A'right folks. We had a meetin wit' da defenders in Solhaven last night. Here's da jist a what was said.

1. Der's a new critter causin a ruckus down south. Called a Oracle. Very bad news. We'll has a discussion bout dis one soon as we gits more information.

2. Reckon da critters opened a new portal. Dat's what da new critters is a'comin through, along wit alla da old ones.

3. Rimalon has been taken over by da beasties dat we're a'fightin. Keeps in mind he ain't always under der control, but when he is he can be very dangerous. Da critters can also use him ta summon other critters. Dis don't gives ya permission ta has open season on Rimalon. He's only ta be harmed if he's a threat ta the Drakes or others durin a invasion.

4. Da mobile tower in Solhaven has been put inta use. We needs folks ta man it. But, we as Drakes has mostly gotten a bit too tough ta waste our fightin folk a'shootin from da tower. So here's what I'se a'askin each of ya ta does. Recruit folk in da town yer in, be it da landin er mule, ta travel ta solhaven in time a need ta man da tower. Make yer pitch mostly ta younger folks dat won't has much of a chance ta fight ag'in da critters we'll be facin. We 'spect da tower ta be important fer da ground troops. We needs alla da cover we can git fer dis fight.

5. Speakin a da tower, each member of da Drakes needs ta has a bow (longbows be bestest) an' at least a hunnerd arrows on em at all times. Dis be fer if (or when) ya dies. Ya can recover yer strength in da tower an' still fire arrows at critters ta help out da folks dat still be fightin toe ta toe.

6. Any questions ya gots try ta 'members em an' we'll cover em soon as we can.
