Dear fellow merchants of Bree-land,
I, Frimsi Gembeard, should like to propose a most unusual but no less effective and hopefully cheap solution to our recent goblin-related problems! Thankfully we have recovered our dear friend Frodefast from the clutches of his goblin captors, but I am afraid our goblin troubles are far from over. As recently Watcher Redweed who is stationed at Staddle has informed me of a goblin threat from the Midgewater Marshes and so has requested our assistance in dealing with it. If Staddle is overrun by goblins that will cut off Bree from much of its food supplies. And we need those food supplies if Bree is to continue becoming the thriving center of trade that we want it to be! And in addition to that we can't have goblins scaring away our customers! So I believe it is in our best interests to do something about this as soon as we can.
Thankfully I have a creative if unusual solution to this problem! We could spend the time and money arming a militia to fight these goblins and proceed to risk losing the lives of our dear neighbors. Or we could do something else much quicker and much cheaper! I propose creating a team of Dwarves to pretend to be Dourhands and order the goblins to go away in the name of Angmar. I shall volunteer myself to participate in this mission. I assure you my Dourhand impression is impeccable. And I know many other talented Dwarves that can assist me in this mission. Of course we shall have to charge the town of Bree for our services, as this will be a dangerous mission. But our price will only be a fraction of the cost it would take to arm and send a militia! And if this harebrained scheme blows up in my face, we can go ahead and send the militia anyway. But considering how much time and money we can potentially save with this scheme, I for one think it is worth a shot!
Yours Truly,
Frimsi Gembeard
