Zibfred Zoot burst into the Pillagers’ kinhall with a glower. He had a letter from the quickpost in hand that he waved about emphatically as he spoke. “This is outrageous! I am stupefied!” he said to everyone in the hall but no one in particular.
Zib threw his hands up in the air exasperated, “It would seem there is a bit of fine print that goes along with the pie eating contests. It states that if you happen to win the contest and accept the title of Pie Eating Champion, you also accept a commission into the Reserve Bounder’s Corps!” With this proclamation, Zibfred looked around.
“And now, Flowerdumpling expects me to rallie others of the Reserve Bounder’s Corps and perform a bounder’s duty!” Zibfred stated as he started to pace in the main room of the hall. “This letter is from him, reminding me of my obligation as stated in the ‘Title Clause’. Title Clause!”
“Oh just wait, it gets better everyone. I am to remind members of the Quickpost, Shire Brew-masters, and even Pie Runners, that they too signed the ‘Title Clause’ when they accepted their posts.” Zib stopped pacing and looked around while the news sunk in.
Zib took a deep breath to calm down a little. Then he continued, “This letter informs us of an issue in the North Farthing, more specifically Dwaling. They are having problems with some of the Big Folk moving in and forcing out the good hobbit residence. We are to serve them Flowerdumpling’s eviction notice.”
“Now, I have been to Dwaling recently, and I am not going to sugar coat this. It’s a mess. There are barricades and fires in the streets. These ruffians are disturbing the peace, that is for certain.”
Zibfred again surveyed the kin who had gathered to hear what the commotion was about. “Now, here is what I propose we do about it. We shall meet at the Plough and Stars in Brokenborings. Once assembled, we will all put on our RBC uniforms and we shall march up to Dwaling. We will serve these ruffians the evection notice. And hopefully this will take care of our service to the ‘Title Clause’ and the Reserve Bounders Corps.”
OOC –
The event is to complete the quest A Formal Complaint in southern Evendim. However, the twist is that we will all act in character as a bunch of Bounder Reservists. My expectation is to have people show up at The Plough and Stars. We will complain a bit about the duty, maybe have a little liquid courage. Then we will change outfits into either the Bounder’s tunic or Shirriff’s tunic (both available from the outfitter in Michel Delving) and also the Honourary Shirriff’s title. If you have a bounder’s hat, please wear that as well.
We will march north to Dwaling, clearing anything that might disturb the peace as we go. In Dwaling, we will clear ruffians from the town. If we have more people who have A Formal Complaint, we can form a few groups to enter the house for the quest. Also if you are not high enough level to get the quest or you don’t have the Honourary Shirriff title, you can still come along.
