(Not Jackdaw)
Hello again Travance.
I once again passed through your charming town;. it’s very nice this time of year, and soon enough Te’vash will be ascendent. You can already feel the change of seasons; its so fascinating to experience seasons this way. I noticed that you all found my gift; I’m so glad you all enjoyed it. I know I’m greatly appreciating what I got from it. Oh, and speaking of things that were enjoyed, I greatly enjoyed seeing all of your burdens, more than 32 in fact!. Congratulations on a job well done. And as a thanks for playing my game, I owe you some translated words.
I do worry about how many of you counted yourselves or your friends when I asked you to carry heavy burdens. To be fair, our struggle with self confidence really is a heavy burden. Now I can’t exactly blame you for this, I know as well as most that you can’t control who impacts your life, who breaks you, who remolds your fate. I didn’t always see myself as a monster, for example, but then what was done was done, and now here I am ripping out hearts and burning down farms. Which by the way, I did. I needed some wheat to give as an offering to Te’vash, and what was I supposed to do, ask for it? Thats not what monsters do. I promise no one died this time, at least not yet. Without their livelihood, who knows how long until that family will last.
Anyway, let’s continue our game, with some alteration. The end of the month belongs to Te’vash, to whom I have left an offering somewhere in your proper. Te'vash is a being of both greed and charity; This time I’d like to see 32 instances of you performing acts of charity; whatever that means to you. As before, you can write them or draw little stick figures and leave them on any of Travance’s public boards; I’ll find them. In return, not only will you keep my interest, but I’ll also offer forth some more of the translations you want so much. If they’re interesting enough, I’ll even provide a translated word you request. Just leave your request on the board with your acts of charity.
Toodaloo,

I found the farm that had the unfortunate chance of crossing your path and are helping them rebuild and be settled comfortably for the winter.

Dear "Employer" Fella, You sound very lonely. I cannot imagine what leads to spending much or even some of your life translating a dead language in order to make a dead thing a problem, then feel the want to bask in having made a problem for working people who otherwise wouldn't have much been bothered. In the spirit of charity, would you wanna come by and have a cider or something and maybe talk this whole thing through? I cannot stop the consequences coming your way, but it's not too late for you to change the heading of your ship, give some hurting people some solace, turn yourself in, and stop this before this mess goes any further. That's the charity that I got for you; The chance to be maybe remembered as a person who made some mistakes and not another rat under a rock. Dictated but not read, Serr Thomas Bell
Charity this time, huh? My charity is usually done towards animals. I run a Sanctuary out in Albriar where we take in and rehabilitate animals to be released back into the wild. Those that cannot be released for whatever reason are given a place to live and everything they need to live out the rest of their life. In addition, it is also a school of Druidics that also provides scholarships and education to those who normally can't afford it. Hope that counts as charity to you.

I would offer for you to come to the many (but sometimes too few) mission houses in the Barony that give aid to such families as you have displaced, but I would rather not have you there - unless you seek repentance for your evil. You would see works of charity in abundance, only necessary because "monsters" see fit to serve injustices in Arawyn. You would have seen charity in abundance last moon during the Holiday of Valos' rest, where all the alms collected from those with means were given to those without.
We will provide the charity, as charity seeks to aid the immediate needs of the people. Justice, however, requires that the root cause of their suffering is addressed.
