A few hours later one of the watchmen drops off an official watch report, stating that the three of you (well, Zook Archiwald, Rethlin, and "the bearer of this document") did take or attempt to take the assassin Manticore to justice for crimes against The Thrones and Peoples of Breland, Thrane, and Aundair.
In taking the aforesaid Manticore, that individual was caused to die in the course of his taking....etc, etc, signed by our hand and virtue of our authority from the king...etc, etc.
By order of the Crown, these individuals are entitled to the following payments.
1500 golden galifars for seventeen counts of murder in the land of Breland
500 golden galifars from House Sivis for 8 counts of armed robbery
750 golden galifars from the Kingdom of Aundair for 3 counts of kidnapping and foul murder
250 golden galifars from the Prelacy of Thrane for 12 counts of trespass in sacred demesne
The Sivis booth runs 24 hours at the train station, but they could only give you letters of credit. For real gold, you'll have to get back to Sharn.
Happily, a triplet of inside tickets for tomorrow morning's mail coach is under the watch report. You'll be back at the Tower's Shard in time for lunch tomorrow a little richer and more experienced, even if your adventure never makes the papers.
Zook, Veyk, and Rethlin each gain 1500 xp.
In the morning Zook's library book is on a table by the window.
Is everybody keeping mum, or does Zook want to bet the government can't stop the signal?
