Esteemed members of the Watch

If Shane is elected for council, I will gladily nominate myself as his bodyguard. I would gladly give my life for his and if necessary I will.

I myself am a relatively new arrival to your town *something is crossed out and town is written in its stead* and I was until recently a member of Impiltur's armed forces as well as a candidate for joining the Most Holy Order of the Sacred Shrike.

I may be reached at the Rock Bottom in town should you have desire to contact me

Miss Merdcadier

I am very glad you have informed us reguarding this intention. I would like to speak with you further about your bodyguard request, although the councillors do not have to take people which have been sanctified "capable and clean" by the Watch and Spellguard, it is recommended. I would at least like to speak with you reguarding this.

Sergeant Marshall
