A Visit to the Government Office

*Jonah visits the officialdom at the government building. He politely flags down anyone he can find within, introduces himself, and asks where he might find the current town administrator.*

* The militia captain, currently using the sheriff's office in the town hall would approach Jonah and inform him that administrator Klix is very busy and will probably require an appointment*

*Jonah thanks the Captain, and heads out*

((Thanks for the heads-up, FFS))

*Jonah returns some time later with a letter in hand. It is unsealed. If no one is around to recieve it, he leaves it on the long council table. The letter itself is written in a blocky, unpracticed hand. Though rough-looking, it is clear that a great deal of effort has gone into making it legible.*

"To the August Leaders of Shadowdale;

This town has seen more than its share of trials and hardships. It seems that each time the fields grow back, they are burned again too soon. Once again, such a trial is looming overhead, and once again too soon.

It has come to my attention that some of the remarkable people of this community have decided, for better or worse, that they are tired of running, and will stay with their homes rather than be evacuated. The wisdom of their decision is beyond dispute; they have made their choices. But they do not need to die by them, I feel.

I would request to the administrators, and to the Council of Elders, that we organize an plan to pull together should the worse come to pass. This is not an evacuation plan, but rather a means to fall back beyond defenses in the active defense of the town. Further, I would offer the Hospital as a place to fall back to. It has held through dire times in the past.

I am no adventurer. I did not come to this town as a means to fame or fortune or glory. I am only a Brother of the Ilmateri. My highest priority is to the protection of the people from pain and suffering. I humbly offer the Council of Elders my services in this regard. I can be found at the hospital, should anyone need to speak with me further.

May Ilmater watch over this town in the days and weeks to come.
