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!!
