halfling murder

I hear from my sources that there has been a murder of a halfling in the inn at Bree. Most distasteful. It appears that agents of the northern rising are implicated in what can only be a fumbled fiasco. Entering a public place... killing a halfling. A halfling! The killing of a halfling is as fear-inducing as a pair of children scrumping apples in a neighbours garden. For shame. Killing is the tool of those with little wit for anything else. Useful, but only rarely. However, nothing is wholly wasted; no doubt the bumbling Breelanders' excuse for protection will be valiantly chasing over the countryside to apprehend these foolish knaves. And so my own work will continue safer from prying eyes.
