Trying to Find my Friend

Orders acknowledged. Thank you for the instruction, Sir Phillidin.

All,

Isn't Captain Jackdaw just trying to set him up to kill him and take all his money? I mean, he shouldn't kill anyone, and what he plans is a crime too, but it seems obvious he wasn't trying to betray us.

Caldor

Caldor,

"Help[ing] a man offering to pay us, and pay us well," does not indicate anything short of being willing to do whatever the money demands. It does not appear that he intended to support us - only his own coffers.

None shall serve or aid an enemy of the Barony, nor take arms against the Barony, nor commit espionage against the barony, nor hinder another in the pursuit of an enemy of the Barony. None shall commit treason against the Kingdom of Kormyre.
Whomever breaks with this law shall be subject to a Major Punishment.

I believe this is clear. Because of my posting this, however, I feel to maintain my honor in this, I must offer my protection if the Culling Post is chosen as the method of punishment.

May Galmachis be gentle and Galladel just - but this is in the hands of Valos now.

In the shadow of the fist,
Qulun Guo Chenjing

To anyone who is seeking Jackdaw for the purposes of upholding law and order, he will be calmly reporting to Kormyrian Naval authorities for questioning.

Caldor, I am most thankful for your wisdom and keen perception directly into the heart of the matter. Jackdaw intended no betrayal of Travance or allies of such that we hold dear - he is long used to dealing with the sort of darker-hearted types in Coast Haven, where such an offer is given and received for what it is, namely, one entirely insincere on both ends. (I doubt the other party had any intention of paying for information in any coin save violence and blood, given what I have heard of him.)

Intention does not, however, matter alone against the letter of the law, certainly. I am sure Jackdaw will be making public contrition known very shortly.

Regards,

... So..it seems I have once again mistaken how Travance conducts its business, and lead to something of a misunderstanding. Caldor was correct, I was inviting the man into an ambush. If one were to examine my words they would note I offered to help, never specifying that said help would involve finding any persons of interest. The intended help was to be into the waiting arms of his enemies and to remove him of his gold (which would no doubt be used for ill intent in his hands.)

I would be curious to know what method you lot use to entrap horrible bastards what need a solid killin but have to date managed to elude you, but that is a discussion for another time.

In short I sincerely apologize and greatly regret any misunderstanding that has occurred. And I would certainly not like to mistakenly take an action to make things worse, thus I shall willingly submit to this warrant.

Why is everyone so angry with "The Father?"
