The fist would clarify, straightly so, that 2 are only wanted for questioning, and no bounty is offered to kill them, which would be a crime.

Marietta is to be captured and alive for potential trial.

The short man walked up to the Town’s Board. He moved up to it and found an empty spot and grumbled as he then spat on the cobble stones. Bubba McSteele, was fond of chewing tobacco leaves. But chewing them made his spit black and thick looking real unsightly. A big lump on his cheek as he chewed the leaves. He dug into a scroll pouch and retrieved one of many wanted fliers.

This one called for information that leads to the arrest of Amnish Fugitives the false Druid of Eldrath Ilonna of Greenest and her accomplice the disgraced deserter Knight Aiden Vega of Comyr. The McSteele brothers famed Amnish bounty hunters where all over the Gate Seeking information that would lead to the Lawful Arrest and Extradition of those two fugitives.

For the three elves known as Jordan, Sytheryn, and their companion Kethelis who threw many old tomatoes about within the White Mask Theater, by order of the Flaming Fist, they are bound to perform twelve-hours of community service, more specifically, cleaning up the streets within the Palace District, several hours of which must be dedicated to cleaning the theater and its property.

For the one known as Marietta, they are hereby banished from the walls of Baldurs Gate until such time as they pay the fine of fifteen bags of gold, to be collected by any Flaming Fist officer. They are to be banned from using any magical means for any reason with the exception of defending the lands against enemies of the Dukes within the walls of Baldurs Gate, or the surrounding farmlands for the entirety of their lives if they wish to still traverse these lands under threat of permanent banishment or imprisonment.

By decree of the Flaming Fist.
Marietta and Bob sought entry to the Flaming Fist Castle, where a sum of fifteen thousand coins was offered as payment to clear her name

Poor fisher from Ulgoth's Beard has arrived at noon to Baldur's Gate to help the needy. He couldn't afford for great donate, so brought dozen fishes he caught yesterday and offered them to Teris, along with few coins. Then, the old man went back to home.

It is said House Vale hosted an event where the poor were invited to enjoy a meal, free blankets and clothes, and take any remaining food with them in covered baskets.

Image

It started off slow at first, but eventually people from around the city managed to find their way to the estate.

After a while, additional people began to arrive to give donations to the poor, including a collection of fresh fish and lots of gold.

Image

Some advice was offered to the inexperienced host, and rumor has it that the poor will be fed again some time in the future, but in a more accessible location and with longer notice ahead of time. It is also said that one hundred percent of the donations shall be used to help the less fortunate after discussion is had on where it is most needed.

In a few places around the Wide in Baldur's Gate there are a few scrolls detailing the loss of certain magical ring that belongs to someone names Florena, and a monetary reward for whoever finds it or has a clue about where it could be.

DaloLorn wrote: Sun Sep 12, 2021 1:07 pm A badly bloodied redheaded tiefling in tattered clothes staggered into the Friendly Arm, pale and struggling to breathe. From the amount of blood on her, and the places it was concentrated around, she had been impaled repeatedly through the abdomen, before being finished off with a strike through the heart.
An odd scene took place late last night in the Eastern Farmlands: A young tiefling woman complained by the campfire that she was dying before coughing up blood. A cleric was present, and made several painful attempts at healing and otherwise protecting her against whatever ailment she was fighting... but to no avail. Shortly after outlining her theory that she was being murdered by a demonic halfling warlock and her allies, she experienced another particularly severe episode, drowning in her own blood as the others watched helplessly.

After she expired, she and her clothes returned to their natural forms: Multiple fresh wounds appeared on her abdomen and chest, and a tail grew out through a hole in the tattered rags that seemed to constitute her original attire. Word might eventually spread that a tiefling with those exact same injuries and clothes had stumbled into the Friendly Arm Inn a few days ago, and has repeatedly levied a number of severe accusations against the group she claimed were responsible for her death... one of whom had even publicly confessed to killing her earlier, and threatened to do so again whenever she was no longer protected by Baldurian law.

The cleric eventually raised her, though she passed out from exhaustion shortly after her resurrection and was left to rest in a tent placed by the campfire while her wounds closed themselves. Some time later, she reawakened and headed into the Blade and Stars inn.

A delegation from House Divine, dressed in their finest regalia, attended a Charity Masquerade Gala hosted by Lord Tristen Highmoor at the Ducal Palace. Amidst the high-brow banter, the endless consumption of wine and hour de vours, and the societal preening such gatherings induce, a scandal was birthed. One of the high nobles in attendance found that her prized amulet had been brazenly stolen off her neck from an unknown and unseen assailant. Gasp filled the room as many patrons clutched their pearls (both metaphorically and literally) in shock and awe upon hearing of what had taken place.
Image

Under the direction of their Matron the delegation from House Divine offered their assistance in tracking the assailant. They quickly alerted the Fist guards to ensure Palace had been properly quarantined to ensure no one had or was permitted to exit pending an investigation into the incident. A search of the Palace by the House Divine delegation uncovered a dastardly plot to plant a forged property deed in place of an existing deed for property owned by a minor noble. The delegation managed to corner the plotters after they were caught in the act of planting the forged deed in the records office and secured the apprehension of the assailants on behalf of the Palace guard who promptly carted them away in shackles. It was posited that the theft of the amulet was intended as a distraction to draw the palace guard’s attention away from the real conspiracy.

In the end Lord Highmoor expressed his gratitude to everyone who assisted in exposing and circumventing the plot and bestowed financial awards to those involved.

*Posters are put up around Baldur's gate.*
I work for House Vale and I'm looking for people who know construction things and how to cook.

We were given donations recently and want to use them to create a public soup kitchen with rooms and staff it so people in need have this as an option for where to go for food and shelter.

I know the temple of Ilmater already helps with that, but this should make it easier to help even more people than the temple can handle and even be a nice place to work if anyone needs to.

I'm hoping to find plenty of people to help me figure out how to get this done and to keep it running.

Please send a letter to Teris Ynarno at the Vale House in the palace district or the Anchor in Ulgoth's.
((Please send me a message either through the House Vale group or to this account. :D I'm hoping to get a few people interested in roleplaying helping to set up a soup kitchen in the east gate district and with some interest in the roleplay ask a DM to give us a short event officially establishing this thing exists somewhere icly and to take the donations from my character's inventory. I'm not used to trying to set something like this up, so I'm just trying to make it fun and something that more people than just me can do.))
