Shadow Master,

One of my two Conjure Prestige spells worked, as you hopefully have seen.  I am happy to do another this turn.  Just let me know how much credit I will have after this month (45,000, or 60,000, or some number in between, perhaps 52,500 if you want to set the number at 17,500 per spell).

For my AIDS agent, please attempt an early kidnap on the TR Duke RU located at PG.  If you could confirm this, I would be grateful.

Finally, in light of the absurd Dwarves. I will do his offer one better by proposing 45,000 gold for the Dwarven King, dead or alive.

Best,

Damn it - both you and the Ancient Ones are really going to make me do math, aren't you?  I'll give you an accounting as soon as I am able.  I would note that I did not intend to agree to provide credit for a Conjure Prestige spell that failed to work - especially considering that I have no way of independently verifying that the failed spell was actually attempted.  It's not that I necessarily think you would lie (you aren't me), but trusting someone upsets my digestion something fierce.  Perhaps we should forgo further attempts for now.

The early kidnap attempt will be made.

Consider a bounty of 45,000 gold placed on the Dwarven King.

Agent of Chaos

I would be more than happy to contribute 10k for the removal of the Dwarven king just so I feel like I'm contributing. Can pay more, if needed, to exceed any counter offer.

How much would it cost to get a recon report of the DW and DA capitals? Or at least locations?

Shadow Master,

If you check the correspondence, you will actually see that we did agree to a cost "per casting" and not per successful casting. Given that a Power-6 Wizard could generate 12,000 gold minimum, it would not make sense to set the price any lower than that, and since I assume influence in excess of the normal maximum for a King's order does have some value to you, that is why we have been debating between 15,000 and 20,000 per casting.

As for honesty, for a naturally suspicious one such as yourself, I will be happy to make a special offer to you so that you can verify my claims after peace falls upon the land once more. Does that sound fair?

Best,
Bottlenose

Big Chief,

Do you have the location of the AN main group? Also, what are your intentions regarding Viperhead? If you're not able to take it, I'd suggest we invite the Black Dragon or Elf to take the city.

Master of Shadows,

You've acknowledged the bounty on me, but I haven't heard back from you on the bounties I've placed on the other kings - $40k for GN, AN, WA. (I'll drop the WI from the previous list.)

Mighty King Oban. Me tell troll troops to take Viperhead but too many of them scared of magic fire. I kill some to try and make them fear me more, but they not want to get on boats to go fight mage. Send ravens to Elf and Black Dragon and invite them to the roast. This now big war so nobody can say we gang up on dark one.
Me not know where old man army is yet.

Noble Bottlenose,

We did not capture his slippery agent.   We Domed KF and can report the TR capital has moved but do not know the new location.   

On the regional reaction front the TR and EL are confirmed Hostile and the DW was lowered one level.   I know the EL is not our enemy but just being careful.

2TR army group is at my village SE.   I will dome this turn.  But wanted to warn you as he could be heading south.
1TR army is on my reaction reports but I do not know the location.

I will plan to take the town this turn and move to a village.  Any preference please let me know from my groups location.

You Ally the Council

My Friends,

For your reference, here is the list of emissaries that were present at the former Troll capital as of two and three months ago.

TR King Big Chief No Fart Eerie Awaiting further orders.
TR Envoy Googanor Bloodshot Eerie Awaiting further orders.
TR Agent 4 Crushers Of Urg Eerie Was assigned to a recon mission of ??.
TR Agent 1 SNEAKY SNAKE Eerie Was assigned to a recon mission of ??.
TR Priestess TUNA TWAT Eerie Awaiting further orders.

Please take the village four east and two south of the reference point we used LAST month, as it appeared to be unknown to certain third parties. With the village you took from me this past month, the town you're taking from me this month, and the village next month, that should suffice for control, yes?

Two other things, first, I assume if you're taking the town that your group is outside of right now, you won't mind if I move on the former Troll capital? Second, we would be glad indeed to welcome your Consul in Runnimede at his earliest convenience.

Best,
Bottlenose

Greetings Brother-in-Arms,

War rages all around us.  I know you are engaged with the nefarious trolls, but do you have any spare resources to aid in my conflict with the Warlock or Giant? I suspect the Giant is imminently about to attack me as well since he has been saber rattling for some time and continues to take actions against me.

~LS

RA -> DW


Hail friend!

I trust your battle with the most treacherous Warlock is going well.  He has been attacking me with an eye to expanding into my region along with his puppet, the Giants.  I hope to aid you in your war by relieving any potential pressure that the Giants may be exerting on you.  If you see opportunity to help in any conflict with the Giant, I would be delighted.

Yours truly,
~LS

RA -> BL


Dearest Draconic Overlord,

I know your might knows no bounds.  I entreat with you to consider joining my just cause to seek justice against the Warlock and Giant.  They have been sapping my resources for many months.  I know that with you and I together on this noble endeavor, we could make short work of these scoundrels.  You would then have space for your majestic dragons to soar.  It really would be my first desire for you to join me as my liege lord.  However, if you do not wish to join my crusade, I ask that you at least remain neutral as I am your loyal vassal.  Let us see who amongst your vassals are the stronger to better serve you.

Humbly,
~Lord Lothaedus, First Ranger

RA -> DA

Dear Friend,

I hope you fare well in your undertakings.  It turns out the Warlock and Giant continue to be most treacherous.  They continue to sap my resources and harass me with their sorcerous powers and assassinations.  My people are demanding that in one way or another we stop their evil ways.  Let us join forces and crush this evil before it goes any further.  I propose that you take what you can from the Giant from row "R" and above and I target row "S" and below.

To this noble cause, I have asked for aid from my other blood brother, the Gnomes.  I hope that they are not too bogged down in their battle with fiendish trolls that they might be able to offer some assistance. I have also beseeched the mighty Black Dragon to our cause as he knows I am his loyal ally.  I fear that if he joins the evil Warlock and Giant, then all of the east will be bogged down in war that ends up going nowhere and ultimately serves to be all our dooms.  But should he join us, it could usher in a period of greatness for all involved in this holy crusade.

Best,
~LS

Mighty Lord of the Woods,

Some time has passed since our last correspondence.  You have been quiet of late and I trust you have been building forces.  Of all the cultures in this realm, perhaps that of yours and mine are most in alignment.  I ask that you now break from your solitude and join me in eradicating this land of the evil that infects the middle of the continent.

Please, make haste and join the conflict before it is too late.  As I'm sure you may be aware of, there is a portal that links our two great realms.  If you could send a glorious Elven host south to engage the Giants, the glorious stores or your exploits would be told for all time.  Meanwhile, your emissaries are likely within reach of the Warlock and Giant holdings (you would of course want to coordinate with Dwarves as to which PC's to target of the WA and the DA to coordinate which PC's of the GI to target).

I trust you see the wisdom in this endeavor.  Evil left to fester will soon spread to all corners of this realm.

Sincerest Wishes,
~Lord Lothaedus Swordhand, First Ranger
