Watchman Keres Saves The Day - Or Not?
Our Hero: Watchman Torrak Keres
When: Well past Midnight last eve!
Where: Outside the Church!
"I wer' jus' walkin' along mindin' me own business an' going fer 'ah drink, when I hear som'at funneh behind me. I turned aroun', an' der be the biggest orc yer ever seen wi' 'ah big arse axe in 'is hand. Bein' th'gentlemanleh sort, 'ah told 'im t'shoo 'er 'ah'd kill'im. Then, in keepin' wi' Covian Tradition, 'ah attacked! He nay rilleh 'ad me on th'run, 'ah was tryin' ter tire 'im out whoile 'ah picked at 'im from afar wi' me bow."Whether or not the Watchman's story is accurate is a source of much debate in Covetown this morning, as some witnesses report seeing him flee, screaming, into the forest, with the orc in pursuit. Watchman Keres had the following to say about these accusations;
"Whoevar said tha' beh 'ah stupi' prat."The simple fact, however, is that Watchman Keres returned to the barracks with no more than a handfull of cuts and bruises, claiming that he'd single-handedly driven the Orc from Covianshire, and into Vesperian territory (which he seemed rather amused by).
What this recent sighting means for Cove is unclear. Is it a sign of the first stages of another Orcish Invasion? Is it merely a case of an orc wandering too far from the Fort? Did the Watchman fabricate the entire incident for personal gain? Only time will tell!
