Thank you again for your offer. I've started seeing how possible and costly your request might be. I'll try and forward some estimates to you as soon as I can.

This envelope contains a map marked with the region around Avanthyr I seek permission to investigate for useful plants such as Mosses and Lichens. Or anything else barely edible the magic of brewing can turn into something suitable for a seige.

If House Meriadoc can spare some troops to scout and guard that can only help ensure success. If successful, this represents work and sustenance for the ordinary folk of Avanthyr.

I hope you have been able to pick up my first letter and map from Noland.

Exact costs are unclear. But the Enclave estimates that there might be about one hundred refugees in Aquor not able to sustain themselves.

A sum of twenty thousand stags would allow me to start procuring clothing, and speed up the tricky job of prodding the valley into producing more food. The total eventual cost would likely be much greater, in particular for food, assuming we can pull it off.

In return you, or a related party of your choice, would be named as the first sponsor.

My first plan is to try sourcing hides and leatherworking skills from itinerant travellers and adventurers direct in small volume contracts. This has the advantage of bypassing the paperwork involved in dealing with head office.

If successful, a similar project for Cheapside is likely.

Erik leaves a return letter with Noland.

Master Stouthammer,

I've spoken personally with Lord Aurelianus and received his approval to work out the details of the ranging with you. He can only offer one or two rangers to assist, and has requested that you only involve dwarves whose character and integrity you can attest to.

As for my personal request, I've enclosed the transfer of funds receipt from my account in the Temple of Waukeen to Stouthammer Breweries'. For first sponsor, please give credits to the Temple of Selūne, as all of my good fortune and wealth comes from her charity.

May Selūne's light ward you in your nights on the surface,

Squire Erik Halfgar
