As soon as the letter was taken out of his hand, the young man turned and ran out of the shop just as quickly as he came, without saying another word.<br/><br/>While the messenger may not have been interesting at all, the letter sure was.  Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the seal on it was from one of the wealthier merchant houses in the city, House Kassell, which was unusual since the house seemed to completely ignore the guild's existence.  The letter itself read:<br/><br/><em>It has come to my attention that certain members of this city are planning activities that may be detrimental to my continued business.  While I am certain your guild would not care either way what happens to my business, I am also certain that you are in little position to refuse the fairly generous offer I am willing to make for your assistance.  Come to my manor the day after this letter finds you, at the second bell past noon, and show this letter to the guard.  I assure you, this meeting will be well worth your time.<br/><br/>~R.
