The Badger’s Den: Moonberry Juice Thief At Large!
Greetings my fellow Azerothians, this is your local action gnome, Fimble “Badger-nose” Gyrotorque reporting to you live from the Scarlet Raven Tavern in Darkshire, Duskwood. In this week’s segment I met up with the Captain of the Knights of Dusk, Remaerd Moonberry, to discuss a growing problem within the human regions surrounding Stormwind City. Before we get deeper into that subject, however, let’s find out more about our…
Darkshire’s town bell begins to ring.
Fimble: “It would seem we are currently under attack!”
Sounds of soldiers running around gathering weapons and taking positions can be heard.
Remaerd: “No need to worry Fimble, the Knights will see to our security here, it is a nightly occurrence. No need to be alarmed.”
Remaerd smiles at Fimble.
Fimble: “Very well then.”
Fimble: “Like I was saying, let us learn more about the army that this gentleman to my side leads: The Knights of Dusk. An intimidating name it would seem, can you tell us a little about your fold’s history?”
Remaerd: “Our order is filled with farmers and blacksmiths, but you can also find former pirates, nobles, deserters of the army, and various other unique individuals in our ranks. I am a prime example as a juice salesman turned Captain of the Armies of the Dusk.”
Fimble: “Similar to the People’s Militia from Westfall?”
Remaerd: “Aye, the call for help was sounded, and we answered.”
Fimble flips through his papers.
Fimble: “So let’s get down to business. There have been an increased amount of reports of ransacking and thefts of Moonberry Juice shipments and production warehouses. Do you have any leads on who the perpetrators may be?”
Remaerd: “We have several suspects at the moment. Most of our clues point to the powerful forsaken mage, Vikros, who seems to find great pleasure in tormenting the local townsfolk. Our second suspect is a blood elf warlock that goes by the name of Dorian, the self proclaimed “Dark Knight of Duskwood”.”
Fimble: “Do these two suspects work alone?”
Remaerd: “We tend to see them keep to themselves, though they both keep close ties to the infamous Blacktooth Grin. The level of association isn’t high enough to make any sort of accusation yet. I can only hope the Moonberry theft riddle is solved soon.”
Fimble: “What makes this Moonberry Juice so important Remaerd?”
Remaerd: “Well you see Fimble, Moonberry Juice is actually improperly named. It is actually a wine made from the berries that grow near Moonwells. It is also the only type of alcoholic beverage allowed here in Duskwood.”
Fimble: “I see. Remaerd, do you have any additional commentary for our readers?”
Remaerd: “Only that drinking Moonberry Juice has been proven to increase the lifespan of a person by at least fifteen years!”
Fimble: “A precious resource indeed. Well, from the Scarlet Raven Tavern, this is your local action gnome Fimble “Bader-nose” Gyrotorque signing off and getting back to the front lines, where I will continue to dig up the dirt and break the mold for my readers!”
Good night Azeroth!
Linfae finds the need to make a slight adjustment to the Captain’s statement, that Moonberry Juice is the only alcoholic beverage SOLD in Duskwood. Wouldn’t want to discourage any potential recruits from considering service.
