A heated debate in Town hall followed by a duel of honor

A sheet of parchment nailed up next to Town Hall, with several more sheets underneath for comments.

Your town is digging it's own grave, it is stagnant, you focus so much on what makes you different, you ignore what makes you the same, you are all sons and daughters of ex-slaves, or you were once one yourself! Embrace it!

You fight over your differences foolishly, and you ignore the looming threat that is coming for you! You are all insane! Human madness! All of your human councilors have been so short sighted, so blind, for they have not lived, or seen enough for understanding.

A bold armored human, with a magnificent beard, and a huge axe strung across his back easily, approaches the podium.

"You speak of human councilor short sightedness?" the human man was heard saying, amid murmurs of approval from the crowd

The elf speaker continued speaking, ignoring the objections of this bold, and magnificent specimen of human-kind.

See where they have taken you, to the brink of destruction!Humans focus on the present, and ignore what tomorrow will bring; you have a great wall blocking your view, you can not see the great forests and plains as I can.

This is why you must have the other races to lead and guide you, for you have proven yourselves incapable of doing so!

The human male's voice was heard to be breaking out into a loud roaring laugh that filled the Town Hall "This is how the arrogance of the elves will doom us all!"

"We are all children to them, to be looked after like a project."

I am standing for your Council, humans, what I will bring is the largest amount of funding feasible to your militia and guard, attempts at reunification with the other splintered groups that have weakened your town further, preparations for the war that will come and the severed heads of Drow at your town's feet. If you want even a hope of surviving the plague to come, you may as well elect me or others who hold such values. That is all.

After the elections speech concluded, a heated argument broke out between the elf and human, after which a duel was brought to the arena. It was reported to be a close fight, but through determination and definitive human-like spirit, he fought on when any other man's body would have crumpled to the ground. He later collapsed after having defeated the arrogant elf in man to elf combat with loud applause from the spectators.

Make your own conclusions. Do not let the vendetta of one elf plunge all of our fair city into war needlessly.
