A still drunken Thom Knickerson nails a few sheets of paper to the old goblin "Stew!" sign in lower Sanctuary. The top of the paper reads in big bold letters, "Out with the Elves!" He then stands on a bucket and gives a short speech in a loud, slurred, and quavery voice. "Meh friends, many o' ye 'ave shared a beer with meh inna Stew Shop, or kilt somefing wiff me ter take its valuables. Hear meh now! Elves be th' cause of our woes! Why, ifn there weren't any elves there wouldn' be so many damn 'ungry kids runnin' 'round. When's the las' toime ye saw a 'ungry elf? An' th' lizarfolk, were an elf got them all riled up 'gainst us! The duergar an' tha' bidness wi' th' dragon- All an elf plot! Thom licks his lips nervously, eyeing the nearby Watchmen, and hurriedly finishes up his impromptu speech Sign yer names 'ere on this 'ere paper sos we can send it ter th' Council an' 'ave 'em get rid o' all th' elves. Thom hops off the bucket and scurries away, muttering about pretentious, kissy faced, tree dwelling, nancy monkeys.

A mostly sober, thoroughly hung over Thom Knickerson passes by the old goblin "Stew!" sign and to his surprise recognizes his handwriting on the handful of papers nailed to the sign. After some head scratching deliberation he adds the following, directly below the large lettered "Out with the Elves!" declaration.

This is a petition to ban elves from the city. If you would like to see elves banned from the city, please sign your name below.

With a flourish he signs his own name Thomas Clancy Knickerson

"Hot damn, Oi gotta make some fliers!"

*A hin in robe and pot helm scribbles his name down, giggling all the while*

*An arrogant, self-centered elf in dark garb notices the posting as he passes by it, and, after reading it, sports a wicked smile on his face, cracks his knuckles and is heard to say...* Let the fun begin.

Written on it next on the list-

Be quiet, Grand High Mage Thom, and stop bothering everyone with your drunken ramblings.

P.S. Thank you for showing me your selection of rare and valuable scrolls.
