New group: Tellmeins

Howdy,

I have talked to a few people about this but I wanted to put quill to parchment so people know that this is a thing that's happening. If these words hurt, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. Feel free to chew me out later.

I will be speaking with the nobles to further refine the idea but this is where it is at now.

As was so graphically and painfully pointed out this moon, there are times when emergencies happen and some citizens require emergency aid, despite the hard work that the nobles of the lands do.

The purpose of this group is to provide emergency services to ALL of the citizens of Travance.

Some examples of these services include(but are not limited to) search & rescue, escort duty, and clean up.

I am looking for volunteers that will be willing to work not only in between feasts, but maybe even during feast. I'm not going to sugar coat this. There won't be much in the areas of fortune or glory. The work will be hard and messy.

But there will be one reward I can promise you.

If you volunteer you will help to change the face of Travance.

Interested parties, let me know.

I am interested.

-Croí

As a merchant I may be able to help with logistics, coordinating shipments of goods and services that are needed in affected areas. If that kind of aid is also needed then I'd like to hear more.

-Valentine

Well, Mr Valentine the first step is interest. If you are in I will find a way for you to pitch in. In your case, the food, medicine, and building supplies we'll have to deliver have to come from somewhere and your contributions will be immensely appreciated.

For anyone else. If you want to help, say so. I don't care what your profession or trade is. We will find a way to get you involved.

Mr. Cooper,
I will assist where I can. However at times my duties as a squire may limit me, I will help.

Bat,

I know we talked sommat about this the other day, but I'm remindin' you that I'm for you and will be lendin' my aid to your efforts.

In the name of the Light and the people,
Brother Bran MacInnes

Bat,
This is a noble and worthy cause. Like Caelvan, I may be limited by responsibilities, but I will aid in any way that I can.

For the edification of the public: How will the mission statement of this group differentiate from that of the Baronial Guard?

Very good point Sir Cypher. I was also wondering how this little group is different in ANY way than our current Baronial Guard. It sounds as though you are trying to replace them.

Your intentions, though noble, seem a little off.

-Roderick Sullivan

Good question. I think the best way to answer it would be to use what smart types call a "thought experiment".

Let's say the Tellmeins were around when Apollo tore through.

The first thing that happens is that Apollo enters Travance. The rank and file guard will attempt to defend the Town but, as happened, were forced to fall back. At that time the job of the Guard will be to engage Apollo and his minions.

Once Apollo leaves, most likely destroying a village or three on the way to whatever hole he dwells in, the Guard will go back to patrolling the proper, mediating disputes among townspeople, and enforcing the laws of the Barony.

This is where our work begins. Remember that there was huge amounts of destruction caused by Apollo. The Guard doesn't rebuild houses, erect temporary shelters, replenish destroyed food stocks, provide for burial and next of kin, help people deal with their grief, and the dozens of other things that, though we try to do, we can do better at. The Guard can't do that. They serve, protect, and enforce the law. They don't rebuild and they don't heal. We do.

Wotcher Mr. Cooper,

If you intend to leverage this "Tellmein" Society to rebuild infrastructure - as would seem to be the case from the manner in which you describe it here - allow me to offer you you my assistance.

In the founding days of a society such as this, I suspect that you may find yourself rich in enthusiasm but deficient in manpower. Depending on the specific objectives you outline for the society, it may be possible to design and build devices to help ease the burden of your work.

I look forward to hearing your plans for the society with great anticipation.

Dear Brother Cooper,

I can't do much, but heal I can, and will.

Bat,
As always, I am willing and available to help.

-Lorelai

Bat

You already know you have me.

Sorre for bad [strike]ry[/strike] [strike]wrig[/strike]writing. New at words.

[strike]Eye[/strike] I train to be healer of land. Wife and I want to help.

We had talked before about this, but as a healer and a stone mason I am willing to help in any way I can. Please let me know what you need.

Lieutenant Cooper,

If you will, I can offer as many of my skills as I can to help your cause. I can provide food for the hungry, and entertainment for the disheartened, and I will follow any direction that you give.

Signed and Sung,
Rowan Uidhir
