[A missive is left at the Pissing Crone]

Mister Alders,

My apologies for the wretched act that has befallen your family.

My name is Ivandur Reynolt and I would wish to investigate this crime to get to the bottom of it and to have the killer face justice. I read that you offer coin. I ask for none. I simply ask that you would meet with me and cooperate with me so that I might begin my work on this case. Though your cooperation isn't needed for me to start, it would likely save a fair deal of time, but I will not force you to recall such painful memories.

Think on it, if not, I will procede without.

Sincerely,

Ivandur Reynolt
