Hi boyos,

First of all, I just wanted to say thanks to the Divine Synod for a
wonderful couple of months. Ol' Gorky kind of reminds me of my
family--at least a little bit.

Second of all, I just wanted to remind everybody about the gold hunt.
Sarrasti found the regular box o'gold, but I have yet to have a novice
claim their winnings yet. It's still out there somewhere. If any
non-novice finds it, please either rebury it or give it to a novice to
be claimed.

Because that offer's still open, I just wanted to warn ye that I will
check in a few days from now, but after that I'm gonna take some deep
meditation time in the forests for a while--probably about a year, and I
won't likely be reached for that time. If ye claim the prize, please
mail it to me and I'll make sure ye are rewarded when I get back.

Hope to see many bards when I come back from my meditations.


Penned by my hand on the 14th of Urlachmar, in the year 159 CE.
