 Friend Nomis,

 

Pray heed this warning!

 

While hart travels east, slip your shadow to the north. Beware the
hollow's sound that but rings in one ear.  Our assassin waits neth the
gamblers roost, and wards thy path against those who intrude!

 

HE Santiago

Your Excellency Santiago,

I have tried to follow the GA army as you requested but was unable to
fullfill your request.  It seems that there is a shortage of horses in
this land and their army is forced to 
ride the goats they love so dear.  The good news is this has slowed
their approach and they should not be in our territory until 3 days from
now.  The bad news is that following 
the GA army is tough on your sense of smell but with the goats added it
has gotten even worse.

Upon inspecting the units I could get close to I can only surmise that
the plan to eat their mounts on the way as they are not packing much
food supplies.  I would once again 
suggest that you move any food merchants into the castle so that this
meager force will "appear" to be laying siege to our fine stone castle
while they search for our food stuffs.

I am having to pass in front of their army due to the smell and I can
only hope that the wind does not change direction.  I will keep within
ear shot of their bleeting...I mean 
singing to track their progress.  Please make little Eric ready at the
bell to warn of the arrival of the enemy if and when they come.  I would
also remind you to keep your eye on 
the "prize" that we have to insure no harm comes its way.  I am worried
that the bleeting that will be heard will send One-Eyed Pam over the
edge and out will come her true feral 
nature.

In trying to avoid anymore goat drop stew I have been forced to consume
some of the last pigeons that I have.  It was hard to part with them
over my long travels these last 
months.  I was able to form a bond with them and named them.  "Arron",
"Adolf", "Ericus" and "Armond" were eaten at the Green Dragon.
"Decimus" and "Eirikr" were eaten last 
night.  I have sent little "Malcolm" to you with this message and I will
save the final fine feathered friend "Nikolai" for my last message
before the storm breaks.  "Nikolai" was 
a hard temptation not to eat due to his stout yet robust features.

In your Service
Nomis of Topaz Key
