From the Mistwatch compound, gossip trickles into town that that brash young recruit Tig has gotten himself in some trouble again following the Town Council, where a giant lady foreigner tried to command his fealty by making him kiss her *lumber axe*! Waking up the next day to find himself newly renowned as Sir Tig the Axe-Kisser, the young man apparently then threw the first punch to start a fight with a fellow recruit after some additional remarks regarding his parentage. Maybe Recruit Tig should have spent the last several weeks bragging a little less around the compound about his new foreigner friends... In any case, the luckless fellow seems to have been assigned another round of penance by the Quartermaster and is not likely to be seen in town again very soon.
Whenever he returns, though, he'll almost certainly be treated to numberless renditions of a very bawdy new "Sir Tig the Axe-Kisser" ballad riffing off the traditional favorite "Antrig the Axe-Wielder" -- going around town, it is said, courtesy of a few young wastrels who felt the Kintish newcomer was drawing the eye of their best girls a bit too much.
