Your good pal

I will have nothing to do with this. Further, I categorically reject anyone's attempt to bind me to this agreement.

Well Valosian I understand your disregard of contracts and binding agreement. They must infuriate you but you are one and your lands like mine have a hierarchy that is enforced.

Your good pal

Honestly we think a deal could be reasonably struck. BUT, this deal is simply terrible. This is a work order with no substantial pay, wherein the only real assistance given is in information. The pay offered, six months of no harassment, and hinders the approaching parties in no way. For this amount of WORK we would be doing, they should be in monetary ruins. This contract is nothing more than a fantasy, and I would say major reworkings would be needed to make this beneficial in any substantial way.
This is only my observation, we would encourage a revision to be more cooperative with the effort put.
As of now I stand, speaking for ourself, disappointingly at no. I expected more intelligence be put into this writing.

That is a trap. We offer money, objects of power, and favors, you'll play the men of honor and take umbrage. We ask you to do what is right, you'll play the "hero" refusing to work with demons because of your mortals bias. I would expect more from an Ebon Hound.

Insult my Order again and you will quickly find yourself without extremities, slime.
