a letter dropped at #12
Mr. Unamed,
There are many issues to discuss in that ever eloquent letter you've sent me.
The reason they came down was due to you, Taine, Battleload and some other ambushing them in the mines.
First and Foremost, I was not present at the attack of your men. Taine and Battleload were acting of personal reasons, reasons unknown to Me or Ledskir's Loan and Lending. Nor am I responsible for the postings of the Bounty. As you can clearly see on the statement, it is from Ledskir Loan and Lending, and clearly not in my handwriting, nor with my usual watermark. I'm afraid your detective skills are as sordid as your business with fish-people.
Secondly,
If they hadn't been ambushed, they wouldn't have come after you and the fight wouldn't have started.
Battleload brought it upon himself. In lower, that alone is grounds for reaction. The fight started because you slaughtered innocent men. Had you just killed the criminals, those who wronged you, rather than innocents, we would not be having this discussion.
Thirdly,
The Stouthearts aren't interested in having Ledskir as an enemy.
We have our own things to deal with, and none concern lower.
You should have thought of that before your greedy men slaughtered 12 innocent people.
If the bounties are removed and anything taken from our mugged Stout returned, i can promise the return of things that belong to you. Two items I have which i know you will really want.
You slaughtered innocent men. Battleload and Taine had anything taken from your returned stout, so perhaps you should speak with The Watch regarding them.
The two items you have, which you "Know I will really want", are likely belongings of Mr. Ledskir. Failure to return them will result in proving to everyone you are little more than money- grubbing- thieves, selling out your services and honor to the highest bidder.
With most of the upper groups after you in particular, and Ledskirs in general i would have thought one less enemy would be a good thing?
Me in Particular? How quaint and humorous. I've done nothing wrong, and am a Law abiding citizen of Upper. The Seekers, The Spellguard, and Even the watch have no qualms with me.
As for "One Less Enemy", It would seem you are eager to end this so called "Feud", because you've "No interest in lower". Again, As I said, you should have thought of such before your men slaughtered 12 innocent men of lower.
Should there be 12 stout-heart heads and cloaks delivered to the Gambling hall, I shall persuade the person who posted it that there is justice, and perhaps the bounty will be canceled.
However, if you still wish to be enemies of the Stouts then so be it. We will add our forces to those mounting against you. But know that we did not want this.
"But know that we did not want this". Who is it you are trying to persuade here, Unknown stranger? The blame is entirely yours for this confict. As previously stated, numerous times, had you not killed innocents and kept your qualms with those who wronged you, we would be having a different conversation.
I'm sure you would have much rather persisted in selling fish-people wears and funding their slavery. How dare we try to stand against you for slaughtering our people. Save your threats, Coward, for a day when you will leave word with your name scribbled so I know who it is I am adressing.
Do have a pleasant day,
-Mr. West
