Mail Time!
Got one here for Dark 2 :
Dear Brew Lord,
I just wanted to thank you for identifying the dwarf that was so suddenly possessed recently. If I had to do it myself, it would have taken quite some time, and who knows what he could have gotten up to by then. Now that the praise is out of the way, lets move on to the criticisms. While having this interloper followed about was a good idea, it was very foolish to openly tell him about it. Now I know you don't have the experience your namesake had with these matters, but they require a degree of subtlety. I had hoped you would have possessed some, but it seems you have failed to live up to your predecessor here, as well as in other areas that aren't relevant to the matter at hand. I suggest you leave this sort of thing to me or the inquisition, as we have more experience with supernatural matters. I know you to be a good brewer, and you show potential in leading your order against more mundane threats, so perhaps focus on that and leave this type of thing to the professionals.
Sincerely, D.
Got another one here, this one for Mate888:
Dear High Inquisitor,
As you have no doubt been made aware of, a dwarf was recently possessed by a spirit identifying itself as Dan Pedro. I have reason to believe this is no ordinary spirit, and could prove a blessing or a curse, depending on it's intentions. I haven't any information on what that intent may be, so I would recommend biding your time for the moment. I don't think that your organization has fully recovered from your clashes with the MechaTechno, and a wrong move here could prove disastrous for you. On that note, I would take it as a personal favour if you were to cease this pointless aggression towards the MechaTechno. They harbor no ill-will towards this fort, and shall prove very beneficial in the future. Besides, I have a certain amount of influence with their leader, and will be more than able to keep them from causing any serious trouble, though they won't leave you alone if you don't provide them with the same courtesy. I will pass on any information regarding Dan Pedro as it becomes available. If you need to get word to me, give my man Kronk a letter to pass on to me. I suggest being careful with who you trust to pass the letter on to him, if anyone. We don't know what Dan Pedro is capable of, and he could well use foul magic to subvert your comrades.
From, Your Cousin.
Yet another letter, this time for our beloved Prime Minister:
Dear Prime Minister Smunstu:
I just wanted to congratulate you on your very successful term as leader of this fortress. Who would have thought that you would have come so far when your entrance to this fort was in a cage, and your first bedroom the archery range. On that note, I would like to apologize to you for how my eldest brother had treated you. He was a total ass, so full of himself and his dreams of power. At any rate, I also wanted to thank you for all you've done for this fort during your term, not only as a citizen of this fort, but also as a member of my family. We have a vested interest in this fort, as we had a role in it's founding. This fort is very important to us, and to our plans. During your term, you have done much to help complete those plans. When the time comes and me, or the likely event of my death )given the history of this place) one of my brothers, takes our rightful place upon the completion of those plans, you will be rewarded well.
Sincerely, a friend.
Last one, for the newcomer to the fort:
Dear Agent of Regenreich,
Yes, I know who you are, I know where you came from, I know of your organization but that's all I know about you. Why are you here? What do you want? Are you friend or foe? These are the questions that I want answered. I know such answers won't be free, so allow me to propose an alliance. I have been here far longer than you, and I have influence over more than you would think. I don't know why you are here, but I think we may be able to work together to mutual benefit. After all, we are much alike, I can tell. We are both puppet masters, pulling the strings of those beneath us to obtain or goals. What strings do you pull I wonder. Which ones do you want to pull? To what end do you want to pull them towards? Only you know. But that will change. I can help you to take hold of those strings you need, or I can sever them at the most painful moment. As a sign of good will, the construct that delivered this letter has been designed to assist you with minor tasks, such as ferrying messages about to where you need them to be. A word of caution though, do not tamper with the spells controlling it, I will know about, and I will take it as an insult. Whatever you decide, send your reply to me by telling it to "deliver to maker". If you want it to deliver a message to any other dwarf in the fort, merely tell it who you want it to go to, and it will find it's way.
From, D3.
End of the mail call for today. I'll post the turn list later tonight, unless someone beats me to it.
