Very Important Message for September 1213(Get Iron Weapons!!)

Fair enough.

However I do not believe we have met so I will be in the Inn at around the same time, let us get to know each other, shall we?

Sure. That would be nice

First, Mister Wisperwood, we are dealing with Faeries, not Fae. A common misconception, but one we should all be aware of.

Second, if you need to find iron, go to the Dragon's Claw inn, there are candlesticks everywhere. I once whacked a redcap upside the head with one to great success.

Third, and this directed at Bat, isn't a call to arms a bit aggressive? Are we not currently in negotiations with the Faeries about among other things, bringing an end to hostilities? I understand everyone should be able to protect themselves, but is it not at least rude, and at most a threat if we are all walking around with weapons designed to banish them back to where they came from? If my understanding is correct we are on thin ice with these Negotiations as is, and I don't want that ice to crack.

Finally, and this is as a fellow subject to all of you: I ask you not to attack any faerie you see on sight if they are not posing an immediate threat to anyone. I have seen redcaps stay their blades in order to negotiate, and given they will most likely be here for said negotiations, we may be able to make this work without the need for more violence.

It is the responsibility of ALL of us to make sure these negotiations go smoothly. This is our chance to prove that we are not just mindless killing machines. This is our chance to be the people that Julie would be proud of. We can do this. We must do this.

Augustus,

First, I am a ranger of Selandrias, not a common fighter. I do not beat my enemies with candlesticks. And second, if Bat Cooper says that we should be ready, then we should consider and heed his words. We do not need to openly attack them at sight, but we must remain vigilant. I can try to rein in fellow townsmembers around me, but I cannot stop them. Don't worry, Julie will be proud of us.

Augustus,

You are correct.

However, I don't believe Bat was saying "Strike all fairies down." I believe he just wishes for everyone to be prepared in case negotiations do not work out and the fairies become hostile. This way we aren't scrambling at the last second to get the proper materials and items created in order to defend ourselves.

I understand what Bat meant, and was simply trying to imagine how the other side might feel.
