It’s tough to read the whole thing, because of some abbreviations, but I’ll try:Hail Lord Hert,We have the place for the ritual set only need a couple more items to call forth Theta’s divine Danse Macabre. This city will whirl in the ecstasy of his embrace.When you reach Hemm. Come to the second wharf and journey on to Mssr. L’s Warehouse #11. Everything is in place, but hurry, the Inquisitors will be on our trail soon!The ritual must be completed quickly to bring forth the Great Plague.Yours in the Danse,HMThat’s it I’m afraid.”“Isn’t that lovely,” Bridget began, “Someone is planning to unleash the plague on Hemmerschneg.”“I think it’s safe to assume we know one person who will miss the party,” Johann commented pointing at Hert’s corpse. “What do you ruffians know of this?” Johann asked his recently acquired prisoners. They all shook their heads to confess their ignorance.“The Inquisitor Praketon will be able to advise us in this matter. We should head back to the watch tower with the one bounty hunter and his friend’s remains. Perhaps he can give us some insight as to how this all comes together,” Shannon commented.“What of Grislik?” Scapa inquired.“Where? Where?” Johann answered in mock fear, jerking his head from one side to the next.“I mean are we going to go back for him?” Scapa asked again.“You’re the kind of man that would paint the backside of a burning barn aren’t you Scapa?” Johann asked.“No, but I would be concerned about the burning side. I am just saying we all agreed the man is evil. He is in league, er was in league with Frendais Hert, and he may some information about this whole plague thing.”“We have three prisoners and a wounded bounty hunter I’m not sure we’re up for an epic fight,” Johann replied. “At least let us rest a while so you may rejuvenate your spells.”“That makes sense,” Scapa answered.…A few hours later the group rose and decided that Grislik was probably long gone, and that they better head out before the humanoids downstairs realized something was amiss.“It seems a bit odd that this lot of evil types, the orcs, grislik, and wizard were not working more closely together,” Bridget mused.“Odd how? Like how four people cannot seem to coordinate their actions in combat,” Scapa asked.“Um yes, something like that,” Bridget answered.The group snuck out of the manor. Their prisoners made no hue and cry on the way out. It was apparent to all they were just as concerned that the humanoids might hear them as the adventurers were. Ratter proved be downright useful on the trip home. He scouted ahead looking for the driest paths and even caught a few hares for the evening’s kettle.The tired group finally struggled out of the swamp and headed towards the watch tower. <img src="http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0601_the_watchtower_th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> <a href="http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0601_the_watchtower.jpg" target="_blank">The adventurers approach the watch tower.</a>Inquisitor Lukas Praketon was most alarmed at the information the group provided him. His men also took custody of the prisoners including Ratter, much to Scapa’s dismay. He pleaded for leniency in Ratter’s case, but was rebuffed by the Inquisitor.Praketon insisted that the group must head back to Hemmerschneg and inquire into this letter they found. He also wrote them a letter of introduction to Lord Inquisitor Helfrich Manstead. The group agreed to investigate it further, or at least to report to the Halls of Justice at the Temple to Hemmerschneg.To be continued…</blockquote>
