[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 4467135, member: 11520"] [b]The missive...[/b] The letter is marked on the outside in common in a precise angular script. The ink is blood red on flesh colored heavy paper with a high rag content. The text on the outside is each of your names--Geoffrey, Grurl, H'Roosh, Radoon and Zurrik. The seal is the crown above crossed palm trees seen on the sail of the messenger's boat pressed into black wax. The envelop smells mildly of expensive man's cologne. Breaking the seal reveals a brief message. 'Most noble travelers, I invite you to dine with me this evening. Join me at my home just after sunset for dinner and a hunt. If you do this I will return your crewmen unharmed at first light. If you do not wish the return of your crewmen then I bid you good day and success in your future endeavors. I will add them to my household. However, should you choose to accept my invitation, I can promise you a most engaging evening as well as the return of your men. To secure the release of the crewmen, you must all attend. You are free to bring any weapons or other implements you require to feel comfortable.

I do hope you will choose to act in good faith and come as requested. Simply follow my man's boat home. Yours sincerely, Count Valdimyr Zarovych OOC: Spot checks please [sblock=0 to 20 spot check]The Orc stands silently awaiting you.[/sblock] [sblock=21+ spot check]You make eye contact with the orc and he smiles briefly.
