Title: [Letter to Sergeant Colmes]
Post by: d1n4l9q7 on March 17, 2023, 12:21:29 PM
I am writing to express my displeasure with an encounter with a corrupt ruffian named Wulfsige Greyson. I was merely minding my own business walking through the town square when Mr Greyson popped out and accosted me, he claimed the stick in my hand was a deadly weapon. I politely explained to Mr Greyson that it was merely a command stick, far from being a deadly weapon. It was at this point Mr Greyson demanded to search my pack, which I consented to as I had nothing to hide. What happened next is outrageous! He then demanded payment of 25 dinar as a fine for holding a stick! Outrageous! I contested this outrage as any upstanding gentleman would, and then he began to try and extort a total of 50 dinars out of me! I was coerced into paying this unlawful fine. Now I write to you good sir to see this wrong undone and have this ruffian Mr Greyson be given a good dressing down for his abuse of power. I should hope not all guests to your town are treated with such distain and disrespect.

Yours Sincerely,

Charlie Wellington

Charlie Wellington,

What is a 'command stick'?

Dear Sergeant R. Colmes.

A command stick is a short thin stick used to point and issue commands on the battlefield.  It is inappropriate as a weapon and merely a tool of command. I wouldn’t want to face an ambush of ruffians without my command stick.

Yours Sincerely,

Charlie Wellington
