Dear Mr. Talanger,

My name is Frances Allegretti, Priestess of the Church of Lurue and Professor at the School of War. I have need of your services and I'm willing to compensate you for your time and efforts.

I have two issues I'd like to see answered with, hopefully, a high level of detail. I'm in no rush for either to be answered, so please don't consider this a high priority matter, nor a private one.

Firstly, I'd like to know the whereabouts of Dr. Profidious Vile of Vile Industries, who previously rented property at Rhunyorn Arms. He was a good friend of mine and a business partner for a time, but since my return to the city I've not seen him once. Any details you can get me about his fate would be greatly appreciated.

Secondly, I'd like to know about any worshippers of Lurue that may have lived in the city during it's operation, either lay worshippers or holy men and women. I'd especially like to know about any such people that still live in the city today, and where I would be able to contact them if they do exist.

Please send me a reply at the School of War if you're willing to take on the case, and we can negotiate details of payment, etcetra.

May the Unicorn Queen grant you the blessing of wisdom,

~Prof. Frances Allegretti

Professor Allegretti,

Salutations! I would be pleased to take this case for you. When I was a much younger halfling, I was saved by nothing short of divine intervention from Lurue. A recently slain unicorn was being delivered to a taxidermist in Waterdeep, but agents of a nefarious wizard attempted to steal its horn for a demented experiment. I was passing by and and tripped one of the thugs quite by mistake. The taxidermist was so grateful he gave me four crowns, which allowed me to feed myself for another week!

Ever since, I've figured I owe the Unicorn Queen one. My rates are 100 crowns a day, plus expenses.

Sincerely,

Mieredo Talanger

There are no words to describe exactly how long Frances' jaw hung open before she burned the letter and curled up in a ball.

Professor Allegretti,

I was hoping to find you around Sanctuary, but thus far I have had little luck. Before I begin, I must have documented proof of your willingness to pay me for my services. Here is the standard contract:

Talanger Investigating

I, Frances Allegretti, do hereby swear on Lurlue's majestic horn to pay Mieredo Talanger 100 crowns a day, plus expenses, for his services. For each of the two tasks that have been brought to Mr. Talanger's attention, I will pay 500 crowns upon completion and delivery of the necessary information.

Failure to pay will result in a fine of 500 crowns per week until the bounty is paid.

___Your name here___

Best regards!

Mieredo Talanger

Mr. Talanger,

I thought long and hard about how to say this so you don't misunderstand my intentions, and I think I've found the proper words:

I don't want to pay you because you helped a man who intended to stuff and stitch the holy animal of my faith.

Thank you for your time, -Frances Allegretti
