Nicholas saunters into the Blue Mushroom and spends some time shmoozing and sharing drinks with Drerirry and the svirfneblin traders. He lets her and whoever is interested know that he's got a business proposition for them. A young clan of shield dwarves is in need of rudimentary mining supplies, and willing to pay well for whoever is interested in securing this equipment for them. He hands out several letters of intent and lets them know he'll be back in the Mushroom in a few days to pick up the offers for the consideration of Thane Runehammer.

To Whom it May Concern,

Greetings, my name is Nicholas Balbanes. I represent the Thane of Clan Stoutheart in acquiring mining supplies through the traders of The Blue Mushroom. Clan Stoutheart is a up and coming shield dwarf clan, composed of several successful adventurers.

Clan Stoutheart is in need need of basic mining and prospecting supplies, such as: mining picks, shovels, roof support, wheelbarrows or the like for transportation of ore, and whatever else is neccessary for tunnel exploration and shaft development, for approximately fifteen individuals.

Let us come together for the mutual benefit and continuing business between both parties. All offers my be left for myself, Nicholas Balbanes, with Drerirry Wedriser. I will deliver the offers to Thane Runehammer for consideration.

May Fortune Favor You, Nicholas Balbanes
