A letter bearing the seals of the Tenth Legion arrives at the Stouthammer Brewery in Port Avanthyr. The missive is addressed to "Brewmaster Murin Stouthammer."

Brewmaster Stouthammer,

Warm greetings to you, my old friend. I hope this note finds you well; long has it been since we have spoken in person.

I wish to commend you on the quality of your Ironedge Ale. As you have likely heard by now, I recently led my Dusk Hounds to victory against Black Hand forces. During the intense mêlée, I had enough time to quaff a sip or two of Ironedge Ale - and the Iron Fist definitely received an edge in the battle!

I would like to place an order for three more Ironedge Ales. Thank you for providing an excellent product.

For the Legion,

Myrios Emiliana Blackwell

It warms my copper to hear such tidings. I've always reckoned the Girls brew all the stronger, when they hear brewdeeds such as those set to measure and pitch. I've a feeling there'll be a particularly good batch brewing shortly.

And I am particularly pleased to hear the Legion is coming to it's senses about such foolish notions as not drinking on duty.

With your fine order of precious ale, I have enough for an outing of the Ale Express. With a likely lad or two on the back, we stand a good chance of punching through to the Gate. Have your lads ready to shoot high when they see the wagon, as those ale-swilling bandit vermin tend to be chasing when I come into view.

I'll invoice you for the expenses. War might be good for business, but not so much when it comes clamoring to your very door.

Yours in Good Ale

I am pleased to report that the Ale Express made it through, delivering your order plus the latest batch of ale for Sundren in good speed. It got a bit dicey in places, and one of the lads was a bit worse for wear at the end. But ale's well when the ale's well, as they say.

I commend one of your Legion warriors for his skilled assistance. I never caught his name in all the excitement.

Your share of the expenses is invoiced below.
