Private Sunellar,
first off I am not the Thane, merely an elder of the clan. I suggest you read carefully my signature and also perhaps aquaint yourself with the current Thane, Kasin Moonsbane.
Secondly, I made those posters to jolt the jaded public off their ignorant arses in the hope that it -might- actually do some good in that someone who may Have ventured below may think twice before doing so. Haven't you ever heard of the expression, "speak softly but carry a big stick"? In otherwords, a threat can be quite a deterant.
I suggest that you consult with Private Shattershale as to the culprit who went down to Barak-Tor and annoyed the inhabitants down there. I merely came upon the aftermath of yet -another- occurance of such blantant disregard of public safety warnings. The fellow who sells bags and Pvt. Shattershale had obviously dealt with the invading creature however, it's mates where still lurking below near the stairs. This is what I painfully had to fight off once I went downstairs to walk to my HOME!
I would remind you Private Sunellar, that Clan Stoutheart is a lawabiding and RENT paying group of honest dwarves. It is through our efforts that we keep the hordes of undead eyes and flying chosen from surging up from beneath and generally ravaging women and children here in upper in an ORGY of mindless slaughter. Also, our rent contributes towards the funding of the watch.
Indeed our lease is under the purview of the watch. How about the watch do their part by stopping fools from entering a known danger zone and endangering innocent civilians? Obligations are a two way street remember?
You must understand how frustrating it is to find that once again, warning signs have been ignored and it is up to the clan to deal with the mess. Also, would you suggest then that I use harsh language on those who would deliberately endanger innocent life rather than a thump on the knees? If so then I will comply however the next person that dies due to some fool going down to Barak-Tor and drags back one of the more colourful denizens to Upper, then I would hope that you will personally inform the relatives of the deceased that harsh words were said to the one responsible for their loved ones death. Fingers were waved in their face and they were told that they were very naughty and not to do it again. I do trust that you could manage that? I think it will of great comfort to the bereived to know that this has been done.
Finally, I'd like to point out that we will be soon seeking to mount an expedition to the lower levels to finally crush, once and for all, the threat of the chosen, with the help of the spellguard. Maybe if you value public safety, you could possibly join us in this venture?
That is if you are not too busy and have nothing better to do? After all, I wouldn't want to distract you from issuing warnings to the naughty people.
