A small boy runs through the city streets with a scroll in one hand and a few golden coins in the other. His clothes are dirty and unclean, his hair is a mess and you can see that he has not eaten in some time. Yet, strangely, the smile on his face shows his spirit to be up. He slows to a walk and looks up to the large guard near the Gate of the city and in between breaths, "Scuse me sir." as he takes another breath and holds out the scroll, "I have a letter that needs to be gettin' to yer Duke Eltan." and as he finally finishes his sentence, he stands tall and takes pride in his task having been accomplished.
Not far away, Aiden watches the young boy finish his task and smiles to himself, for, he knew that he could have delivered the message himself, but, he also knew the boy needed the coin more than he at that moment. Aiden began to think that this could easily have been him had Valborg not taken him in those many years ago.
Once Duke Eltan recieves the letter he will find the scroll having been sealed in wax with no special symbol, just a drop of wax upon the scroll to seal it. Should he decide to open it and read it......
Duke Eltan,
I am sending you this message to let you know that your guards are possibly being sized up for an attack upon them. Not long ago, I met a green skinned man that was questioning me about how strong the guard within the city was. I asked his reason for such a question and he advised to me that he wished to "hunt within the city". I did not know what he meant by this. I then advised to him that the forces within the walls of the city were strong enough and would probably enjoy taking care of him should he decide to "hunt within the city." He just laughed at the thought of such and stated that it would be he who would enjoy the encounter as some magical form of lightening sprung from his fingertips. The man did not appear to be Half-Orc in nature, no, he was different. His name that he went by was, One Who Walks. Should you need to talk with me further, I can be found in the Temple of Helm.
I thank you for your attention to this matter and I am sure that it will be dealt with for your Flaming Fist have a reputation for their dedication to duty. I look forward to possibly meeting with you in the future.
Sincerely,
Aiden McBride
