Dwarves
"Very well then, it seems that all is well for now, let us see about our duties and start the day." Michael says. As the party breaks up Michael will motion to Nicholas ""Something is afoot here, care to nose about a bit and find out the local gossip and anything you can about Clan McKay"
Michael will then return to his cabin where he will pen the following letters.
24th day of Sunstime
Aboard the Retribution
Port of Odessipolis
To: The Honorable Chieftian of Clan McKay
Odessipolis
Dear Sir,
It is in the hope of settling a difficult matter without bloodshed that I take pen and hand and write to you. On the 23 day of Sunstime, several of your younger nobles became involved in trading insults and tauts with members of my crew. Coming upon the scene I saw two groups reaching for weapons and in an attempt to avoid bloodshed, startled them and then orderd my crew to return to the ship. It should be pointed out the at the time the insults started, my crew was in the process of removing construction debris from my ship and were unarmed. As my crew responded to my orders, I found myself drawn into a war of words with your young nobles. To be frank I should have handled the situation better, but I will confess to being tired, annoyed and somewhat put out by the general attitude and bearing of the young dwarves. Needless to say things more or less distingerated and in an attempt to avoid shedding their blood, I made my onboard my ship. At this point your young nobles begin shouting about duels, and cowardice and all sorts of unpleaseantries and I was sore tempted not to deal with them then in there. It was also at this point that they involved the city watch by leveling charges of harboring dangerous creatures when in fact they are members of my crew and have served me with honor and obiedience since they became associated with me. While distressing and annoying I am not concerned about the charges of cowardice etc as the fact that I boarded my ship and did not sail, etc could tie up the charge of leaving dwarven soil for years in the courts and make the young nobles more or less a laughstock of the community. Though i would prefer to avoid this. The most serious matter is their desire for a duel over something as small as bad timing and lost tempers. To be blunt, I do not wish to duel with your young lords, but if I have to I will. Having faced and defeated an Ice Litch and servaral darker foes, I do not fear your young lords but fear I may have to shed blood over something that should have been avoided in the first place had common sense prevailed. I ask that you consider a meeting so that we may come to terms and deal with this issure before it progresses to that point.
Sincerely
M. Storm
