You may find me helping Springdale and Mercinae much, much less from now on. You will

find me Divinely Protected a lot more as well. You may wonder why.

I will tell you why.

Thakrians team and so do Mercineans. Parrians and Springdalians are no doubt any

different. If there is no mutually accepted challenge, you can expect there to be

teaming. That is the way of the land; We keep our enemies on low health and they take

us with them. The very few that have a knack at protecting themselves and only

involving themselves when the time is at their fighting advantage move ahead of the

pack. This, however, is not the reason why I am not involving myself anymore.

No one shows appreciation to me anymore except a few select friends... I am the only

order tasslehoff ne

-one brave enough to remain citiless to defend two cities at one time and use my skills

to help those at the disadvantage, sacrificing myself because of it. No more.

I will not help those that do not wish to help themselves. Mercinae, either you all

learn to fight as a city and play the advantage like your enemies, or you will never,

ever succeed again. Springdale, your Prince has shown a complete disrespect to me

by having Orinoko eject me as a citizen after one day of joining. I must've far

shattered over 2000 of Zenichiro's oilslicks, helped tremendously in your fight for the

Sword of Thorssus, defended countless numbers of your citizens countless times, and

this is the thanks I receive. You may fight your own battles now. Perhaps your city

will one day actually PAY its citizens GOLD for doing GOLD QUESTS! What a novel idea!

Good friggin luck.

Should this post actually strike some weird chord within you and you feel a strange

sense of truth emanating from my lips, perhaps you may join me out here where cities

and material possessions mean nothing, and all that matters is the person fighting

next to you.

I am looking for a few good men and women courageous enough to take this challenge.

Msg me if you are interested.
