tucked most of the way under Michael's chambers door with a paw print next to it

hello Michael

This time i know your name and you can get my letter directally. As you know i have served my time in the cells and i am able to walk free once again. There is just one thing that i am still bound too and thats my ban on casting of spells without a licence. I spent the full night reading through the texts that were available for me to read in the Spellguard tower and found many referances to such a licence but could not find any mention of how to obtain one. I truely wish to do the right thing and as such i havent casted any spells inside sanctuary at all despite my urge to do so, *you get the feeling that a faint smile was issued at this moment of the penning of the letter* so my request is, could you organise the arangements for me to gain access to a licence or at the least let me know how i can go about working toward one. Any way i still wish to study under you i believe that we could learn alot from each other given the chance however i have come to understand that you truely are a busy man and i understand fully if you cannot personally tutor me but could you suguest some one in the spellguard that i could learn from. I sincearly wish to show both yourself and the spellguard that i am an asset and not a liability and will be working towards this goal endlessly. Since my last letter i have been practicing my penmenship *upon inspection you notice that the letter is a little neater and easier to decypher than before* and i hope you can tell.

Any way how are you? I didnt get a chance to ask earlier as you were busy gaining a description of a criminal that had been thought to have murdered or at the least been involved in the murders of a few of sanctuary's citizens atleast one of them is one of my friends, Lori. Please if there is anything that i can do to help no matter how small let me know i am more than happy to help.

Please write me back if you dont see me soon. Im currently working for Spencer in the Rockbottom but the best way would be to Wistle, Harunos my familiar has been told that if he hears your wistle than he is to go to you. He will be able to find me no matter where i am. He is a good dog even though he is from the lower planes he is quite loving almost as cheerfull as myself *you feel asthough Tasha was smiling during this section of the letter* and im going to ask Spencer for special permission for him to be allowed to stay in the rockbottom as many of the patrons especially a pair of halflings which are not uncommon for me to work with, enjoy his company one such halfling even wants Harunos to become his pet dispite the fact that Harunos is larger than this halfling by a clear amount. *the image of Tasha giggling cross your mind as you think about it*

Sincerely yours Tasha

A letter is sent to the Rock Bottom Inn, designated for Tasha. It is written in an elegant handwriting. Alturiak the 27th, Year 151, 1373 of Dale Reckoning.

Tasha,

I appreciate your effort to help me. I might require your assistance in the following matter: There has been a bad man in Lower, a very bad man, and the Spellguard wish to punish him for his badness. We suspect he hides in the tunnels beneath Lower Sanctuary alot.

We have secret men walking around in Lower, who will help you with this. They look like disguised Elves, and you need to give them our secret password, before they help you. The password is "I have a blade with the name of Zau on it, the Spellguard sent me for him. Help me, and I will reward you handsomely."

They will lead you to a secret place, and you must follow them. They will tell you what to do there.

The note is unsigned.

*a hastely reply is written on a piece of parchment and is delivered to Michael de la Ray's chamber door*

Michael,

i truely apreciate you giving myself a chance to prove myself, by the time you recieve this note i will probably be down in lower sanctuary. However i am very cautious as to who your sending myself too as the description is very vague and could even be used to describe the dark elf i have been hearing you talk about. i believe his name is mention in the phrase you have instructed me to recite, the one by the name of Zau.

Any way to cut a long letter short, i am on my way.

Sincearly Tasha
