• (2010-09-01 00:41) the Travelling Salesman leaps over his cart and finds the man to be bleedingly profusely, but still alive! "I'm terribly sorry, sir! That almost never happens!"
• (2010-09-01 00:43) the Travelling Salesman no longer cares about the man he almost killed, instead he focuses his attention on his cart and machetes. "Your blood is tainting my blades, I'm afraid you're going to have to pay for those."
• (2010-09-01 00:45) the Travelling Salesman pulls out his notebook and scribbles the name Noahsan into the pages. He notes the number 300 next to the name. "That's 30 machetes at 10gc a piece. 300gc, please."
• (2010-09-01 00:47) the Travelling Salesman writes another note with the same information on a different page and tears it out. He hands it to Noahsan, "That's your receipt, keep it on hand or you won't recieve your shipment."
• (2010-09-01 00:50) the Travelling Salesman lifts his cart up off the ground, resheathing all of the machetes. "I won't give you the goods unless you pay me first, just remember that."

New Haven Strikes

After this encounter, Solemn declared that York Season was open. This was announced on the forums.

For the month of September, the Society of New Haven shall wreak havoc and make sport of all Yorkers in and around York. I must advise that you focus on the belligerent types and implore you to shy away from the folks who are relatively peaceful. This is, after all, an attack on the audacity of the unsporting Yorkers who would do us harm!

Through this attack, we hope to gain freedom from their willy-nilly attacks, along with challenging any and all upstanding Yorkers to make themselves known, 'lest they fall into the stereotypical rabble of the typical Yorkie persuasion.

At the end of the month as signalled by EST, whomever has the most Yorkie kills or kills on those aligned with York's best interests shall receive a special prize! Be it crate after crate of wine? A heap of gold? A special weapon? Such a thing shall be revealed within the week, so step forth and polish your blades with the interior of someone's skull, just remember to make sure they're from York!

Victory Speech

• Leaky Bocks obtains a signature for the item and departs.
• Aiden Dakari eyes the package in Solemn's hands, "Is that what I think it is, mate?"

...

• zomtard says “I was told I was wanted here?”

...

• The Prisoner strolls in with a grin, wiping the blood off his knife. "Caught little Jack hiding in the hut southwest of here. You drink alone, you die alone."
• The Prisoner says “Algy, you got my money? Or I gotta wait for Giov to get back in?”
• Aiden Dakari takes a sip of his beer and chuckles, "That's 2 payoffs at once now Algy. I'm still waitin' on mine."
• The Prisoner takes a shot of bourbon, "No rush or anything, ole chap, we know you're good for it."

• Algy Templeton says “And yours too. Don't spend it all at once now.”
• Algy Templeton eyes The Prisoner as he hands him his money. "Also, you may want to go see some kind of eye doctor. Being able to tell who's a chap and who's a chapess is a handy skill."
• Aiden Dakari grins, "And the only lass in here is likely to tear your throat out fer lookin' I'd say."
• The Prisoner says “Aye, well no harm no foul, Shaweeri's the only girl for me...”

...

• Solemn would take the hefty gift from Leaky Bocks, visibly jarred at the first fleeting moments he held the heavy metal mug. "Gentlemen, and lovely Lass, I propose a toast!"
• Solemn pours a measure of beer, wine, rum, into the tankard he held. "The beer of the outsiders, the rum of the pirates, and the wine of Durham's own Palermo!"
• Solemn dashes in a dose of quinine from a first aid kit, wrenches off the slug from a bullet to tap a measure of gunpower, and holds up a single gold coin. Healers, soldiers, business men are we!"
• Solemn tosses a gold coin into the air and catches it. The coin shows heads.
• Solemn beams as the head-facing coin plops into the all-too unique drink he now held in the mug. Holding it up, one could see the peppery fizzle it now seethed with.
• Solemn says “This metal is like the brew it holds! Used in blades, rifles, needles, shovels, it brings us prosperity, purpose, and pride! But tonight, it covets merriment we enjoy!”
• Solemn waggles the fizzling drink before everyone. "Behold, the Brawler's Tankard! Worthy of only the most brutal, the most relentless, and the most bad-ass of New Haveners to ever tangle with Yorkers!"
• Solemn thrusts the vivacious broth at zomtard. "You, my good man, are that person. Twelve Yorkers lay dead at your hands, though you trekked from Durham to Rebel's Roost, you answered the call!" )
• Solemn says “Hacking and slashing, both barrels blazing, and all while keeping your tophat straight. May we ALL live up to your heroic example this past month!”
• Solemn attacks everyone with a Brawler's tankard for 3 damage.
• Solemn would waltz about, knocking each person at the bar with the enormous mug, before spinning about with his hands around it, offering the bare handle to its rightful owner. "Zomtard, enjoy."
• Solemn says “It bubbles with the vivacity of New Haven, blooded on Durham's own, and earned by your very sweat. Take it. Wield it in the taverns with honor.” ()
• Solemn raises up a shout once the tankard was received that would be followed quickly by everyone gathered. "Zomtard, the York-slayer!"
• Solemn would turn to Aiden with a chuckle. "Tied for third place with Hobo, you did. Full prize to both of you."
• Solemn slips 100 GC to Aiden Dakari's pockets.
