Author’s Note: I wanted to write another Trimaldi Bros. letter home, but realized I wanted them all in a single thread, so I’m going to (1) copy over the letter I did in the comments of the Session 05 recap, then (2) write the new letter here. And subsequent letters, as they bubble up.

TO: THE GAZE TRIMALDI, VILLAGE TRISHENKO, THE LANDS OF NEAR DARAN
FROM: THE BROS. TRIMALDI, IFLA, HAVEN
Hello to Ma and Pa and the Kits and the Gaze and the Village. I am writing this to you with my brothers telling me about what I must talk about and what I mustn’t talk about.
We are in a land with many strange names, and Big People.
We had to do business with Wolves. Real Wolves. Not like the nice family on the edge of town.
We are lonely without the rest of the Gaze, or the Village. The metal suit is working well, and we work on it to make it better. We are still sad for the Wandering Lady, but will make her spirit proud.
This island, Haven, is where the Archmagus was. It has magical things here. It does not have room for the Village. We are walking to the Hundred Cities, who might have room, or who might know where such a land is.
We are eating well. Some of us more than well. But we miss you, and the food there.
We will work hard for you.
Top to Bottom, Shiny, Tiny, and Whiney
Your Trimaldi Bros.

TO: THE GAZE TRIMALDI, VILLAGE TRISHENKO, THE LANDS OF NEAR DARAN
FROM: THE BROS. TRIMALDI, NEXT PLACE WE FIND A POST OFFICE
Hello to Ma and Pa and the Kits and the Gaze and the Village. The others did not think I told our story right the last letter, so we will take turns telling what is happening to us so that you know.
We have been in many adventures and fights. We have been moving steadily, and the clank is working well. we have had a long journey.
We have been named by our allies Trimaldi Haltisbane. It sounds more useful as Trimaldi Drakehuntersbane. trimaldi dragonbanebane sound scarier.
We got that name because we fought the mean drake hunter Halti. The drakes were scary, but she was trying to kill them for bad reasons. we did not let her scare us.
We defeated Halti twice. She and her army tried to stop us, but we figured out the answer. we were strong and resolute.
So we should be Trimaldi Reallyhaltisbane. That would be rubbing it in. Maybe Huntersbane. which do you think would be scarier to bad people we meet?
Before we failed the friends. The drakes were too strong. But we have helped our friends in other fights. We have been very brave. we helped the drakes, too, which was kind of funny-strange.
We have met good friends here. They need our help to be protected. we will protect them however we can.
We have found a land with space on it. The land has a lot of drakes, though. We are continuing to travel west. maybe one of the many hundred cities (hundred is many many) will have some space.
All my love. We miss you. we are so far away.
Shiny, Tiny, and whiney

TO: THE GAZE TRIMALDI, VILLAGE TRISHENKO, THE LANDS OF NEAR DARAN
FROM: THE BROS. TRIMALDI, DELMAR-ON-THE-SEA
Hello to Ma and Pa and the Kits and the Gaze and the Village. Our distant, much-missed Family, and Village:
Whiny and Tiny are working on getting the clank ready for our next piece of travel. They were happy to lt me write this.
We are well. Whiny had a toothache a few days ago, but it is all better now.
We have been exploring beyond Harmony, and found many strange lands, and met interesting people, and fought bad guys, but also made many friends. We have been heroes, most of the time, and are very proud.
One set of friends is a tailor, Sirius Harmon, in Delmar-on-the-Sea (though it is the opposite side of the land from our sea), about mumblety-mumble miles down the peninsula from the Big Bridge. Sirius is part of an effort to rebuild the city of Delmar-on-the-Hill, which used to be where everyone here lived, until there were earthquakes, so they moved away. He has said that our people would be welcome in resettling the city. It would probably be hard work, but we have solved the earthquakes that were happening, and it might be a place our people could come. It is much less cold, and much better for places to grow food, but there have also been dangers here from remains of the Archmagus and his empire, and other wild creatures.
We will be exploring further. We cannot tell you what to do. We will continue to send letters. We hope you get them, and if something we have found will help our people of Trishenko, we trust you will do what is needful.
If you send messages back, we might get them. We would love to know how all are doing and hope all are well. Did Sniffly’s litter drop safely? Did the doctor’s cough get better? Did the Mysterious Middens turn out to have anything interesting buried in it? We would like to know!
We all send the smells and tastes from our hearts to you all. We are far away and wish we were there or (maybe!) you were here.
Shiny / Tiny / Whiny
Your Trimaldi Bros.
