Hawk,

I could use the services of a cartographer, particularly if you have surveying talent as well. Some of the areas I would like to see mapped with detail are Lower Sanctuary, the Canal Ward, and the Dark Canal all the way to the Dark Lake. I will pay additionally for a compilation of foes, beasts, and lairs that can be found in and around the Dark Canal. I intend to use the Lower Sanctuary and Canal Ward maps to lay out property lines and establish ownership.

The end result of this all will, I hope, be used in creating a safe route via water for our watercraft to reach the Dark Lake and provide an enormous economic benefit for all of Sanctuary. Please contact me with at the Pissing Crone for a meeting or to leave a price quote.

Painbearer of Lord Ilmater Protector of Lower Sanctuary

Westmore,

I heard some good things about you. Let's meet and discuss. I'll have at least one map to bargain over. In Lower, I assume?

-The Hawk

Yes, I am usually found in Lower Sanctuary, although without any idea as to the cost, I really would request that we take care of negotiations first to save your time. I am not a wealthy man, I'm afraid.

Lucius

[In jerky handwriting] Lucius,

It seems I have been unable to travel by the Dark Canal and the Canal Ward, and thus the making of the maps has been delayed.

However, enclosed with this letter is something you might find useful, perhaps even more so than the map itself. If you truly apreciate the information, I'll expect payment of a hundred and fifty coins ( through my agent, that you assuredly know) and my wishes that you make good use of it. If there are any others who might be interested in my services, let me know as well.

Yours in the interests of freedom,

THE HAWK

The addendum is extraordinarily insightful. Inform our mutual acquaintance that I have two hundred gold in my possession for you. As you continue your good work, I shall continue my own in order to carry out our deal.

Lucius
