Attached is a copy of the most recent Rhydin Census. Now according to the figures provided by the Rhydin Watch in their press release

130 bodies attributed to the Zodiac killer 60 members of the Rhydin Watch killed in the line of duty during the slave raids 123 girls taken during the slave raids 34 slavers killed in retaliation for the slave raids 3 murders not associated with a serial killer 3 massacres attributed to separate individuals where the body count is still being tallied. 1 reported kidnapping 3 violent assaults 1 case of draconic infanticide 1 unknown explosion

Ten percent of the population was murdered last month, another five percent was bonded into slavery, and the rest of the population just seems to be going freaking nuts.

Therefore the Rhydin treasury has alloted funds for the hiring of 100 new watch men to be outfitted as per contract by RUDE. Interested applicants should contact Tom Thompson with a resume to schedule an interview.

We also have budgeted for an upgrade of the Port South Holding Facility, and remodeling of the local holding cells in each watch station.

She flipped through the papers as she read them. Rhydin was going down the toilet....again.

It baffled her. It seemed the town's crime has only skyrocketed since she was elected. It was if the jackasses of the multi-verses had decided to come in droves just out of spite towards her....or her title. Either way, it was sucking hardcore.

"I'm so disgusted with this, I could just hork hairballs for days." She muttered as she tossed the papers onto her desk. Her clawed fingertips came up to rub at her temples and run across her forehead. Another headache was coming on. Great.

And where the hell were the town's almighty "heroes" anymore? Well, they were apparently no longer here. Fair weather friends of Rhydin...

She took the papers and scrawled her signature across the bottom, then slapped a stamp onto it.

"APPROVED"
