This letter has been sealed with wax, the imprint of what is perhaps a large screw firmly pressed down into the wax

Dear Honorable and Most Gracious Sirs,

Greetings!

Having recently escaped from slavery and stumbled upon Sanctuary in all its twilight glory, I was twice delighted to discover your very fine tower protected by a very fine animatron. As a group of (as I understand) humans, I perfectly understand that the intricacies of designing and successfully maintaining the the animatrons designed by my deeper-born cousins may be for you a task of considerable difficulty. I have been reliably informed that your Order struggles to maintain these constructs in full working order, and it is in the interests of Sanctuary's greater safety that I write this letter.

I am something of an engineer, blessed by the Bringer of Wonders Gond in matters of innovation and invention, and a capable designer of all things mechanical and magical. I should very much wish to be granted access to your laboratories and machine rooms, to be allowed to review your texts and schematics, and to learn what is already available about the design of the animatrons of Dunwarren. In exchange, I would gladly assist you with whatever I may be able to deduce or with time construct.

Fondly yours, with great enthusiasm,

Jory Mendlegnack

*a slightly grinning Delgado copies the note and leaves the copy on Dhimani's desk*

With a loud bang, Animator Dhimani's desk explodes into tiny shards as a large malfunctioning animatron speeds through the lab, trips over a loose book, and flies straight into the desk's zurkhwood frame. Animator Dhimani rushes into the room moments afterward, cursing furiously and waving a brass wand with his left hand. The azure lights within the animatron dim as its whirring machinery slows down to a soft buzz. With that accomplished, the frustrated Animator begins grumbling and picking up the scattered pieces of paper on the floor.

Jory Mendlegnack,

If you want to join the Spellguard, talk with Officer Barkely or one of the Agents. We've also got a bounty on animatron components that I bet you'd be happy to look into -- check around the Dunwarren ruins, they're everywhere. If you find anything interesting let us know.

Upper floors of the labs are open to the public. Stairs down on your left when you enter the Tower.

- Animator Basian Dhimani
