You vex me.
I have taken the children.
If you want them returned to you, you must acquire ten Prize Tokens and
bring them to me two days hence when the sun is at its zenith. I will be
waiting for you in a clearing on the east bank of the river, approximately
one mile north of the village.

Ah, Mayor Flint! Shame on you – this letter was not addressed to you! Still, I
knew you would read it. In many ways you have brought this on yourself.
Do not attempt to hand these people the tokens they need - let them prove
they are the heroes they pretend to be or you may never see your children
again.

~The Green Wrath~

I will be watching you

Mayor Flint,

Why do you persist with this festival?

How can you continue to be blind to the animals and plants you
thoughtlessly kill with your ambition?
If you continue along this path, more wagons will be attacked, more people
will be harmed. Can your desire to dominate this land be worth it?

I will not warn you again.

~The Green Wrath~
