The morning after their day of rest, Bayar, Jan and Libros are summoned once again to see the Steward. Once again, he takes them through to the Chancellor's study to meet the Chancellor himself.
The Chancellor is is at his desk. Before him are three letters, each one with a different name written on the front, and a leather scroll case.
"I hope that you have recovered from you recent endeavours," he begins without preamble. The Chancellor is not a man to beat around the bush in your experience. "For I have another task for you. Again you will be travelling, but this time a little further afield.
"Firstly you are to take this scroll case and deliver it along with this letter to Herr Borne in the capitol. The Steward of the Baron's house in the capitol will be able to provide you with directions once you get there.
"Once you have completed that task, you are to proceed to Gate Pass City in the land of Russ. There you will seek out Master Peppin Tallman. This letter will provide you with an introduction. Master Tallman is a member of the Lyceum, and should be able to provide you with a letter of introduction to the Master of the Lyceum, which is located in the south of Russ. It is to the Master of the Lyceum, a Master called Simeon Gohanach, that you are to deliver this third letter.
The Chancellor pauses for a moment, leaning back in his chair and staring into the fire.
"You have not been in my service for long. However, I was impressed with how you handled the last task I gave you. You showed initiative in agreeing to help Herr Henri, as well as some courage and ability in succeeding. If I wanted simple messengers, I could hire them by the dozen. The Baron wanted to send his own men on this task. We discussed the matter at length yesterday. I convinced him that having started this, it would be better that you go instead. Your first hand experience of events so far may come in useful. That said, the Baron will likely be having a couple of his own people join you.
"You will depart as soon as you are ready. Herr Steward will see to ensuring that you have appropriate supplies for the journey. Are there any questions?"
