Dear Mr. Councillor Genevis Ward sir,

This is Quadra Pirillithis. I'm not certain if you remember me or not, but I'm writing on behalf of *something crossed out repeatedly here* myself in regards to your gladiator games. I am interested in participating in your games as a combatant (for the time being). Please let me know what I need to do to get the ball rolling. I can be contacted at the Rock Bottom if you leave a message for Spence.

Hugs and kisses, (heart)(heart)(heart)~Quadra~(heart)(heart)(heart)

P.S. Please enjoy some fresh milk while at the Rock Bottom. It keeps the bones strong and the eyes sharp.

Dear Quadra,

I am glad to hear from you, especially that you will partake in the games! If you wanted to help, the best thing to do is to find someone who would like to sponsor you. Of course, this is not mandatory, as we will be providing sponsors for some of the gladiators, but look at it as a way to, as you say, get the ball rolling and to make a new friend.

The cost for sponsorship is going to be either 450, 500, or 550 depending on the participation, with payouts being 1300, 2100, and 3000 respectively. Fighters in the game will be payed by The Commonwealth, and will technically be temporary employees. Pay is 35 gold per match, and some extra things will be provided- magical toys donated by the Crone for the champions and medical treatment after the matches.

On a more personal note, how are you doing, and what is that rascal Royce gotten himself into now? I haven't seen anyone the past week! Anyways, farewell and I will be sending you further information before the Games. Take care and see you soon.

Until then,

Genevis Ward Councilor of Sanctuary Exec. Dir. of The Commonwealth Physician
