HEROIC REALMS

At midday, Artha heads again up to the manor house, two letters in his hands and another in his pouch. The one in his pouch is Hanz' request to the Silver Hand, though that he's planning to pass on to Stark rather than trust the mail. The other two, however, are another copy of the letter to his master in Trillidor (identical to the one he sent last moon), while the other is addressed to Alkanahl as well, but contains a different letter, as well as "Important Information" written in large letters on the back. Artha knocks on the door to the Manor house, waiting for the guard to answer.

Orogom comes strolling up the path to the Manor House and sees Artha. "Hey!" He hails his friend. "Anybody home yet?"

"Not yet." Replies Artha. "What brings you up here? Catering a party and didn't invite me?"

The door to the manor house opens, and Hanz steps out. "Oh hello. Good news, seems that his lordship is recovering quite nicely. Also, the Manor house has a large contingent of new guards. Things seem to be returning to some aspect of normalcy up here."

Orogom was about to reply to Artha when Hanz stepped out. "Ah, well, have they paid you yet, or must I still do it from the tavern funds?"

"Nope, no payment at this time, but maybe by the end off the moon, hold onto your money." Replies Hanz.

Before the door closes behind Hanz exiting the manor house, a voice of a man bellows out to you. You there, state your business!

Artha nods to the man. "I have letters to be sent to Trillidor, if mail will be going that way anytime soon."

Orogom looks into the doorway and responds, "I need to speak to Quintaras or Lord Elecsirt regarding Stronghold finances in recent history."

Yes, mail will be delivered. We are sending a messenger to Trillidor...with a guardsmen for escort of course! Orogom, please come in and speak with Quintaras; he is here now. (send PM)

"Alright, here." Artha hands over the two letters. "And I'd like to speak to sir Quintaras as well, though I can wait until after Orogom's business is finished."

Sure, right this way. As you are led further into the manor house you see Orogom exit a room as well as Quintaras...oh, hello. Another who seeks counsel? I remember you...Artha right? Please come on in for a moment. Quintaras re-enters the room...please close the door behind you. How can I help you Artha? (OOG: Please send PM)
