Title: Recruitin' in th'enemy territory!
Post by: Smedly Herbwood on December 08, 2005, 10:55:00 am
After weeks o' stayin' up late sewin' t'gether th'biggest banner I e'er did see, I decided this mornin'd be th'perfect time t'set me plan into motion.  I rolled up th'massive piece o' cloth, tied it t'me packhorse an' set off t'wards Yew in th'wee hours o' the mornin' when most folk be asleep.

I arrived a' th'outside walls o' th'Yew Abbey, keepin' me eyes peeled for any o' them Yewish guard folk.  Th'coast were pretty clear, so I pulled out a grapplin' hook an' tossed it up t'wards th'roof o' th'Abbey.  After a couple o' tries I got th'bugger t'catch.

Hobbits ain't th'greatest o' climbers, bu' me packhorse gave me a helpin' hand by nuzzlin' me up th'wall a bit an' I managed to scramble meself up th'rest o' th'way without fallin' once!  I made a bit o' a racket kickin' me way up th'wall so I quickly winched up me resources from me packhorse b'fore any o' them monk folk decided t'come outside an' see wha' were goin' on.

It were a righ' nice view from up there on th'Abbey, bu' wi' the sunrisin' I 'ad t'work fast wi' me plan b'fore folk woke up.  I unpacked th'banner an' began rollin' it across th'roof o' th'Abbey.

I flattened out th'edges o' th'banner, lay down some lanterns so it could be seen from miles off an' then placed a backpack full o' recruitment posters all o'er th'floor.  Wi' me work finished I stood back an' admired the view o' th'sun risin' an' chuckled a' the thought o' all them fat Yewish guards tryin' t'climb th'roof when thems saw th'banner in th'mornin'!

I scrambled down th'same way I came up an' headed off t'Britain bank, th'busiest place in all o' Sosaria, t'provide a gate for folk t'come see th'banner an' read about our glorious town.

For Cove!!

Great stuff mate that must have made an impact even if it just pissed off all the Yewsmen. Well done
