Subject: New Daily Grind Shrjine: Fortune Grind

Jjertrude opened a new shrjine at the Daily Grind. She calls it "Fortune Grind", which means she threw down a giant wheel and is now taunting all stonegrinders to see if the Old Gods favor them. She said, and I quote, "hit the wheel and deal with the consequences of your decisions".

Go check it out, I think Jjertrude might be lonely. Just don't tell her I said that.

Get back on the Mountain!
