Dear Tam,

So there was this big hooplah about the were-squirrel, Steve sent out me, Keres, Draylor, Dev, and Ragnum to put up informational posters. It was all just regular were-info, silver, full moon, yada yada. Everyone wanted to investigate the were-squirrel so I just went with the flow like usual.
That led us meeting Pip, the guy who discovered the skin left behind that started all this fuss! He was in the mess hall playing cards with some other shorter species like halflings and gnomes. I ended up joining them and shifting to be small Die-anna (small-anna??). I don’t really know what Pip is, he had a cool full covering outfit with magical darkness to shield his face. You know what ended up being useful? My lessons in common sign language! So shove that in Alms face for me when you see her. Pip can hear but it was fun to break out my sign finally, Ragnum also knew but I did most of the talking since Dwarfs are part of the tallies to them. Anyways, Pip told us that he found the skin and burned it because of his Nana’s teachings.

So the skin was gone which didn’t leave us with much. Dev had us over at the newspaper place since that’s where the eggheads set up. Merry wasn’t around, which was about food because I didn’t wanna smell laundry tea but bad because I do wanna see what she’s cooking up.
Ragnum and Dev poured through the books like no problem and read a bunch of info about the dreaded were-squirrel! This was also about the time everyone realized that the were-squirrel was really just Draylors costume from my holiday party…. To say I didn’t know would be a lie. I just wanted to see how far things would go! Ragnum was not a happy camper when he put the dots together, I thought he was gonna bring down the hammer on Draylor!
So, our goal moved from kill the were-squirrel kill the hysteria about it! We ended up deciding to test everyone with some silver coins.

We went back to the mess hall and began our testing. Everyone passed but we had some trouble with a half elf named Jenna. Keres was able to convince her to do the test but only after flipping off her because of the whole Dead Brians things, maybe we should work on that…Anyway I didn’t see that last part and whipped a coin at her head to test her… ooopps. Also Draylor tried to test everyone by putting silver shaving into the camps food……. Uhhh… one day I think Cook is really gonna kill. Ragnum and Dev ended up straining the soup and saving all of us from heavy metal poisoning.
We ended up having a party on the night of the rising moon. It was fun! Even though the start of this thing was a lie I think it ended up being a great night. Mira and Odett were dancing, Dev started a game of darts, Ragnum was playing poker, overall it was a fun night! And no one even got mauled!
Anyway I gotta bake one of mom’s pies for Keres (she moved next door!) so wish me luck and if that fails wish Keres an iron stomach!
Die-anna
