“Commander,

we'll leave Ryder's Cove soon, for now just waiting for Lord Xanic's decision where to. The games here have brought us good money, stadium owners shared remarkably well. I suspect they don't want to get into a clinch with the dead. Returning to Graveshade could be a good idea, but it's not urgent. We just have to make sure we are back here and well prepared for the tournament in three weeks.

All my investigations led me into a impasses. I was able to buy us some informants though, that will hopefully provide me with current information when I return.

We also played another training match against the Grandmasters, as commanded by Lord Xanic. It passed relatively uneventful and ended 0-0. However, we were able to find out that Pennimay has developed remarkable passing skills and the rat-man (we continue calling him by his former name, Lynch) is quite good at hurting easy marks. I'll look further into this.
We were actually close to winning, but the vampires once more showed their true skills only in the most desperate situations. It was quite impressive, though I advice Lord Xanic to have a talk with his players about this. It looked like they were holding back, only really showing effort when the game was at stake (I guess they don't like stakes).
If we returned to Graveshade, the High Lord himself could spectate a match and see for himself.

Next time you hear from me, it will either be in person or from a new location, hopefully with more exiting news as well.
