Even my friend [[Lord Adolf Valleysworth|Lord Valleysworth]], who has an aptitude for such topics, doesn’t recommend studying them so long as to avoid any ill effects. It does not reflect well on a man of Sol to obsess about such topics for petty gains. Be a good servant and copy the contents of the letter to send to my friends [[The Old Baron|Baron Mallazart]], [[Baron Johnas Uthrak de Diamantine|Baron Uthrak]], [[Lord Adolf Valleysworth|Lord Valleysworth]], and [[Gunter Weiss|Dr. Weiss]]. > >Dear friends, > >I write this on my deathbed, as my assistants prepare my resting place deep within the abbey. We were successful! Partially, at least... > >The army camped in the marsh and declared their intentions to kill the dragon aloud. [[Neblimarenth]] took the bait and left [[Fort Flagpost]] unprotected to confront us, allowing the infiltration squad to enter the dungeon beneath the fort, into the dragon's hoard. Only one man survived, bringing back the [[Shield of Sir Sebastian Brown|Holy Shield of Sir Sebastian Brown]]. He looked pale, lost a lot of blood, and was absolutely delirious, saying that [[Sir Sebastian Brown|Sir Brown]] himself slaughtered his party. The blade must still be there! If only we had a larger army to defeat the dragon and take back the [[Fort Flagpost|Fort]]... My domains are now defenseless. We should employ necromancy to raise an army to quell those rebellious fanatic followers of [[Saint Malcolm the Sharer|Saint Malcolm]]. > >The dragon's acid has taken my legs and an arm. Only through strong prayers to our [[Saint Lucius the Purifier|Saint Lucius]] that I remain here for a little longer, making preparations for my return. This has cost me my life and my men, but it was all worth it, as the Shield is ours and we confirmed that the dragon has [[Holy Blade of Sir Sebastian Brown|Sir Brown's Holy Blade]]. If we retrieve it, we will finally control the Machete and achieve the ultimate victory! > >Hail [[Sol]] and Glory to the [[Vile King Lucius IV|Eternal Emperor]]! > >[[Baron Carlos Moreno de Lake Hope]] ## Additional Information * [[Session 43 - Enjoy your Death]]: Found plenty of copies on the floor.
