As the morning air fills the roads of Jastrie, something unusual strikes fear into the hearts of passers by. On the town post, carved by some sort of blade, says the words; "Come out if you can sheriff".
Astrum walks up slowly, wobbling quite dangerously. His eyes are turned skywards and his hands are held out on either side to balance himself. Despite this precaution, a small stumble sends him clattering to the ground. Astrum sits up rubbing his head and grumbling darkly.
"Bloody sky-rabbits..."
His gaze shifts to the town post and he leans in for a closer inspection. He mouths the words slowly, then hops up to a standing position. Reaching into his pouch he retrieves a small writing stick and with a great flourish, Astrum inscribes his name upon the post. He then writes below it.
'Now this riddle is quite easy, if you look within. It Rhymes with a word that Begins with M. The m Is not Where the Word Describes, thOugh I suPpose you coulD say it is Nearby. Two Letters away And the word You will seE, now what rhymes with that, it is the number three. two copies in both, three others the same; it would seem twos and threes are the name of this game.'
As Astrum contnues to scribe on the post, from in the upper parts of the trees, a throwing blade is thrown and sticks into the post quite close to Astrum. It seems to be some sort of outlandish throwing star.

Astrum struts off, chuckling quietly to himself.
