the big Shallam robbery

Last month I robbed Shallam. A lot of people have been asking me
questions
about this, even a God wanted to talk to me about it! People asked me
why I
had done it, why would I betray everyone in Shallam, whether I had
become
mad, why this, why that..
So why did I do it? Because I was actually a special agent for Ashtan
on a
secret mission from Mistral, the Shadow Matrix. I fooled everyone in
Shallam, including Maran *smirk*. Only a couple of people knew about this.
Shallam, so I started to make the proper arrangement to transfer the
funds,
and I did (gosh, I am making it sound very easy).
I'm not going to tell you how i did it. But it's not something i just
did
for nothing. Not even the expected divine disfavour from Miramar could
stop
me from taxing Shallam.
Some people said that i couldn't possibly be so smart enough to do
something
as big as this. After all, I'm just a lame drunk, ain't I? I can
assure
all of you that this was my original idea and my idea alone. Some other
people gave me tips, helped me do it, but it was my own idea.
Some people asked me if I did it because the Church and Shallam are
hypocrites. I must answer No to that. Some people are hypocrites of
course, but not all of them. I actually have had an interesting talk
with
Isildur just before i wrote this post. He had more to say than Maran
and
everyone else who did not like what i did, although he had to mention
the
usual threats in the end, of course.
I know that everyone in Shallam will want to hunt me for eternity, and
that
I'm already a dead man etc. etc. etc.
Well, what can i say about that? Good luck? Have fun?
That's all for now. I'm sure I don't have to say anything else,
because
(almost) nobody will forget about this. Oh, two more things. I want to
thank
every Shallamite for cooperating with me, Maran for appointing me as
the
Treasurer, Dalithus and Anaidiana for making me their aides.
And I'm quitting drinking, I'm sure the smarter ones among
you
can figure out why. If not, too bad.
I'm not going to tell why I do, as I do...
