[a half piece of parchment written in concise, short sentences with small lettering]

Greetings sir,

I wish to discuss and learn about the areas surrounding the lizardmen city located across the Dark Lake. It is my understanding that your unique experiences both within their city and around it are quite knowledgeable, just short of asking a lizardman itself.

Also, I understand you are running for council and would like offer my services in, even if it may be a bit late. Your platform is very interesting.

PS - A return letter to the Crone would be most convenient

Signed, Azen
