RECIPIENT: All y'all
NOTES: N/A

Hey, guys. It's Ellie. Uh, acting Griffon keeper for the next couple of months. And since we've got a lot of new people joining, I was thinking- it might be intimidating to just go up to the Aerie and introduce yourself to the griffons alone.

They're mostly just big babies, but I know they don't look like it.

[Also, said babies can take off an arm if they feel like, but details.]

Riftwatch has some griffon riders who take good care of them, but they have favorite people they bond with and a lot of them don't have anybody special.

So if you want to come up and meet them, let me know and I'll introduce you. And if anybody's interested in learning to ride -- griffons or horses, or whatever else is in the stables, I can teach you that too.

[ooc; Griffon riding is an AC Reward that can be purchased here until the system is updated! It can be done without threading with Ellie or anyone else about it, but if you want to thread it out heyo]

SUMMARY: In the course of retrieving the elusive Mother Natela from her small rural Chantry, our heroes were ambushed by Imperial soldiers and Venatori. Though they were held hostage for a small stretch of time, they managed to cleverly escape along with some interesting correspondence grabbed at the last minute before they hit the road.

REPORT:
To be noted—

Madame de Cedoux and I were successful in persuading Mother Natela to make the journey into Kirkwall. We believe she has left word for those who would seek her to journey into Kirkwall, and the care of her former patients has been left in capable hands. I would think that in the interim we may make some introductions for her to a clinic within the city, so she may occupy herself while we await word of a second Conclave.

On the road, we met with a minor inconvenience in the form of Imperial soldiers. While we were very briefly captive, we had some luck in their underestimation of our capability. With some clever work from Madame de Cedoux, we were able to take advantage of distraction and acquire a horse upon which we fled.

A handful of papers were recovered, and given over upon our return to be assessed for any relevant information.

The horse seems of fine stock, and will be a worthwhile addition to the stables.

NEXT STEPS: Make Mother Natela comfortable in her new digs. Chase up leads from Venatori correspondence.

NOTES & LINKS: While the report will appear as written above, John gave the recovered letters directly to Flint for examination, which discussed the task of "taking a group all the way to Photious" with some consolation from the letter-writer's partner that he should be glad he "wasn't the one who had to take them the rest of the way to the Island."
