A small collection of the distributed notices have been defiled and pasted around Esshar to serve as a counterpoint. They've been pointedly placed in high traffic areas, though the number of altered posters in circulation are scant given the resource used to paint them with: the blood of Dreadwoods denizens.

 
Who is foolish enough to strike against my house?
 

Quote:

Whoever is capable of bringing me Raja Avaria, alive, will be invited to my manor where they will be taken as honored guest. And I assure you, the trove of relics I have taken from the dragons that rest in my vaults are far greater than any coin you can come by.

 

I do put an emphasis on alive. I have many plans for someone who spits upon my name.

 

Now then, do not make me visit Novus myself.

- Acacio ven Astor

Quote:Ehehe, hello friends! It's been a while! Acacio, come and play! You're so worried about spit on your name, that you've failed to realize you've done that all yourself!

Your racism, your arrogance, it's bled into not one, but both of your darling children. Unfortunately, neither of them will ever be as strong as you.

Oh right this is a bounty right? You're worth probably 1000 coins right? Per body part? That's how these work right?

Bring the parts to Nilly 'Rumplestiltskin' Nolan, depending on the size, more may be rewarded.

 

Quote:"Ohhh no... The children that were spared are upset.

How tragic, you kids, jeez. You know mercy in Osrona is rare what you two girls did was worse than what got my cousin killed. What you girls did had a death penalty attached, and you got off so easy. Somehow you all are still upset with the result. I can't take it, it makes me sad honestly. Given opportunity after opportunity and it's wasted at silly attempts for revenge.

No more revenge.

I am offering many of my riches in exchange for Nilly Nolan alive or well... As long as I can recognize them…”

"Really, my guy? You just had to say that, didn't you?"
 

Quote:

I was contemplating whether or not should I let the bounty on Raja slide, as she'd be safe as long as she's within Novus walls. But of course, you just had to run your mouth didn't you?

 

Listen, Acacio was it? You're more than welcome to come to Novus. After all, it's a city that's open for all.

 

Your visit would be a great honor for us, you see?

 

Though, I won't be able to guarantee that you'd be coming out of here alive, or even come out of here at all.

 

So, don't keep us waiting for too long, alright? We'll get lonely without your shimmering presence.

 

-Sol Vanrouge, Commander and Forgemaster of Novus

While Esshar is littered with posters of many varieties, all calling for the young Astor's bounty, Armand's busy... Resting.

However news soon enough gets out about the desire for the heir's head - either alive or dead, and soon enough letters are dispatched via servants and those willing to take a small dose of coin, in order to cover up the bounty posters.

Quote:"Is this the best you have? I'm surely worth at least one hundred thousand coins, given I managed to cut your hand off with my bare fist don't you think? Over all, Raja, this is just a touch silly but I suppose genteel discussions will be ignored by demonic sympathizers all the same. If you really desire me that badly, then fight me mano a mano, instead of getting other people to do your work for you. Otherwise, it's simply lazy!"

Quote:Nilly is no longer paying for pieces of Acacio ven Astor, you can leave him alone now.
