[Only Sane Meranthan]

Notices nailed upon city boards, slipped underneath the doors of everyone who doesn't explicitly have a No Solicitors sign out front, flyers handed out in the streets of every settlement across Meranthe but Dal'Thala.
... Some even find their way to the Crescent Isle. A *lot* of them find their way to the Crescent Isle.

"A treasure has been stolen from my own boat.
One life-sized, if very chunky, plushie of Meranthe's favorite brash, rude, indignant, racially insensitive Ookami; Etain.

I am a merciful man. If it is returned to me, no matter who you are, you will be forgiven.
If it is not? I will hunt you. I will have you hunted. I will have that boat examined by some of Meranthe's greatest minds and magi, and I will locate you.
With each day that passes, so too will the punishment awaiting you grow.

I am a merciful man.
So long as it is returned."

Attached just beneath the message is an artist's rendition of some strange event wherein three Etain plushies(?) sit on a magic circle, a certain Christophore Garijn and some Guy standing near.
A circle is drawn around a specific, much chunkier, Etain plushie, to specify the desired target.

Name: Unknown. If you quietly leave it back in my boat? I won't ask.
On Behalf Of: Aricles Alline, and the friends he has made.
Wanted: Alive. Either the plushie or the individual responsible.

Reward: If you return it? Your safety, or limbs, or life, depending on how long this takes. If someone else has to drag you to me? They will get a 50,000c payment. Or four beast fragments, type negotiable. And one favor of a mercenary.
