Dragon,

Osric is my neighbor. Yes.

What do you need?

BLACKVALE

Dragon,

Your ambition is to be commended, it almost seems divine! Perhaps proof that it rightfully the domain of dragons, wyverns and wyrms. I believe your desires have trickled down to me and I will have you know that they will be fulfilled. I write to you now because I had a spontaneous idea. Recently, I have come in possession of some more trustworthy employees and I aim to set them to work. It seems that promising the foreign states Water Barrels has been politically awkward, so why not... SMUGGLE? That way you can cut any kind of Water-Deal with any kind of Foreign state! Perhaps then you could also ask something in return from Kha'Esh for example, that is also politically awkward... Slaves? Blood-Rubies? Who knows what you can demand from them. Of course you can't have slaves be slaves inside Ephia's Well or something like that, but you throw some Banda Rossa colors on them and have them chase off some Iakmes orcs or catch the first one, two, three volleys of arrows to have the *actually* useful Banda Rossans survive until weapons clash. Maybe their leadership will purchase them off of you. Alternatively, I wouldn't mind purchasing your very cheapest slaves. The most useless ones. Not in bulk.

As you can hear, I am filled with good ideas and would like nothing more than to work together and create opportunities. Let me hear what the Creep can do!

PS: Don't trust Talis until he has proven himself, he is whispering into everyone's ears and has yet to pick his course. If you are not his course, all you will have told him, is in enemy hands.

They have forgotten me.
I have not forgotten them.

I have made them suffer and this will only continue on.
For some, the conclusion comes soon.

Mighty & Esteemed Speaker Red Lips,

My strategy seems to be working. Thus, I would notify there's room to double our efforts.
Assuming our desired results would be bolstered by it.

If yes, let me know and I shall come to collect another.
If no, feel free to ignore this letter in it's totality.

Rajo,

You might have a difficult time believing that I would without trouble play host to weary guests.

Even if only in business, I am certain many guests shall grace this humble abode.

I have no trouble paying you coin, but since you refuse it, next time in the Windblown Camp, I shall pay sizeable tithe.

Let us meet whenever you are able and complete the transaction.


You have my earnest gratitude. I owe you a favor.

NATHANIEL BLACKVALE

Zaheera,

your original quotation of legislation and legal nonsense was very boring.

However, these cards? Brilliant. Had a fantastic laugh.

You wouldn't trust my words- but I have always hated Arjuna.
These cards will be kept in a place of honor in my Real Ephia's Well.

Thanks.

Nathaniel Blackvale

Rajo, good friend,

this is a pressing matter for me.

Please consider the many friends I have in the Creep who wish nothing more than my prosperity.

My offer to you is a fair one.
I don't intent to live in your home, I need the space for storage for my most enterprising and successful stall that will undoubtly have it's coin flow to you, and others of the Creep.

Dragon,

hello Prince-Killer. Join the ranks of the murderers of murderers.
Me, guilty to attempt to subdue Recluta Skatterhawk as she is actively murdering.

You... You will be guilty of killing the Prince.

What will you do about it? Call upon useless allies, sworn to oaths? Boffin?

Pay. Me.

I can clean everything you want.

Blackvale

Dear Zaheera,

Now that more pressing business has passed for me, I had time to rethink what's happened.

Suddenly remembered handing you a 1,000 for drawing a herocard of Arjuna Namahedu based on a sketch I'd never provided.

Either finish it, draw that murderer, or perhaps a lot more sensible, refund me.

You can send whoever to my stall in the real Ephia's Well. A lot of people come below!

Best regards,

Nathaniel Blackvale

The Real Souk of Salt & Spice now announces a temporary, seasonable product:

The Winning election strategy.

For 10,000 per consult at minimum.

Dearest Ashley,

have you ever caught yourself having dark desires?

You've yourself a spider down below.

Dearest Ashley,

bring me power, bring me a new arm, bring me buckets of coin.

Dark desires become reality.

Nathaniel Blackvale

These latest new allies have given me powerful tools to achieve my ends. In return, I am eager and willing to aid them in their dark designs. There's just one thing that irks me.

He treats me the same way Arjuna Namahedu treated me.

And Arjuna Namahedu is now dead.

Once you have given me what I want, I will orchestrate your death and you can join Arjuna in the Hells.

Malik,

I hear of your struggles... It's messy. Need anything cleaned, come find me.

Alternatively, I have a certain device to make one suffer damage to the soul, should you wish especially cruel revenge upon your foes. In which case, drag them to me!

With friendly intent,

Nathaniel Blackvale

D.A.

Got a tip I want you to pursue.

The Tower has some stains they wish cleaned.

We can clean.

Let them know somehow. Via-via, perhaps, to distance yourself.
