To Sergeant Durris,
Hi. This letter is from Amolef. Incidentally I am innocent of all the crimes the Tigers accused me of, I am not entirely sure why they are trying to kill me but I have plenty of guesses. I am in fact NOT hiding from them, I’m not afraid of them or their lackeys, frankly, I could kick their asses, well any assassins who came for me in upper anyway, obviously I can’t take out the entirety of the Tigereyes or Valerius’s gang of paid killers.. I am actually hiding from YOU, from the watch and the spellguard because I’m really not willing to fight the law of the city. This is what I propose. Contact Delgado and give him this offer:
"Amolef has contacted me via a third party and wants to let us question him, but he understandably does not want to be imprisoned or go on trial as he maintains he is innocent. He wants you to charm him so you can question him and be certain he is not lying to you. If it turns out he is not lying, we void the warrant on him and clear him of all charges in our jurisdiction. There are a few catches though. He is only willing to do it in the watch house. He wants me(that’s you Durris) there. He also wants a member of the Triad’s clergy, of his own choosing as a witness to ensure we don’t grill him about his entire life, but only what he knows about the Tigers and related matters. He hopes that his willingness to submit to a mind probe ala a charm spell will convince you that he really is innocent. He further goes on to say that the information he knows is worth the hassle and besides the information he posses he would also be willing to testify in court to the crimes committed by individual Tigers, once the warrant is voided on him in upper.
Please contact me at the watchouse with your response, soon.”
This is the offer. If you don’t take me up on it you don’t get to pump me for information, you don’t get my testimony on the Tigers either, I know a great deal which is of immediate value in defense to the city. Incidentally the letter I sent you was ENTIRLY true and after Delgado charms me, you’ll know it. Once I know I can move around upper freely I will testify to the various crimes committed by Tigers that I am aware of or personally witnessed. This is not a short list.. I am hoping my willingness to submit to a mind probe will convince you I REALLY AM INNOCENT. I know you nor the spellguard like to play games and this is probably an affront to your authority but I REALLY AM INNOCENT and I really, really, really don’t want to be tossed into a jail cell. The information I posses is worth the hassles, as is the testimony I can give in court to crimes committed by the Tigers.
If you are willing to extend the offer to Delgado, send a letter to the messenger who delivered this. He’ll get it to me in a few days. If Delgado accepts the offer, send another letter.- Amolef
