Breakfast at Ticanee's

Lady Xenobia Dawn wishes it to be known that any Ticanee who requires sponsorship may contact her and arrange something that shall be financially agreeable to both her and the prospective sponsoree.

The Srennian Weapon Blessing held by Her Ladyship Priestess Xenobia Dawn was a great success with people from all walks and ranks of society coming to have their weaponry blessed for future conflict. Present where Her Highness Princess Eliana Elianik, His Highness the Prince Triumver Vahlgellan Elianik, Mer Harik, Centurion Alexa Talonmark, Mer Ditanos, Mer Sangreos Tabernik, Captain Saltuk Cottonmouth, Mer Sharik, His Lordship Commander Erythes Ista Aldrik, Her Ladyship Priestess Fidelia Ista Aldrik, several members of the Guerilla Regiment of Ticanee and many more worshippers and warriors alike. (apologies if I forgot anyone) The service was widely commended by all who attended and prayed to the Mistress of Battle.

The little brattling that everyone knows as Ekenca...or Eke if you don`t want her to bite your shins (mind you its normally Eeeeeeeeek!..get her off me!!) has been sporting many a bruise and laceration of late since returning from the Srennian trip. It seems she has taken up hunting and even learnt a few things from a certain Ticanee Warden. There are even reports of her strutting proudly about a grove of trees holding her vanquished quarry (presumably a rabbit but with the number of arrows sticking from its corpse it was mistaken for a somewhat vicious hedgehog) high above her head and looking rather proud at all the praise heaped upon her from the veteran Guerilla and longtime Warden of the Forest.

Captain Saltuk 'Big Ugly Moose' Cottonmouth has been going about the encampment with a somewhat puzzled look upon his face and when he isn`t puzzled he is somewhat annoyed. It seems someone is sending him dead rabbits and as much as he enjoys a good rabbit stew as the next man, he can`t help but wonder if the rabbits are legally hunted...still he thinks highly of whoever should send such gifts and gives them the benefit of the doubt for they tasted damn good by all accounts so the evidence is gone and what little fur and sinew could be gleaned from the boiling glop was put into storage for the Clan itself. Other than offering what help he can to the urchin Eke (or Little One as he calls her much to her annoyance) his life has so far revolved around training his Regiment of Guerilla's and purchasing many a useful item for the Clan, items which border more on the arms and munitions side of things than the luxury side of things.

Centurion Alexa Talonmark was involved in the thick of things the other day as she and several others tried to assist a couple of people from a sinkhole in the Bear District. After much screaming and such from one young trapped lady who unfortunately suffered from a fear of horses (which wasn`t helped by a horse and noble rider falling down the hole) clamped herself to Harik (never has the man smiled so much by all accounts) and proceded to be hoisted out of the hole after light was provided. Of course nothing could be as simple as providing light although in this case the logs and such that where thrown down hit Alexa squarely on the noggin. Still their efforts are to be commended for the noble horsewoman and the more squeamish lass where freed and sent upon their way....alas the horse was unable to be rescued and had to be put down.

Seems Harik has been seen with an old Army acquaintence who is looking to capture a Shammie, they talked late into the night, as the murmurs could be heard as they drank ale behind closed doors at the Setting Sun Huts, wonder what that's all about. Harik also found the sinkhole with the little mes trapped in it and helped get her out, how did he know she was a bareback rider. He took a spill with her on his back and they were both injured and then Harik disappeared into the distance.

Her Ladyship Centurion Xenobia Dawn, Priestess of Srenna seems to be in a high state of activity regarding her impending marriage to Primo Cottonmouth *IC father beams with pride throughout this paragraph* The wedding to be held in Spring at the Oshta's Manor and no doubt many a guest from all over the social spectrum shall arrive. An Honour Guard has been promised by the her future Father-in-Law and likewise he has been dashing about trying to find all that he can for such a ceremony.

Sir Quonasi has been as diligent in his duties as most times, fulfilling them with his usual flair and such....but otherwise a quiet week publically.

Murat was seen out in the forest with Fresia Leifkin and her guards, whatever they discuss is unknown but it is discussed that the young Vrelander prefers the company of Ticanee to Firans. It also seems that the Warden chanced upon her while he was riding through the forest upon his steed and after disturbing her guards and indeed herself the warden finally offered to ride the young Fresia home....escorted by the Vrelander Guards who by all accounts saluted Warden Cottonmouth, a rare occurance indeed.

Good news, everyone welcome Likaro to the clan...spam him with praise and many a welcome and greeting.

Who owns Timber, a horse in the Ticanee Stables? Xenobia is trying to make a record of who owns what horse. She has made a scroll and left it in the stables with the owners of the named horses-- if this list is wrong, please let her know.

• Merik owned by Sir Quonasi? or Lord Taleo?
• Lokai owned by Terpsika
• Buchephalus owned by Terpsika
• Machi owned by Terpsika
• Fury owned by Alexa
• Snake owned by Kendra
• Timber owned by ???

If anyone knows the last horse's owner, please let Xenobia know. If the list is wrong then let her know and she will correct it. Thanks.

And Ekenca once more seems proud with herself, strutting her little self about with more attittude than a thing with a great amount of attitude...something to do with an elk that refused to die...could it be her hunting skills are improving?, finally the little urchin is learning the way of the Ticanee...but don`t tell her that, don`t think she's realised it yet.

Anyone interested in joining the Guerilla Regiment of Ticanee contact Saltuk via messenger. Many a stealthy skill can be learnt and free armour too...of course should all out war break out then you`ll be called forward to prove your worth.

Alongside Likaro please welcome and adore the ever mischievous Hadiya, spam her and snug her into submission and if that don`t work I don`t know what will :) welcome to the clan!

Will Rijeka and Kendra stop their arguing?, will the summer ever stop following spring?..tis doubtful but at least it provides us with a Ticanee Soap Opera to watch and those barbed comments flying back and forth are often masterful in the extreme.

Poor Kendra...also one of the brave Ticanee lowered into the sinkhole to rescue those poor unfortunates who where trapped...all Ticanee involved should be thanked and thkaned again for it seems they where among the last to elave the incident while all the Firan's moved off on their separate ways. With everyone gone though it meant the horse could not be rescued and the sling which Kendra made to fit about the horses stomach which in practice was a superb idea alas failed to work...if only more people remained and if only more people had the initiative and bravery of those Ticanee involved. Biased?...yes..but rightly so. :)
