt, I asked you if you had trouble speaking the common tongue, and this is after you called me names. You also pushed me first. And the dwarf had nothing to do with it, neither of us drew weapons, we only used words ,he attacked! ((whether accident or not, he had no business in it, whether pushing me or attacking, he also killed me twice so it's resurect killing, and who mistakes TWICE?!)) If someone has a problem, it should be talked out, people shouldn't attack poor halflings with no armour. You were very reasonable, and I'm sorry about my harsh words, but you did everything I did to me first. Mine was all in defence. If you would be so kind as to tell me his name some time when you see me I would be most happy. And may the God's Bless you Mr Ork.

Respectfully yours,
Brumba

The hooded stranger in the black overcoat silently approaches the wall, and writes a long note swiftly.

I am a witness to what is said. The hobbit is telling complete truth, and the orc is lying. When all of this happened as the hobbit describes, I was exercising my wounded arm with zombies in the ruins. I did not engage until I killed the zombies attacking me. When I killed the undead, who gave me a couple of good hits, I stumbled to the bridge, and tried to pull the fighters apart, but the orc pushed me away with force, and another zombie attacked me on the spot, I had to deal with zombies first, since they kept attacking.
After the orc and the dwarf killed the hobbit, I tried to cross the bridge, and the orc started shouting at me to duel him. I told him the truth, that I do not fight Troll's Bane citizens, but he started running atfer me, and chased me for a while. Fortunately, I am a trained scout in the past, so he had no chance of catching up with me, and I managed to hide in the grass, considering it was already getting dark.

Some time prior to the accident with the hobbit, the same orc met me on the bridge, and called me a fool after he saw my injured side failing to parry a couple of zombie attacks.

All of this makes a person fear the environment, not ever reveal his identity, hide in shadows, stab in the back, fight for survival. If that is what life in the city is about, people will start doing that.
Those who uphold the law in Troll's Bane should deal with these murders, rather then killing people for letting swampflies bite them.

I have a sketch of the Orc's face from my memory ((his ID number)), if anyone wants to be aware of him, send me a letter.
I do not know about Dogan's reputation, but I saw the dwarf's face too.

For those who want to contact me, below is my address signature so that the letter finds me.

Attached below the writing is a classy seal stamp with a complicated symbol, but two initials are possible to make out:

<~{K/K}~>

ANd why should we trust the testamony of a person who is so cowardly he will not state his own name? Considering neither of the sides spoke of you I assume you are lieing, trying to ruin the orcs name because you consider yourself an elitest, you speak very high and mighty and speak of what a utopia is like and yet you live here, in the real world not some fantasy world.
And oh yes, I assume you are 1 of the people who let the vicious swamp mosquitos bite and stab into your skin, I believe all of you want to die for doing that, so i just make it happen that much faster.

Ashburg leaves another message

KK you lie! I not kill anyone! Dont try and blame this on me! It was dwarf who did! I not chase you either, me just went on same path you did to the mummies. You try to make me look bad with your lies. Yes I called you a fool, cause you act like one. Me saw you standing around in a swamp letting flies bite at your skin. You not try to attack them or nothing. You just stand there like a fool. Then me see you other time letting mummies attack you. You not fight them back. That foolish! (cough..powergaming..cough) I asked you to duel. Is something wrong with that? Me not shout either. I see nothing wrong with asking for duel.

Ashburg

Perhaps, you are right.
I accept your rules then.
My apologies to the wrongfully accused orc.
I do not try to sound snobbish, neither am I "Elite". The way I speak is simply the way I speak.
K.

To the writer known as Grant,
Mr K, whoever he may be, does speak some truth. A human was there and he witnessed my death, tho I could not find him afterwards. He did seem to blame it mostly on the ork person. Tho the Ork did have a lot to do with it, he was not violent enough to attack me. This Demli Dogan, who I think to be the dwarf and by all accounts he fits the description, did it. If it IS Demli Dogan. I am not sure, ((he was very confident that it was against the rules to post his number here which I have not done, but many believe to be his, if you know his numer PM me and we'll see if it matches, only if that is not against the rules)), but like I said, he fits the description, and the ork also called him "Demli". I just want justce to prevail in this. I would like to take the dwarf to court! How exactly do I contact Lyrenzia and have this done? And how much will it cost? Whatever I have to do, I'll do, to see that this man does not abuse his strength by killing poor, non-combative, citizens of Troll's Bane ever again. If that is at all Possible. Many more of you have written here than I thought would. I feel very special because of it. Thank you for the....umm... support I guess, in this matter. And if anyone knows how to get something done then please contact me.

Brumba the halfling runs to the wall and quickly write these words to correct his mistake:

Dear mistaken citizens,
What a fool I am. I was wrong in my accusations. The dwarf was NOT Demli Dogan, tho he did introduce himself as such to a person in front of me. I guess this was to ruin someone elses name. But I am too excited I need to calm down. Ok it all went like this: The dwarf, whom killed me, was harassing me today, he run around behind me and yelled at me, calling me "peck" and "puck" and "pack" and "pick". I don't know where this all came from, but I called him a "thesauras" because of his great use of the common tongue. Somehow, he took it as an insult or something, probably thinking a "thesauras" is a dinosaur, and tried to kill me once more. An ork stopped it this time, tho she would not give me her name, she saved me. After all this, an elf asked me what I was doing with "Neizu", not knowing who this was exactly, but thinking back, I remembered, "Neizu is the dwarf that killed me about 3 weeks ago because he was mad after losing a duel". I called him "Mr Neizu" thinking it would scare him to know that I knew his name, and he answered to it. So it was NOT Demli, it was Neizu. So the culprit has been correctly identified and I would like now to see if I can get Lyrenzia's attention. How must I do this I wonder? Help me citizens, you've always been there for me before, now help me take this criminal thru the court system and straight to prison! Thank you also to the elf I will not name here for fear of his life coming into harm. Thank you kind sir, and thank you to the lady ork who seemed very cross at me, but still saved me. Once again, contact me with any information.
