a large leaf sealed with a cats paw in wax to the Baroness of Green

[Falonthas]

* written in tree sap with gemdust to bring the letters to view*

Baroness, in a routine outing along the outskirts of your barony, a fellow druid and myself came across some young cats playing along side the stream

After watching these for a short time we pruned the fruit trees throughout the area of fouling branches and gathered fallen fruit for ourselves

In the midst of a calm evening we suddenly heard from across the stream screams of the cats as they were in peril, and other sounds as the screams ended

As we moved to cross the stream a black clad fellow, one who i had run across outside hempstead was bleeding, and packing away the hastily torn skins of the young cats as he crossed

We noted he had left the rest of the bodies of the cats in the bloodstained grass to rot only taking the largest portion of hide from each

When confronted with this he said merely the strongest survive in nature and wasnt that natures law

He then asked what was i going to do about it

i told him that his actions made him a poacher and he was subject to the same fate as the cats

This human knew of my recent release from the city jails for killing one who had caused the death of the rare golden bear, and taunted me asking would i kill again over the death of these cats

Simple solution to simple issue, the man was torn apart by cats fangs and claws

This missive is sent to inform you of the incident upon the outskirts of your barony and that this fellow was seen and caught by two roaming druids, if the matter comes to light from any of his city companions
