I will be writing an article for the Ashbury Times regarding the recent battle with slimes in Fairedale. If you contributed to separating Cyril Thornbranch from the monster known as Goglon please reply here or message me privately. If you tell me your name and how you contributed (and please pass on credit to adventurers who helped you achieve what you did) I will try to work your name and your deeds into my story.

May all your teeth be gold,
Moon Silvertongue
 
Hey Moon Silvertongue,

You are stupid. Brok did not solve the riddle of the Sphinx. I, Tugrot, solved it before barely two lines were out of her mouth.

You are about the worst reporter ever. Even a "dumb" high ogre like me could do better. But I don't have time for such nonsense, as I'm busy solving riddles and ridding the lands of filth.

Tugrot
 
Tugrot,
Never fear, my friend, there is a way to prevent such problems in the future! Next time you perform such a feat, write (or dictate to a literate friend) an article about it and send it to us, thus assuring that you are given your due.
I hope to read your work soon,
M. Marmadoc
Reporter, Ashbury Times
 
Why you assume I'm not literate?

I don't care if I'm in dumb paper. I do care that my deeds be given to anothers credit.

Write or don't write. But don't spread lies.

Tugrot
 
Feng know 3 step plan for make better.

frist....
Make paper that says Tugrot am bestest at buyahut side dance, and more masterfuls at makes human funny face. Dat am all truths.

twoes....
also make dat he am good with magic heals in paper. Feng thinks only smarty peoples can make magic. So Tugrot am reader from books.... duah.

and threeed
gives paper then to Tugrot or buddy Brok so they maybe can read to Feng. Feng am kinda dum and needing help with dat.

Feng
 
OK Feng am now looking for Ren bestest wizadd. Maybe me find in fairdale like in storys Father Atom be telling Feng and Moxie from papers.

So Ren you am should be getting paper have story on it for reading. Feng and Moxie find you soon, then maybe read to us ? Make you smart buddy den. :D

Feng
 
It be stone elf story time! Ren can read youse guys the paper and maybe some stories from all those books she got.

Ren, when is good for our tusky visit?

Tugrot
 
Tugrot, you and Brok are perfectly capable of reading the paper. I am certain your reading would be much more... interesting.... than any I could provide.

Ren Suzume
 
But Spidereye doesn't want me and da Brok to read to him. He wants YOU to read to him.

Tugrot
 
I read story, and et appearz zat Moon Zilvertongue only report zat part of story az told to heem by vone zat var zere.

Ketsuji Utsuro Draken
 
Feng am really really wanting for Ren story cause Ren am in crap load of story.

Most peoples that know about fairdale am knowing heroes from there like Ren. Am why we am at fairdale now to see dem peoples and hear them storys from them. So Brok and Tugrot am strong and smart, am not Ren great wazard of fairdale that Feng hear of all da way in dockside.

So please maybe find time for Feng and friends Ren ?
 
Ket is correct. That part of the story was not actually written by me. The story may have been edited by Ashbury Times staff, but originally it did say that the retrieval of the chain was being reported by Trel. I'll subtract a few coppers from his pay to teach him the price of bad reporting.

Having said that, you are a highly valued customer Tugrot and I do aim to keep my customers happy. Stop by my bakery one day and I'll feed you well. No need to bring your coin purse.

May your pillows be stuffed with diamonds,
Moon Silvertongue
 
I hope the poisoner you stabbed the crap out of was not one I counted friend Spidereye... I certainly have no holes in me. you all dream too much... I hope I stop hearing you soon and can make it back north before the cold winds come.

I suppose it is part of my duty to make knowledge available to all. If you insist, I will be in Fairedale on Hallowe'en.
For now, please let me get some sleep.
Ren Suzume
 
No. He would no' be your frien'. He used poison in a bad and hurtful way to those who thou' they could trus' him.

Stay no' full o' holes,
SpiderEye

And I'll sleep whe' I am dead.
 
I am not at fault for the poor editing. I clearly said zat the answerer of the riddle was the High ogre, not Brok. It is in the letter I sent Moon.
 
I may have lost the main point here - Tugrot solved the riddle and deserves to be credited for this clever thinking. I have asked the Ashbury Times editor to correct the error so that those who read the paper in the future get the correct information. I trust that the Ashbury Times editors will make this correction very soon.

Tugrot - I apologize.

Don't fear Trel - I will not deduct any coppers from your payment. I was confused because your story never mentioned Tugrot by name and I didn't actually realize he was a member of this adventuring party.
