Willem's Stand :: Part Ten

I am furious...I cannot believe the nerve of that man. He is not only a disgrace to the unit but to the city as a whole.

I saw Rastus accept a bribe today. Right out in plain sight! The unit was on our guard rotation and he let a wagon into the city without even inspecting it. The driver gave him a pouch, full of coin I am sure, and Rastus just let him through.

The man is a fool, with everything going on... how can he risk letting the gods know what into the city? The Vulmane have been obliterated, the few survivors taking refuge in the forest of the elves. The Halflings are beginning to abandon their beloved Willowroot, fleeing to the fields northeast of Bordinar's Cleft. The dead are coming, everyone knows. The entire city is thick with tension and bordering on open panic.

The only thing keeping the order is us and now Rastus is taking bribes. It was not enough being a drunken fool, now he is a crooked drunken fool.

I doubt he could even use that big sword he is so fond of parading around with. He looks worse than a sick dog and does not smell much better. Maybe we will get lucky and the cretin will drink himself to death before we need a real leader.
