Dear Gazette,

I saw Officer Cadet Melior take performance enhancing drugs before her big (and failed!) trophy hunt.

Is there no depths she will not sink to to defeat that handsome Commander?

Yours sincerely,
Anonymous

Initiate Danaeyl,

I would like to make this journey with you.

[Garshinkle]

Last night, recruit Garshinkle expressed his concern to me that the number of undead attacls on Covian soil was rising.

In particular, he was concerned that he was specifically being targeted.

We lead a quick patrol to the graveyard to smash the undead, where they vindicated him in his concern when a robed deadite lunged out of the shadows and went straight for him as we were leaving.

In attendance:
Garshinkle, Guardsman Recruit
Earl Elgrim, Guardsman Recruit
Saerandir, Watchman
Avalynn Vale, Junior Grenadier
Mischief, Tagalong

A guardsman duty is awarded to Garshinkle and Earl.

If anyone got a painting, please attach it below.

Where: The barracks
When: 8PM GMT, Thursday 19th
What: The second in my string of trophy hunts! Bring plenty of bandages!

Excellent work, Cadet Melior!

Hoagie paced around in his room, rummaging through piles of junk.

"Where in the abyss is that turtle soup reciple?!"

He opens an old drawer.

"Heeell-oooo, what's this?"

The Grenadiers have glamour,
The Folk in Green have grace,
But if you step to the main block
we'll smash you in the face.

We need no sparkly magic,
nor sneak-thief dead of night,
because up against the main block
you're guaranteed a fight.

Green and bronze and fancy frills
we do not need to wear.
We've black and steel and tan and shields,
and a Commander with no hair.

So do not be so quick to leave
your main block friends behind.
A squad may bring you new brothers
but for now, you're one of mine.

I hope you're not leaving the main block, Kobra?!

Great report, recruit! And great fighting out there.

Here are my own sketches of the evening:

[Grudges Against You]

Grudges Against You

Vesper	See me in person.
Cove	Get a tattoo of the Covian crest with the words "Property of The Baron" somewhere on your person.
Jassi, Kelly, Eben	Track down these guardsmen, apologise, and ask what you can do to make things right. Do these things without complaint.

Grudges You Hold

Ayseh	See me in person.
The whole of Vesper	See me in person.
The bandit population	Lead an expedition with at least three other guardsmen to the bandit outpost of your choosing and slay as many as it takes for your thirst for vengeance to be temporarily sated.

[Task One: The Squashing of the Beefs]

You are ridiculous, guardsman. Your hair is wild. Your eyes are wild. Elf? Human? Who even knows any more. You fight. You argue. Far too many people have seen you shirtless. We will whip you into shape. I will whip you into shape. Being my apprentice is an honoured role, and I expect you not to waste it. Don't waste my time, and I won't waste yours. Follow my words closely, and you shall reach Junior Guardsman with a renewed reputation.

Task One: The Squashing of the Beefs

Everyone has enemies. Everyone worth talking to, anyway. For the first step of your first talk, I need you to think deep and draw up a list of any and every grudge or slight levelled against you. Any ill will that people still hold for you, and any ill will that you hold for others. Together, we shall settle these scores as appropriate, whether it is by you apologising and doing whatever it takes to right that wrong, or by us crushing your foe.

Post your list of beefs and their reasons below and we will... deal with them.

I accept.

Grand work, cadet!

Your financial sacrifice will not go unnoticed.

[Oats Dead Pool]

Bonus: I am currently on Oats III. I expect to lose a lot of Oatses by the time I complete this list. Guess what Oats I will be on by the time I finish this list. Closest guess wins a large sum of gold.

Oats Dead Pool

Tingleith: X
Aries: XXVII
Ilyana: XLVII
Serj: XXV

As part one of my Trophy World Tour, we will be going to get the golden claw of the serpentine swooper.

When: 8pm
Where: Gather at the barracks
Bring: Battle gear & lots of bandages
