Aye, armor will protect thee from the slings and arrows of men. But they still smart, I assure thee.

Too many sleeping potion overdoses these days. Not enough Prince Charmings to undo the Faerun fold.

The greatest lie every told be "it is every man for himself". Nay, ser. A man by himself in the woods is a deadman. A village endures together.

Back in my day, fighters stood next to their opponent and swung until someone (they or it) went down. I know not of "misty step" or "leap", or whatever madness "flanking" be.

There be a few mages who stand near the wall and watch which ships come down the river with great excitement. I envy their passion

Unrelated: Are you a rogue without any parents? Do you have skills in assassination? The king is currently seeking applicants in a new venture.

Announcement: The king has declared Ghakgore Limbripper as the rightful winner and besieger of our city. As such, he has offered (1) mulligan to allow Limbripper to return in one year's time after restoring his strength and resume his rightful siege of our very wealthy and barely defended town.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The king, in his majesty, has decided Terror-Lord Amrik the Befouled as the rightful and true besieger of our glorious city, and not the pretender Grakgore Limbripper. Only once the pretender is cast away shall we enjoy a honorable siege of our most wealthy city.

Siege update: a second army hath come to siege the city. All parties involved appear quite surprised and confused on how to proceed forward.

Just watch. Something silly is going to happen and the siege will be over in a week.

worst part about a siege (other than the obvious) is that since no one comes or goes from the gate, I have to spend my entire shift staring at naught.

And these loathsome wretches won't stop lobbing shot into our very nice walls. Only months to go. Or weeks. Or a day. Who knows.

Worst part of a siege is that I know one of two things art going to happen: - a wizard will be returning from vacation, be blocked, and cast powerword: dysentery on the sieging army. - Lord Fuckwad will sit his happy ass on the hill with a relief force until the King agrees to give him a new title.

We've ruled out hill giants. Leading theory is now "very large magic missile".

Large section of the wall found smashed this morning. Giant metal rock believed to be the culprit. The Watch is investigating.

Some army of deserters and bandits hath made camp outside the wall. And, get this, they're pointing a large wheeled cooking pot at the wall. What art they going to do, pour soup into the moat?

Much of the nobility embraced vampirism. Their whole "invitation thing" is why guardsmen welcome thee to the city before crossing the threshold. Apparently implied invitation works for them.

The nice part of a background story is that they art a beginning, not thy end.

I must admit, I've had one of the new watchmen say "yes, my master" instead of "aye" as a punishment for sleeping on duty and... I get it. I get why vampires have thralls now. It's the phrase. Really giveth me a smile when I hear it.

If thou opened a magic portal in front the Western gate, please close it. A lot of creatures art wandering out and causing problems.

Mine entire life, mine tax was levied to fight wars in distant lands I've no claim nor connection to, for aims I have no choice in. What if, perchance, the coin collected by our fair city was used to improve our city?

Contrary to popular belief, Bard's College doesn't teach music. The name of the founder was Bard.

Belay this; it was a spirit of some sort. One of the watchmen imbibed it, and revealed it was a "potion of intoxication".

Town Guard @townguard.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
Alrighty alchemists, riddle me this. A clear potion, smells faintly of herbs. Isn't water not tea. Evil wizard who had it won't say what it be. Any guesses?
