Those Who Would Stand For Good

"I lend my powers against any threat of undeath and unnatural disease, and will do what is within my abilities to aid with all other fights against pain and injustice."

Milo Rolston, Knight of the Lord of the Dead

Imesah adds a small response,

"I am in town for the festival, I will seek you out.

Imesah"

*A small note is tacked up by this one.*

* Hate, only breads more hate, mistrust, only breads more mistrust. Hate, and mistrust only brings forth violence, death, and despair.*

A response is added:

I shall attend.

Elric Lightsmane
Paladin of the Order of the Aster

A note is left tacked to the original post, a silver ribbon bearing the black symbol of a crane rising from a lotus is overlayed upon a strange curling purple design that seems to be composed of two Ls nestled within a barbed crescent, the purple symbol struck through by a bookman's needle.  The new note reads as follows.

Quote :

To all that sympathize.

Is the above view not what the rebels had fought against?  Was it not freedom and safety that we fought for?  For all who share the violent views of the above, recognize that it was here that the Zhentarim began to grow in power.  Realize that in hunting them and creating unrest you sink to their level.  Realize that as you consider your actions and remember those whom gave blood, limb and life for the Shadowdale that exists today.  Consider for a moment, that perhaps to keep one's enemy near allows much to be seen before it happens.  Consider that in taking a higher road, you welcome those who would otherwise become lost to darkness, causing the enemies of peace to continue to grow.

That being said, are you willing to become enemies of the peace that so many fought to regain?

There is no signature.

Another note more is added to the rest:

"Learn to discuss private things using a room at the Inn and not a board on the middle of the street.

- Skuld"

No one has suggested violence. We want to talk about how to achieve our goals. With any luck a unified voice lobbying the Elders of Shadowdale and the other townships in the region will be enough to help them see what has become of this land.

There is no note left in response to all collective notes on this subject, the writer having gathered all related messaged, stacked them up neatly and pinned them all properly back upon the board.  Over the top of it all, is the following sight:  A bookman's needle pierces through a wide silver ribbon, pinning the stack of notes neatly much akin to a book, upon the ribbon once again is the symbol of a crane rising from a lotus flower overlayed upon a strange curling design composed of two Ls nestled within a barbed crescent, the purple symbol struck through with a bookman's needle.  Upon the ribbon is simply written:

The original post is torn down and a notice put up in it's place.

"If you want to gather people, go ahead and do so, but don't go posting open slander of the town leadership, or anyone for that matter.

Cruven"

((posted on the IG board too

*all of the crap with the ribbons and other nonsense gets taken down as to not deter from the attempt by goodly sorts to peacefully assemble. All the garbage, protests and attempts to distract from that assemblage is put in a paper bag and pinned off to the side with a note on it.*

Whoever you are, you are thanked to bring your thoughts to the assemblage and cease trying to prevent and interfere with the gathering of minds. Remember that standing against evil doesn't necessarily have anything to do with hate. In the mean time, stop throwing words from the shadows while the rest of us try to accomplish something.

Bryanna

*a copy of the original post is slapped right back up*

Cruven if you find stated fact to be slander perhaps you should excuse yourself from your duties.

Yet again the post is removed, as are L's posts and Bry's response to them, another note is pinned.

"I already spoke with you in person about this, change the tone of your post or don't post at all."

Cruven then seeks instructs a guard to make sure another identical post doesn't go up, and to fine her if one does.

For reasons I am not allowed to state by the governance of Shadowdale, I still intend for those who wish to see goodliness and honor have a place in the region again to meet at the end of the Tenday.

Bryanna

Bryanna looks straight at the guard, "Glad to know the town's deputies will protect a Banite's presence in your town, but want to split hairs when people speak the truth about it. Is that what you've bled and lost loved ones for?"

She stalks off angrily.

*A tall fiery haired woman in green plate takes down this note and sets it aside on the board by itself, adding text of her own to the bottom*

"Your intentions are pure and noble friend, but ultimately naive. When infection sets in it is better to lance the wound than risk losing the limb. It is for the best that people have their say on the matter now, while they are still capable of seeing reason, than allow ill will to fester and turn to misguided rage."

*On the original posting she adds another note marked with a lion's head atop two crossed spiral horns*

"I will endeavor to attend and hear what you have to say - Aislin"

*The next time Ravossel walks past the billboard, the same thing is reretaked up in the same place as be for.*

*Wandering by the board after a day of slaying undead, Aislin would catch sight of the re-pinned note and shake her head*

"Nay reasonin' with some folks it would seem. Mayhaps the idealistic fool could do somethin' constructive, like attend and voice their concerns. Be a strange day when people this riled are dissuaded by pseudo-philosophical nonsense."

*Shaking her head once again with a small smile of amusement she heads for the inn*

((I am sorry I feel it necessary to break into this thread in an OOC fashion. This is Drunkensolamnic's thread and I would appreciate it if players respected that. If there are to be posters torn down or posters put up over posters, I believe it would be best that I am the one to do so. If there is a player who wishes to interupt this interaction in an IC fashion, please contact me directly via PM, otherwise, please continue IC and respectfully together. I am following.

A few days after the new ribbon is posted, a final message is left:

{{ A note on how to find the above is also scribbled at the bottom as well as a carefully sketched picture of her face framed in feathers. }}

((Just to clarify, we're still a go for meeting at 5PM GMT.))

\\ sounds good, will mostly likely be there with milo

(( confirmed ))

((is this today?))
