Ceou's "Empty" Journal, "Curious Watch, and a new leader"

I know it is none of my business to care what the watch is up to - three of them witnessed me dump a man headfirst into a keg of ale, push him in down to where only his feet remained in sight, and then knock the barrel over! They not only overlooked it, but watchman Odall said for them to ignore it! It either implies that they really don't like Jerry, or someone amongst our men is, unknown to myself, paying off the guards. I will be keeping my eyes and ears open for this, just in case something strange is in the works. . . On another note, I have taken on a much better sounding title then 'second in command' I am Ceou Leodent, Matriarch of the Brigands of Bree. Since Blackbent has very unfortunately gone missing, and left me with all the responsibility of running a disorganized lot of scoundrels, I figure I can at least take on a fitting title. Blackbent ran things like a free-share commune, where everyone had to split their profit with everyone else. I run it much more like the group of rebels they are - we have each other's back, we don't steal from one another, and we do not have to share our 'earnings' if we do not wish, it is that simple. I leave the morals up to the individual, not a set of rules. . . Juhryhu made me an axe, and gave it to me today. It is the most twisted looking killing device o have ever seen. It goes well with the armor I purchased recently! Shiny and threatening. Also, a girl.. Ashenne, I think her name was, came to me today. She told me she was working under Blackbent, and that she had for a long time. It didn't seem like it was willing. You do not make someone a brigand, and force them to steal if they do not wish. If Blackbent comes back to Bree-land, he's going to have an earful from me. And furthermore-! Forget it, I am tired. Very long day of Jerry dunking, axe catching, and brigand plotting.
