Commander Grayner

Whilst busily preparing for the Summer Faire at Memorial Square, an Undead did appear there.  I am unsure if it was the same one that I had encountered before.  I froze again initially, my screams for help were not heard.  It did not attack me, instead it seemed to toy with me.  I did eventually find my feet and I ran for safety at the Town Hall.  I am fraught with anxiety, and I must insist that a guardsman/woman be spared to accompany me at all times, until the Summer Faire is over.  Our towne is not safe!

Covian Guardsmen

Be vigilant. I have just had the most startling experience.  I had been enjoying the splendor of our new memorial square and as I was mounting my horse, to depart, an Undead appeared as if out of nowhere!  It attempted to speak to me!  I was initially imobilised with shock, and could not understand its words.  I do however, believe that I heard the words 'Kill', and that is the point at which I fled.

Joust Rehearsal for the Summer Faire

In attendance:-

Untrusted Watchwoman - Tingleith
Watchman - Saerandir
Regular Grenadier - Marcus Kobra
Senior Guardsman - Tiberius Kane (Kowpowski)
Corporal - Kelly Sanderson
Commoner - Carolin Argon

After receiving word that Tiberius would be happy to aid me, in putting on the jousting show, It was arranged that we would meet in towne.
 
Dalla had painstakingly created and then delivered the plate armor and lances that I required, so that everything was in place for our rehearsal.

I had not expected other guardsmen to be following behind Tiberius as he approached. I recognized them almost immediately. First the familiar face of Marcus, then of Tingleith (who held a sad and pained expression), and then of Saerandir, the guardsman who had led the patrol to acquire some special seeds for me.  They assembled to watch us.

Initially, Tiberius appeared to be skeptical as to the suitability of the horses that I had managed to acquire.  I introduced him to 'Juliet', an unusual mare to be sure, but Tiberius has a way with horses!  It was clear that he had not ridden in a while though.  I was amused as I watched  him ride the horse in the direction of our audience. The audience, naturally, was not so amused.

We rode together along the edge of the bay, towards the barracks and back into towne.  It did not take Tiberius long to settle back into the sadle.  He actually has a fine seat on a horse (that is to say he rides well).

The armor was beautifully crafted, but extremely heavy.  Guardmen/women always wear it well.  I, on the other hand, must not have looked so well in it. "Are you alright?" was the first thing that Tiberius said as I struggled to walk towards him. To make matters worse Saerandir was forced to assist me onto my horse, ungracefully at that, since I could now barely move.

It is one thing to watch a Joust, but quite another to participate in one.  At this point we took our positions. I put on my helm.  I could see nothing, except what was in front of me.  I readied my lance, then I heard Carolin Argon Shout "Go".  I charged!  I took a jab to the shoulder, but remained in the saddle.   I'm sure that Tiberius was taking it easy on me.  On the following run, Tiberius parried my attack.

Alas!  The next thing I remembered was opening my eyes, looking directly up into another pair of eyes, and I had one hell of a headache (*rubs the back of her head in rememberance*).  Tiberius and Marcus assisted me to my feet.

Kelly Sanderson, was to take my place after that!  They were very well matched.  I watched as they jousted, with a thumping headache.  Me and my bright ideas!

Aderyn Keres,

I was of course disappointed that I did not see thee personally, however thy proof of delivery is acceptable to me.  Perhaps you would be so kind as to hold on to the gold, that you intended as a refund, and keep it as payment for my next delivery?

Yukina Kazami,

I was very pleased to make your acquaintance outside of the Barracks the other day, and to hear that you and ye Goblin Staff are able to assist at this years Summer Faire.  You have suggested a fine selection of food and beverages for folks to sample on this special day.  I look forward to sampling them myself!  I will be in contact with thee to finalise the details in due course.  I have put aside a free raffle ticket for you and ye staff.

*Pigeon Sent to Mischief*

My Dear Mischief,

I hope this letter finds thee well.  It is indeed a delight to be back home after such a long absence.

With regard to our mutual friend, Eve, I have not yet received any further news as to her recovery from Dysentery.  As it stands at the moment she remains in the care of the healers in Jhelom, to ill to be moved.  More we will discuss when we next meet.

Regarding the Summer Faire,  I should like thee to take charge of the Archery Game.  Each person who wishes to try their luck will pay 10gp per shot, for their chance to win a bottle of my very fine homemade "Covian Rose". They will need to hit the bullseye in order to win one! I have also put a free raffle ticket aside for thee.

I will no doubt see thee soon.
Axiana

Dalla Darkheart, 

I am delighted to receive word from thee regarding my flyer.  Your offer of help will be gratefully received.  I will be sure to put a free raffle ticket by for thee.  I will contact ye with the decided location in due course, so that ye may set up thy anvil and forge.

If ye happen to know of any guardsmen that might assist me with the jousting, be sure to send them my way.  For what is a Faire without a good Joust?

*a note written on expensive papyrus is found underneath this report*

My Lord Octiovus Von Richter

I was delighted to accept thy invitation along with many, to dine with your charming self at the Town Hall last eve.  The food and beverages were simply exquisite.
  
Ye may recall our brief discussion on a rather dull matter, regarding a list of all the Covian Citizens awaiting Shillings and feeling rather unappreciated for all their efforts.   I see now that thy staff have released the funds to these very citizens, and that making a list is now totally unnecessary.  Ye have done all that the Cove requires.  The Covian citizens can rejoice.

Hail Baron Octiovus!
