Master Swordsman Wanted

[ShiffDrgnhrt]

*you notice a wrinkled sheet of parchment nailed to the bulletin board, written in a neat hand but in a rough composition*
[INDENT]  Who: Shiff Dragonheart
  What: One Master Swordsman, or someone who knows a lot about swords and how to fight wit'em
  Why: Hoping to learn as much as I can about sword fightin.
  When: As soon as possible, but not all at once.
  Where: In Hlint... Where else?
  If there is anyone interested in earning some extra True or some other valuable stuff that knows how to raise hell with a Blade send a reply care of the Post Master in town. He knows where to find me. I'm open to negotation as to payment type, but I'm a bit strapped for coin at the moment so understand if I can't pay right away. I just arrived on Mistone and Merchants don't pay much for guarding their ships.

  P.S. I prefer to meet at the Tavern, in case I need an ale to swallow me pride when I hear the price

*This is nailed right below the other piece of paper*  
[INDENT]  I can offer at least 700 True for the services of said Swordsman at the moment.   Gimme a break, pirates and Mercenaries are not in great demand on the mainland, and its not easy finding work.
  S.D.
  P.S. I've checked with the Post Master and he hasn't had anyone approach him about my offer.  Its OK people...  I don't bite.

[INDENT]  I don't smell bad either.  :p

Hmm I have a plan for this, At a price of 700 true I could be a master swordsman, though I have yet to attain the skill necessary to not need mud. I am sure there is something I can teach of of the art of not being struck and the finer art of returning the blow. I am the fifth of my line, and therefore assume we have learned something. Please seek me out if you will, it would be best to bring pie and drink, for refreshments during teaching, thank you. As you can see I can write too.

Thorn Thistletoe the fifth.
