CAPTURE</div><div class="spoiler_body">One of the newest requests appears to be a collective effort from some of the prominent merchants of Sandpoint who are offering a reward of 1000 gp to anyone who can provide information leading to the capture of an individual only known as 'Shroud', who appears to be posting up damaging slander on numerous individuals in Sandpoint.  <del>Anyone who can capture and bring this individual in is offered 2000 gp</del>.  This last part has been crossout and noted by sheriff Belor Hemlock to be an illegal request, and that anyone with information should report it only to the the sheriff or one of his deputies, for which the town guard will handle the arrest.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">MISSING CHILD</div><div class="spoiler_body">A local man named Bilivar Wheen, has posted this request in barely legible script.  It seems that his youngest son, Zeek has been missing for a day now, and he's desperate for any help.  There is no mention of payment here.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">SOGGY RIVER MONSTER</div><div class="spoiler_body">A relatively recent request, there appears to be some sort of humanoid monster dwelling in the Brinestump Marsh just south of Sandpoint.  The local sheriff, Belor Hemlock, has offered bounty for killing the creature - 200 gp for proof of its demise, or 250 gp if someone can bring the entire corpse of the creature.</div></div><br/><br/><strong>"Didn't expect to see you here,"</strong>comes a voice at Kaisen's shoulder whilst he's looking over the board, revealing the presence of the young man (https://i.imgur.com/On5GwzN.jpg) Kaisen had just finished servicing that very morning, not half an hour past, who now has a breastplate affixed and a longsword strapped.  He gives Kaisen a head to toe lookover.<strong>"You look... um, different.  In a nice way, I mean."</strong><br/><br/>Clearing his throat, he scrubs his hand through his hair before tightening his sword belt a notch.<strong>"Goblins around here are easy coin if you're careful,"</strong>he grimaces with a nod at the goblin bounty notice as he goes through the motions of checking the string and tension of a light crossbow at his side.<strong>"Best catch them one at a time and by surprise; 30 gold a day, easy.  People tend to laugh at them, but let a group of them catch you alone and it won't be so funny unless you've got a good escape plan."</strong>
