Hi Mr. Druid!! I hope things are good with you. I see you've been saying lots of mean things about me. That's ok. I mutter a lot about hippies under my breath, so I think we're even. But seriously... that's a lot of negativititties!

Anyways... I was thinking... I'm sorry. I just noticed that winter is approaching and that means I should be nicer to people in the south because I probably need food because I really like food and the people in the south have food and therefore I should be nicer to the people in the south. GOOD NEWS!! THAT'S YOU!!

I was curious if you'd like to consider setting up an arrangement to bake some pies for me next turn. Any amount would be rad. Maybe 100,000 pies? That would easily be worth 50,000 gold to me. I'd ask the pirate but - as pirates do - he's disappeared ever since he and my cousin got mutual "booty", whatever that is. I think your queen was involved. Not positive.

Anyways, to sum up the high points: you're more awesome starting next month, maybe we can work out something for a 100k pack of chicken nuggets, get Mrs. Druid tested. Whaddya say?!

Love and hugs,
LORD Halfling

We Druids tend to take sabbaticals from time to time in the woods to commune with nature and animals all of that.   You know, Tree Hugging, Flower Sniffing, Dog petting.  Good Stuff. And as the Great Druid I sometimes get to take the whole weekend with the little druids and do things like teach em the difference between flora and fauna.  They always get that wrong!  And sometimes we forget to check the ravens for important messages that come from People.

But, I did find your message (eventually) and I do have food to sell.  If you need some this turn, let me know as I wont be ordering around my druid helpers till later today.  If not, I'm sure we can work something out next turn.

Mr. Druid, that is amazing! Let's plan for next turn!!
