He will explain that in order to arrange transport we told himthat we would arrange future trade contracts. He will also mandate thatall trade coming from his manor use Paulson's ship, if at all possible.Next up: Li will sit down and compose a formal letter to Wu Cho:To The Most Honorable Wu Cho, High Knight of Shang Mu, My Esteemed Peerand Bringer of Hope for Lang TaohI regret that I could not respond earlier, I have been assesing thethreat posed by the gnolls in the West. We have lost Felix from ournumberm but saved a goodly number of people from a girzly fate at thehands of the gnolls. The bestial brutality and lack of honor thesegnolls display reminds me all too closely of the yuan-ti of our home. Imust keep in my mind at all times that these are my enemies, andtherefore they will be honored as such, despite their bestial nature.I am sorry to hear that your quest to gather forces has not preceded aswell as it might. I too an finding myself trying to raise a force, sincethe gnoll threat is greater then what the Seekers of Legend may handle.With any luck, if we do succeed in assembling a force to fight thegnolls, I may be able the convince some to stay with us and fightagainst the Yuan-ti. I will inform the people of Greerson of the changein your plans, and I hope that they will give you much support.But you also requested a tale to lighten your heart, and I believe Ihave one you may enjoy. While scouting around the gnolls, the Seekerscame across a large band, well over 100 gnolls, with at least a dozencaptives.We decided we would take action to save the survivors, buttheir amazing numbers gave us little hope. When Tyrm and I moved out totry to put one of our plans into action, we were captured and restrainedwith the rest of the captives. I know this seems dire, hardly a story tolift your spirits, but as I am writing you this letter, be assured itends well. While my friends worked from outside of the camp, Tyrm and Ibroke the strong bonds the gnolls put us in. However, we could not takeany obvious action, for fear of the gnolls around us. Luckily the otherSeekers acted quickly, and set fire to the grass around the camp, givingus the distraction we needed. I used my mental powers to insure that thesleeping gnolls would not awake, and when I was sure that all around uswere no longer a threat, Tyrm and I made our move. In the half light ofthe flames we broke out of the rest of our bonds, freed the othercaptives, and fled into the night. We found the other Seekers and movedon. Indeed we saved every survivor the gnolls captured, and I am happyto say those survivors are now making a living here on my manor. It ishonorable to abstain from boasting of ones own deeds, but I must say, Ifeel a certain amount of pride in my deeds.If I might ask a humble favor of you, Most Honorable servent of ShangMu, would you tell our story to those you meet in Stormhaven? By tellingof our endeavours, and then telling folk that we support you (which Iassure you we do), you may be able to draw more to your cause.Please respond when you recieve this, I would greatly like to stayappraised of your progress.Your Humble Servant,Li Xian Gao, Honorable Samurai in the Right Service of Lord Tannerson ofGreerson</blockquote>
