I have been charged, among my other duties, to being preparations for this years Talamh Festival. I would like to note that the funding of the festival come largely from the taxes which are levied upon the town by the good Count and as of yet only a handful of individuals have paid or made arrangements to pay their assigned taxes. However that is a topic for another discussion. Festivities will include a personal combat tournament, a bardic competition, a chess tournament, a scavenger hunt, an archery competition, a semi-formal ball, and others to be announced. I am seeking any individuals who wish to donate time, coin, or resources to make this festival successful. Please post hear or message me directly.

Hey T'Char, You might remember me as the fabulous coordinator of last year's festival. If you want any help arranging games or what not don't hesitate to ask. I will do whatever I can, you adorable little elf.

T'Char,
Do you know if the archery contest will be open to any who want to try their hand at it. Or is it only for those actually trained to use such ranged weapons? As of yet, I believe there are only two archers in the town. However, I remember when we first arrived, there was an archery contest then. While I was most likely very lucky, I took first in that contest.
I think with all of the recent events in town, a festival will definately lighten the mood.

If you're having a ball perhaps I could make some kind of dessert or refreshment.

You're a real good goblin Bilge, half breed or not!
Can we drink and dance at the ball? Should I get a new dress? Will I hafta pay for my drinks? Can we drink alot if we want?
I would pitch in some coin but I just bought something nice for my Granny so I don't got much left. And there's still the matter of the stolen sword, I might hafta cough up some coin to get THAT thing back.

All parties who wish to contribute please send me a missive. I will be seeking the services of Bards and others of performance talent for the ball.
Fabion, I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance you could provide.

I am pleased to announce good news! The King has graciously lowered Taxes for this coming moon, in celebration of the Talamh Festival! Individual taxes will be lowered to 2 copper and business taxes to 15%.
I am awaiting missives as to the disposition of taxes owed from the previous moon.

would all these tournaments be run at separate times? a skilled man like myself may want to enter quite a few of these tournaments without confliction.
also I heard rumor of a ball. I would like to have more details on this for instance when will this take place and would someone be offering some sort of dance instruction before hand?
I am quite a clumsy person and I don't believe ive ever danced before..

The festivities did not seem to run very smoothly, I look forward to the new mayor's words on this matter. I did hear that the chess tournament will start over anew due to the interruptions of the undead.

If the prize is still up for grabs, we have two players left standing and we will host the final game in the fall with Copperware vs. Yaznarb
