Homeless Bob

The Orcs' war against the homeless has sadly taken its first victim: the snaga hut (slave house) of John Duke.

A homeless person commonly seen sneaking around PaxLair City, eluding capture and torture by the Orcs, by the name of 'Homeless Bob' has taken residence in the recently established Snaga Hut, next to the Ladies of the Lair. "I talked to him a few times," stated John Duke "I tried to report him but every time the Orcs came he was gone. He's almost as good as me when it comes to hiding and stealthing."

"I wasn't too worried about him at first." he continued "but then he started sleeping in the woods outside my hut, slowly moving forward, until he was on my front porch. I still wasn't too concerned since I only need a very small space and it was still really out doors. So I didn't report it. But that all soon changed as I came back to my little hut for supplies and noticed it had been put into serious dismay as well as a message was left on the board stating 'Hello I have decided to squat here on your front porch. Squatters rights say I own this'." 

Yes, Squatter's Rights. Some law that John Duke is fiercely investigating as to whether or not it actually exists. "I've asked the Orcs whether or not such a law existed and they are unclear." John Duke said, "They said they will make a law to reverse any such law, since they could not risk losing the land that was in actuality theirs, since it was only rented to me with my payment being undeniable service to them in return. I haven't heard from them in some time but I was left with a very peculiar situation. I am now considered homeless."

Homeless Bob's New Residence (Formerly Snaga Hut)

Homelessness, according to the Orcs, is an act punishable by Death, and one they have enforced very harshly as of late. Unfortunate citizen John Duke has fallen into a cruel joke as he can now be legitimately hunted down and killed as a felon for being homeless. "I have to hide in the shadows, I know Cross MacLeod would love to get some revenge against me, since I MAY have stretched the truth a tad bit in some of the news I sent in," he continued "and with me being homeless I have committed a criminal act, and he would be within the laws to enact justice upon me."

The Orcs have yet to respond to any missive I have sent to them regarding to the situation, but have only publicly stated that John Duke may stay on their front porch in order to get around the homeless criminal act. Yet the law is as written and he is, although protected by the Orcs, homeless.

I will post of the Orcish response, once I am able to get into contact with them for their statements.
