A letter is sealed in the barracks for the Captain Hoagie and Commander Keres..

[Jassi Cowin]

Commander,

Just recently I was kidnapped by what you said could have been Drow, I firmly believe this. I was in the town on patrol and I saw a beautiful female elf or wished for a escort to Makoto, when we arrived I was ambushed, beaten, blind-folded and taken hostage, I was blind-folded the entire time.. I was taken somewhere, I am not sure, but there were two females the whole time who were beating me and torturing me for amusement and mostly to get answers they already knew the questions to, they mostly wanted to know what it would take to invade Cove and take control of it and what our military strength was, they were also asking if we were allied with the Yewish or Trinsic..

I gave them all the answers I knew, which was I don't know and that our military strength is the most powerful in Britannia.. They tried to kill me several times and held a dagger to my man-hood, I was stripped down naked and my hands were bound together to a collar around my neck with wire..

They gave me a message for Hoagie and Hoagie alone, otherwise they would kill my brother who lives in Vesper, I believe he can take care of himself, however.. The message is that Vesper is going to invade and control Minoc and that if we and our allies did not stay out of it, then Elaine O'Connor and Gabriel would invade Cove, they spoke very highly of them and they seem to be allied from what I could hear.

If this is true then I would make a suggestion and hold off on any attempt to re-capture Rhett and Trent, they are merely a distraction for the real threat, Elaine and Gabriel, who have been in Cove quite often, if they really are looking to invade Cove, it means that they have been infiltrating it without us knowing. And if they are in league with the Drow, then we have a even bigger problem..
