[Royal Guard] Trail's end. Conclusions and bittersweet recriminations.

[Tom Long]

Unto Arms-Sergeant Kirin Arnise

Your report has been filed and information forwarded to the Captain. 
Winter will be bountied at a considerable sum, and I have drafted 
letters to colleagues in Ethcabar and Mysthaven to be on the watch for 
this Hurnatod.

If you are done interrogating the Dretch, you may feel free to issue the 
order for its dispatching and banishment. If possible, a head on a pike 
in the Market Square would not go amiss.

I would not trouble yourself overmuch with the city gates. They are busy 
and loose, and there are myriad ways for a clever wretch to sneak 
through or buy passage on a ship. The Korthai and the Harbour Master are 
notoriously easy to bribe, though the bigger fish they bring in make up 
for the smaller ones they let slip through. As well, I would recommend 
you lighten your brow upon the internal matters discussed. I forwarded 
your suspicions to the Captain, but once word gets out to the rank and 
file and the bounty hunters, no matter how solid, tongues wag and word 
travels fast in the Drache underground - often aided by scrying spells 
and information dealers. Still, the Captain may choose to do as he 
wishes with the evidence presented.

While there are few illegal narcotics in Drache, we were able to charge 
the church gang you arrested through their connection with the demon and 
with the poison. One has offered to hand over information as to an opium 
growing operation in order to save his left hand.* This separate 
investigation has been handed off to an appropriate Arms-Corporal.

I am pleased with the work of your team. I am not familiar with all of 
them, but I understand some of the grunts are too free with their time 
while on duty - this is a solid mark in their favour. Though not 
successful in the apprehension or destruction of your target, the 
diligence shown is a testament. I will inform their individual 
commanders of their efforts, as I shall do to your regular CO, who has 
now unfortunately been taken to a nearby temple with literally explosive 
diarrhea. Terrible matter, that. Probably some sorcery involved.

Me enxenim,

Arms-Lt. Soon Kadmos

*While such narcotics as opium are not illegal in Arangoth, the growing 
of it on native soil is quite illegal. There are very possibly other 
drugs that are prohibited, but they have not been named.
