I've heard rumors saying I have something against dwarves. I don't know where the rumors came from, but it's a highly prejudicial situation for the council having things like that said about one of its members.
Try and find out who started these rumors and I'll find a way to quiet them. Talk to Gunnar FiendBane first, so he knows about what's going on.

It's not a minor situation having citizens having these kings of things about the council. I agree with Hemma Copperbottom, they must come to an end unless they are justified.
Talk to Ursor, the town crier. He must know something about this.
Ursor said...
I haven't heard anything new about it, but I know Oddi Fullglass always thought that Henna Copperbottom had something against her.
Between the two of us, Hemma Copperbottom isn't the most popular politician in the kingdom. She is insulting and arrogant, but she manages to spread her bitterness equally to all the kingdom's corners, it's nothing against dwarves particularly.
You should talk to Oddi Fullglass. She's usually very honest. I'm sure she'll tell the truth.

If you must know, I think Hemma Copperbottom has something against dwarves. I remember clearly that day on the market; she called Parsis 'flowery wart' and 'keg bottom' to Mitra Oakmeadows. Ask her about it and see if she denies it.

It's true, I said all those things, but it wasn't about them being dwarves. Parsis looks like a glorified warp with all the depressing attitude and Mitra Oakmeadows can store as much beer as a bottomless keg. I remember that same day calling Sunlinda 'sick smilodon face'... it's not my fault that she has a moustache.
I guess I was inspired that day...
Oddi Fullglass said...
Well, it's not like she denies it.... and it's true the kindness' fairy was absent the day of her birth...
Fine. Regrettably, being a jerk is not a crime.
Hemma Copperbottom said...
You have known how to deal with the situation. You're not that useless after all and this is not a complete waste of my gold.
