To all those it may concern The 7th of January, 274
To all the good people of and visiting Pack Bloodmoon and Clan Nightriver, I have something to inform you of.
On the 14th of December, myself and my good friend Drake Carrion, were attacked and nearly ended by the Aldorian Vincenzo Bortelli.
We spent the day around him. We’d gone on a patrol around the area with him and a few others. On the way back in from a small excursion, Vincenzo asked if myself and Drake (he wasn’t with me at the time) would be willing to guard him as he looked for mushrooms, for a silver each. When we returned to the village, I confirmed with my friend he wanted to do this, and we set out.
We passed two men, one wearing the Order’s seal as we went out. After walking for a while, Vincenzo cast a sort of magic, pushing Drake and I away from him. As I was standing, he cast another spell, this time that stunned me a bit. He knocked me to the ground, and I watched as he stabbed Drake four times with the daggers he had been hiding. As he came over to me, the knives fell again. After the blades pierced me, all went black.
I came to in the village I had been in not that long ago. All my silver was missing from my coin purse. I was told that some scouts of the pack had found us, nearly dead, and taken us back to the village where a healer had saved our lives.
I also learned that a note had been left on our bodies. A note reading “Jericho sends its regards”.
I know not the meaning of this message, so don’t ask me. I ask that anyone willing help me find this Bortelli man, and bring him to justice.
Last I saw him, Vincenzo was wearing a dark blue cloak; a light brown scarf; a white tunic; black pants; somewhat elaborate black boots; facepaint somewhat reminiscent of that worn by the Penitent of Faedrun (or so I’ve heard); dark brown hair about down to his shoulders; and a short beard of the same color.
Luck be with you all,
Robert Shet
