Darling miscreants and mercenaries,
You have stepped too far this time. The College of the Balladeers expects payment for the destruction of property in the Krak laid out by our would-be "bouncers." You have been contracted to keep the peace within the boundaries of our fair castle. You have instead instigated discord and destruction in equal measure.
Five thousand dinars shall make its way into the coffers of the Grandmaster for Kragg Stonefury's removal of Velan Volandis' statue.
This is not a negotiation.

First it's three... Then it was nothing... And now it is Five?
This matter has already been settled by not only a student, but also a Lyrist. If you wish to worship your precious Brooker, it can be done within the College.
I understand that your coffers are pathetic because most of you don't do much, but I won't be extorted by the likes of you, Domergue.

PS. Take it out of the seven thousand that Velan fucked me out of when he put our entire Order at risk, destroying the deal we'd put in place with former Legate, Sol Auk, nearly costing us the lives of Amelie, Lynneth and my dear Lion.
Five thousand dinar for making your public embarrassment more of ruckus than it needed to be. I care little for what Velan did to you or what he owed you. He is dead and I was gone. We speak now of what you owe me. The wrongs you have committed under my watch.
You can bleat to however many Lyrists you want, but I shall remind you: This is not a negotiation.
Five thousand dinar.
