A finely dressed and well groomed man with what appears to be a collection of recently purchased cigars and fabrics in his arms looks over the notice as he heads through the city. He mutters under his breath to himself as an eyebrow lifts.

"For self proclaimed knights, they sure thrive off strife..."

He shakes his head with a slight chuckle and continues on his way.

An illustration is posted in many places across Baldur's Gate, it is described as follows:
A rather generally drawn humanoid shape is holding a stick and poking it into the backside of what is clearly a bear while the bear looks back at the source of the poking very angrily. Between the bear and the person is a very thin fence. The person is labeled with the words "The Radiant Heart, House Darius & House Vale" while the bear is labeled with the words "The Zhentarim." The fence between the two bears the label "Baldur's Gate Trade Treaty."

Beneath the picture is written the caption "You can only poke a bear in the backside so many times before it turns around and bites your face off."
The street lamps illuminated the cobblestone streets in the East District, snow globes of brightness over the neighborhood. Inside one of these pockets, on the edge of the light, lay a homeless man covered in a patchwork of cloth that could pass for proper clothing in the right light. His head was covered by a rough-spun looking hood and his face shrouded in the lamplight from above. As people gradually went home and they pass the destitute man, they may have spotted a tin cup with a few sad copper bits inside of its battered exterior.

As fewer and fewer people are on the streets, the man sat, face down and hands out in supplication, until there are few to none left. At which point, the unfortunate soul gathered his things, the scattered refuse of the wealthier folk than he (which in all likelihood, included everyone), and counted his few copper bits in a weathered and dirtied hand.

He shuffled off, and paused as he spotted the poster depicting the bear. A course laugh emanated from his darkened countenance, and the lamplight flickered. Both he and the poster were gone.

As the night went on, said posters and their scribbles would gradually vanish from the walls of the Eastern District and Harbor District, leaving nothing but bare wall and most likely a whiff of someone pungent.

Unrelated, a bespeckled man wearing a very fabulous hat and with an impudent air can be seen taking down the posters in the Palace District. If asked, he'd reply with a curt tone and citing various city regulations about solicitors.

Marietta happened upon the notice tacked up in the city and had a good laugh. Tears formed at the corners of her eyes.

"These imbeciles expect me to answer for something that occurred when I was fifteen years old..."

She then unceremoniously ripped down the parchment, crumpled it up, and tossed it into the nearest trash barrel.

For some inexplicable reason a presumably deranged woman, bearing the mark of Auril, would be witnessed walking pass the Radiant Heart Keep ringing a hand held bell and loudly chanting "Shame!". Her chanting would cease has she cleared the Keep and casually continued her journey north along the Tradeway.

Once they registered at the boarder, their escort remained on the other side of the boarder in to Cormyr. After a few days within the Forest Nation, the group was seen returning to the boarder to take back up with the escort and return to the city.

Fear begins to spread among the people of Baldur's Gate as word from both adventurers, travellers, and traders alike speak of horrors roaming the roads around the city. Powerful undead wander about in small units numbering between five to fifteen in size being found in various locations from as far north Boareskyr Bridge, the Fields of the Dead, and Thundar's Ride to the areas surrounding Wyrm's Crossing. Some suggest a search is on while others wonder if more horrors may rise from the Warlock's Crypt, an area recently reporting unusual activity.

An anonymous delivery arrived at the Radiant Heart chapterhouse in the evening. It was a large trampoline that came from a shop in Baldur's Gate.

As The Fleetwood, in service to the Chionthar Charter & Seaward Supply Co., is loaded up with goods for what is said to be another journey in haste up river, the proprietor Jon Smythe—the original Smythe—is seen busy with last minute queries among traders in The Wide, toward short or horsebows that would be purchased for the “effort” in the East, near Elturel.

Steve wrote: Sun May 03, 2020 6:25 pm Having returned from river voyage up the Chionthar to Elturel to deliver goods in haste, the Half-elven Jon Smythe, proprietor of the Chionthar Charter & Seaward Supply Co., almost leaps from the rail of The Fleetwood as it comes to dock in the Gate's harbor, and at a near running clip, walks straight to the Wide, immediately purchasing all available shortbows of quality he can find.

If curious to his endeavor, and asked, Smythe is not closed-mouthed in the least: "Tis a moment to steer the balance of power toward the good of the Lord's Alliance my fellows, being the rumor once only heard, I have now received a first person tale in my latest voyage up the Chionthar. The Hellriders, an admirable force, must be supported against their enemy...which is also our enemy...though, certain agreements seem to provide protection to such an insidious evil. Tis these Hellriders that make a stand, and I for one, will do my part in the war."

Turning to the other merchants around, and passing the word, Smythe states his desire to purchase quality shortbows or horsebows, usable upon horseback, and part of the skilled arsenal of renown among the Hellriders. And any wishing to be a part of the effort to improve the advantage of the Hellriders over the growing menace of the Black Network, should contact Smythe at the Helm & Cloak with haste...for he could only purchase so many weapons with current coin. Donations also being graciously accepted.

Making her way through the farmland Dawnbringer Aspen Meynolt approaches anyone willing to lend their ear to hear about the Morninglord, inviting them to welcome the dawn of the tenday's end with her in the arena located north of the Gate. As she enters through the palace district she continues assertively stopping persons on the street with a welcoming smile, inviting common and noble alike to her dawn service. Approaching the eastern walls she beings hanging flyer before making stop at the Blade and Stars inn. She leaves the inn with a basket in hand carrying bread and healing supplies towards the docks. There, she targets those looking without cause, offering them word of hope, of the purpose found in the Morninglord's light, his teachings of renewal and self-improvement, and imploring them to come to the dawn service.

Welcome the dawn this end of tenday with us in the arena north of the city.

Reflect on the tenday that has been, reach the Morninglord in prayer, and prepare for the tenday to come.

An armored woman with a cloak of Ilmater was yelling angrily at a man with a black pointy hat and a cloak of Myrkul on the eastern farmlands campfire, it wasn't long before the man decided to teleport away and escape.

Around the campfire post in the Eastern Farmlands, some fowl cried foul when being kicked away.

But the biggest chicken just squawked
