<Eyrick closes his office door and nails a letter onto the door. Then he shoulders a large bag and heads towards the wharves. He nods and waves sadly to those who recognize him as he passes.> You appraoch and read:

Greetings to all,

I've enjoyed my time monitoring these boards and appreciate the good manners and few flames of our posters. However I must now take an extended vacation to my homeland of Emal. I leave you in the good hands of the Premie Guru's and my fellow monitors. My desk remains as does the brass bowl and I hope to return soon or long before then if possible. Please post as politely as normal so when I return the bowl isn't overflowing with ashes. I may stop by at times but don't expect to see many letters.

Until then, post well but not too often!

Eyrick of Emal
DR Board Monitor - on Leave

P.s. Please DON'T REPLY here but you may in the response folder It'd be a bad omen for my voyage.
