Northeast War, a dear companion of mine, a liege-woman of the Duchess Marieke,
was 'kidnapped' by subjects of His Excellency, Baron Juan Xavier Stonemarche.?
They hold her in ransom, demanding a pittance of 9 bottles of 16yo scotch.?
While the price is high - no ransom is worthy of our Dear Lady Alline
Knutcrusher.

Her Grace, Marieke.? This campaign will commence on a field at Pennsic War, at a
Regional Event of His Excelleny Stonemarche's choosing, or some other field
(really, it's an excuse to fight - but fun!).? I ask for the support of whatever
forces you may be able to assist with, should you be able and/or willing.? While
you owe me nothing, I ask for support in this noble cause.

Stonemarche, I will ask him to let us settle the matter ourselves in a grand
melee.

Knutcrusher in better condition than she was taken.? Additionally, I intend to
demand 6 bottles of mead and a pound of bacon for her trouble.? I intend to
divide the eventual results of the campaign, as is the custom of my people.
