Letter Writing Day

Dear Lucky Explorer,

As a self proclaimed skilled explorer why do you think its okay to bring back map fragments or repetitive adventures such as Witch Of The Swamp, The Seige, The Nords, and Sons Of The Veld to name a few? Since your name is Lucky one would think that you would bring back more scenario adventures such as The Grain Conflict and Twins to name a couple. If you're persistent in bringing back what is not needed then I'll have no choice but to teach you a lesson. Thank you for your understanding!

Sir or Madam Nord,
I have written a limerick just for you.

There once was a group of Nords,
Who came with all of their hoards.
I fought Thrall, Valkyrie, and Karl,
Jomviking, Berserks, and Housecarl
I won and took home the rewards!

Laughing all the way to the storehouse.
Till we meet again,
Ed the Eldar

Dearest Witch
In your Swamp
You stole from me
So I shall Stomp
a path to your door
and bite you hard
you dirty ... witch

toothily yours,
Bob a Simple Bulldog

Victor you are vicious
and the land you inhabit,
contentious.
I shall send my MMA
who will dig you a shallow grave
remember the hug i once gave?
it was a sizing for his blade.
He will block and he will survive
and in the end the bacon
will be mine.

Chuck is in the nest
And Bert's one eye is best
and attacking from the south
is old metal mouth.
But bob a bulldog is not afraid
he shall spoil this nest you made
and when the victory fog is clear
the price you pay will be quite dear.

One of the rider clans
terrorizing the veld again?
to this battle
bob will come
and chase the villians
make them run
and when the mighty chase is thru?
Bob will be standing over you.

Sons of the Veld?
Who knew they could write?
But their missive to Bob
is an invite to a fight!
Bob will bring Generals
Tavern and Specialty
And they will correct the sons' spelling
Leaving the grammar check with me.
Bob will teach a lesson to the sons of the veld
and gladly smile when the sons
are rotting in bob's jail

Dear King Damien
The skull is not LOST.
It is buried.
And Bob has forgotten where it was when troll-phu cooked bacon
So it is really really troll-phu's fault
love
bob

Dear Wolf,

You want to be the bane of our existence to which I say 'NEVER'. *shakes her fist at the sky in defiance!

Your sneaky habit of lurking in the forest shadows ready to pounce on our fierce generals will not be effective. We will find you... we will only use sleeping darts since we respect and love the wolf... we will slip past you quietly while you are sleeping, and leave you in the dust!

So please turn your voracious appetite toward all those deer and wild boar and reindeer that walk the forests. They are much more delicious than humans anyway, or so I've heard.

May you live long and not attack us!

Your friends just passing through, meaning you no harm...
FlyingCloud et alia

p.s. aaaaahoooooooooooo!

ATTN: Explorers

It has come to my attention that the longer time required for your explore and return is not just due to the fact that you are not as skilled as Lucky or Savage. I have found that you are partying with the locals where you are searching for treasures. You have been giving some of the treasure you find to the pretty girls, soccer balls to the young boys and cooking ingredients to the women. You then, are having picnics consuming pumpkin soup and egg salad sandwiches and enjoying soccer tournaments. Upon your return, I receive less treasures, pumpkins, eggs and soccer balls. This is not approved behavior and may necessitate your removal to be trained in the barracks where you will consume vast amounts of brew and then become available to be sent on new adventure to new lands in my vast armies.

Shape up, or ship out!
Your Mayor

My favorite generals,

The notorious Nords have build camps on an island nearby us. They are probably planning to attack us. Little do they realize that their landings did not go unnoticed. Please gather the necessary troops and be ready for an all-out invasion and we will destroy them. Quartermaster Claus be ready to take additional troops at a moments notice, your speed is necessary at times. Lord Dracul you may go as well. I know you have been complaining that your blood bank is getting low. Get transports ready now. Taven generals you will be doing some blocking so be prepared.

This time, they will be the recipient of a surprise attack.

Your Commander-in-Chief
Ed the Eldar

Marshalls:

Good news. As Mayor-in-Chief, my advisers and I have determined that your services will someday be needed again! It appears ambitious adventurers will soon reach the Pathfinder vessel, requiring periodic forays into the expedition lands only you are able to conquer.

Analysis of current efforts suggests the Major Generals will break through the Barrier Reefs of XP sometime around April of 2017. If you will be prepared to promptly return from your exile to the lands of Star, we will be expecting you.

Regards,

KingHomer
Mayor-in-Chief
The Tiny Island Nation of Homerica

Dear Wild Mary

I now understand where all your anger and madness comes from. People laughed behind your back and made up stories about you when you were young because you derelict father named you "Mary". Your state of mind was not improved when your mother told you to be proud the your father named you "Mary". Anger has driven you to your current state of mind. I regret that I have to take my home island away from you, but I need it to remove threats in my friends and my own life. I will forever mourn the fact that we might have been friends and allies if you had been named George, Allen, Mark or Fred.

Your Unfortunate Enemy
Sherman_Grant

P.S. I will raise monuments in your memory if I can ever afford them....

Dear General, Major General, General of the Army Sir,

There have been some concerns among the lower ranks about certain behaviors and attitudes that you have presented in the past that need to be addressed.

It has been noticed general sir that you seem to think you are entitled to certain privileges due to the fact that you command the largest army in the empire. Case in point, the extra ration of brew that you request for your headquarters.

While it may be true that you kill more enemy camps than the other generals, perhaps you have forgotten the contribution that the other generals make to your victories.

Each of our generals make a contribution that you seem to have forgotten. And while some of our generals are not really pleasant to be around such as Grim Reaper, he does make it possible for you to stay in the field longer as he supervises bring new recruits from to the battle field.

I realize that when you were fresh out of the Tavern that you were required to win the battles you fought. But times have changed. No longer do we require our least experienced generals to win battles. We now are more concerned with saving the lives of our troops and our tavern generals play a most important role in this regard. The diversions that they provide while you march to kill the leader camp saves the lives of hundreds of our troops. I am sure you are aware of this and have merely forgotten to consider this when ordering supplies.

Our Master of Martial Arts and to a lesser extent Dracul are always willing to go first and make personal sacrifices to soften up and enemy camp before you go in with the main body of the army to provide the final blow. Without their sacrifices, many more troops would be lost and I dare say, you would not be able to kill the enemy leaders with only one attack at all. It would take you multiple attacks and more time in the battlefield.

So while we appreciate all that you do to lead our armies, we expect that you will accept the same brew ration as the other generals. Now if you would like to increase the ration for all the generals we will do what we can to produce more brew to make this happen.

As to your request that we make a better brew, I am pleased to inform you that we have been able to build a new Friary and we believe it will not only make a better tasting brew but will also be able to produce more brew and we will be able to increase the amount of brew for all.


With Respect, General Log.

Mr. Mayor,

Your sponsorship of our team is greatly appreciated but your emphasis on strength training at the expense of endurance will make it very difficult for us to dominate next season's tournament. I believe I have come up with an imaginative solution:

Your archers need to train to ensure the safety of our fellow islanders so... I would like to volunteer my athletes to run out to the targets and bring back the arrows. These "Speed Training" sessions could even double the number of bows of all types built by allowing all bows to be field tested.

P.S. Happy Birthday
