The goblin arms dealer cackled with glee as he translated the letter into the human language. How he’d gotten a copy of the letter, well he’d never tell. Things like this were a boon to his business and he wasn’t about to give his sources away.
Dr. DeStrasza,
As you know, we are working on a series of variations of the plague. We have come upon one that may be of interest to you as it has some of the properties that you and your Mistress Clys are seeking in your own research. This particular strain inflicts undeath upon the host once infected, however, there is a very long delay in the damage it does to the organs and tissues. We have been working on extending that delay to the damaging of the internal organs, but as it is not really our interest and it is yours, we thought perhaps you would like to further study this and test it for us.
We will provide you with the strain, one portion for your studies, and a second larger portion for the mass testing. We suggest the dwarves of Loch Modan. The lake there is perfect for massively distributing this strain variation to a large amount of subjects. If this latest synthesis of the plague is a success, the horde will have immortal dwarven slaves that can be passed on for generations much like silver dinnerware. On the other hand, if the test subjects reject the timing element of this new strain and their organs begin to decay, well a few less dwarfs for the roasting pan, but they will assuredly breed more for us so no harm done.
May the Dark Lady bless you,
Master Faranell,
The Royal Apothecary Society
The goblin blew softly on the parchment to hasten the drying of the ink and then set it aside to start another copy to pass on to another alliance guild willing to spend gold at his little shop of weapons.
