[QUOTE="Mithral·Dragon, post: 5048953, member: 57696"] [b]The Parchment and the Vellum[/b] The slip of vellum the girl, Ally, was sent to deliver contained text in a flowing script. The lettering was golden against the creamy white surface. Whomever had penned the missive was undoubtedly well learned. Moreover, vellum like this was neither cheap nor easy to come by. It read: [I]There has been a disturbance at the Aerie of the Griffons. The Watch has not been notified and the Guard have been alerted of your impending presence. Please return with this Tout to expedite assistance. ~ Senechal Laea'lianna[/I] A known name among the who's who of Waterdhavians, the Senechal serves as the warden for the Aerie which houses a number of Griffons.

Meanwhile, the parchment was reviewed as the portents of the vellum were considered. Far from the same quality, the words scrawled on it were marked by blotted and wiped ink.
