[TheForge] Fw: [EKMetalsmiths] Fw: [SCA- STOLEN SWORDS!!!

Mon Sep 22 21:08:01 2003

Guys, I know this trheft is well out of our area, but I figured I'd pass the
information along- no telling where they might end up- this was a big heist.

Stephanie, I included Trimaris Cooks because I was hoping you'd send the
information along down in your Kingdom.

Saint Phlip,

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
