Humphrey the goblin is seen delivering two sealed messages to a Shadow Tribe kobold near the statue of the shadow dragon, asking that they be given to Baldev Cole.
The first letter reads:
Lord Cole
Half the amount will be needed to start the order. But maybe we can discuss an alternative means of payment other than coin. The messenger that bears this letter can bring me your reply.
The second letter is in a handwriting differing from the one used in the first, and reads:
Answer can be left to Humphrey in goblin town, who will take it to the proper recipient. Another deal needs also be discussed; you are welcome to the Stew Place to do so.
