Beloved citizens!

Doubtlessly you have noticed the increased chosen raids against our people, against our women and children, against the elderly, against the honest Watchman standing his post dutifully and against the working woman standing by his side whilst running her tender hands along him and through his hair.

The death toll begins to mount with our spread numbers, and some are beginning to loose faith in the Watch and the Council to keep us safe. Mayhaps some of us are guilty of this inaction, mayhaps a shadow clouded our eyes... but here I say no more! No more standing by whilst the rats eat us from the outside. The fight shall be taken to the Chosen that dared raise their claws against us, and woe be to all rats that stand in our way!

They shall pay a price of blood far greater than the one charged us, so I swear by all the gods.

Here, I make this call!

This is a call for heroes, for adventurers, for those with a love of chosen treasure, for those wishing to aid the Watch and Spellguard in the defense of our people, and most of all, for those wishing to strike at the verminous creatures that have stolen from us, stolen our friends, lovers, family and fortune!

This is not the act of a Councillor or a politician, nay, but of a man who loves his people. I am not looking for votes here, for political support, here I am looking for adventurers to put right a grave wrong.

We shall strike at them, we shall bring the rats low unto the ground, we shall lower their numbers so much that they will not think to raid us again for some time.

Come, come and seek your fortunes, your fame, your honour, as we bring devastation and death to the evil rats!

The first raid begins a day hence! Muster at the Canal Ward!

//Monday 1 am GMT//

A large group of commoners arrive to hear Cheval speak, and leave generally agreeing that the Chosen should indeed be killed

//The raid starts in half an hour's time

People of Sanctuary!

Today the first blow against the chosen was struck. Over a hundred chosen lie dead, rotting on the hard stone ground.

Lomil the elf, Francis Dederich of the School of War, Karley Sennet the Musician Warrioress, Former Councillor Sparklegem, Lieutenant Lothor of the Watch, Private Von Asch of the Watch, 'Johnny de Blave' and Azianna the "Priestess of Dunwarren", are all owed your thanks, along with nameless others who fell in the destruction of the chosen horde! The Paladin Matthieu Fynolt of Helm died doing his duty, fighting the horde and protecting our people, and he should be remembered as a hero for his efforts. Let his name by remembered and his sacrifice not forgot.

Should you see these people in the street, give them a friendly nod and thank you for the efforts they have made this day!

This is only the beginning of the raids against the insidious chosen. We will persist and cull them until their attacks against our citizens relent!

Thank you!
