: I am a wizard working in the employ of Magistrate Zerrah. I have reason to believe there is an enemy agent masquerading as one of your guards.
: Meet me on the night of March 5th an hour after Sundown by the copse of three threes on the south side of the Western Road. Bring only your most trusted men.
: I have included Magistrate Zerrah banner as proof my authority, please bring this back with you.
