Witchhunter Artimer,
I trust the contract with Trynvas goes smoothly. Once you certify the ruins as safe from any aberrations, undead, fiends, etc... please inform the client that the payment of 350 gold pieces is due within 30 days of the contract's completion date.
More importantly, we just negotiated a substantial contract with the Order of Autumn. I want you to take lead on this one; effective now, I'm granting you the temporary rank of Sergeant.
The contract requires that you eliminate a powerful hag who took up residence in an abandoned tower. The Order discovered the hag's presence after it slew soldiers searching the old wizard's tower for forbidden writings. Take any time you need to prepare for this job.
Two tendays from now, several of our newer members will complete their assignments and return to New Dunwich. Select one of them to report to you and arrange a meeting place.
If the contract goes well, consider the rank permanent. Your cut for eliminating the hag will be substantial: 750 gp.
May your strategy be sound,
- General Cambert
