Player Handout 1

Fellow countryman,
Some time ago, through the assistance of trusted agents, I acquired a quantity of blast powder, to be used strictly for the defense of our people. This blast powder has now been stolen. The circumstances of the theft are such that I cannot trust my normal sources of information.

I must therefore beseech you to come to my aid, speaking as one Myrantian to another. Please meet me at the Veil of Shu at sunup tomorrow. You will, of course, be well compensated for your time, although I know such matters are of little import to you when compared to the well-being of our people.

I trust my fellow Myrantians with the secret of our blast powder stores, but it would be very unfortunate
should those who are untrustworthy learn of them. I know I can trust you to not reveal the precise nature of
the theft or any of the other circumstances that I will disclose to you at our meeting.
