SUBJECT: Rescue of a Nevarran family who were eager to get out of Hasmal
PARTICIPANTS: Vanya Orlov, Gwenaëlle Baudin, Marcus Rowntree, Gela Baynrac
CLASSIFICATION: Private to the division heads
DATE FILED: Roughly late Wintermarch
STATUS: Log ongoing, but result agreed-upon and canon
SUMMARY: Tatiana Baumer reached out to Vanya when she and her family got trapped in Hasmal, banking on his lingering sense of obligation over her estranged brother having saved his life. (It worked.) The small team of Riftwatch agents got the Baumers out of Hasmal sneakily. They then escorted the family to Kirkwall, from whence they could catch a boat to Rivain, where Baumer hopes to reestablish his mercantile endeavors with a newly fostered appreciation for Riftwatch.

REPORT:

Commander Flint,

My thanks for allowing me the time and support necessary to retrieve the Baumers from Hasmal. The infiltration and extraction from the city itself was relatively simple; Tevene occupiers in the city do not seem especially vigilant or concerned about the population’s movement (at least to a point). I understand that Felix Baumer, the patriarch, is hoping to reestablish a trade in furniture once his family is established in Rivain, and wished me to convey to Riftwatch’s leadership that he would be eager to work with us on very favorable terms once he is properly settled in.

Tatiana Baumer, who wrote to me originally, also asked me to pass along this letter. The Baumers were eager to get underway and not to linger in Kirkwall, but she did also impress upon me the importance of my passing on her gratitude for Riftwatch’s assistance.

Respectfully,
V. Orlov.

The enclosed letter is comprised of multiple pages, folded and sealed with what looks like a bit of candle wax rather than proper sealing wax. The handwriting on the letter is fine but not ornate; the hand on the pages that follow, while legible, is much less refined.

NEXT STEPS: While no major loose ends remain, Riftwatch mages who are interested may study the notes (assuming the division heads make them fair game). Baumer may be drawn upon as an NPC asset in the future, should an appropriate plot opportunity arise.
