Well played, Ransom. Well played. I cannot deny it. You were loyal to
the Naga from day one, and have betrayed us. I suppose my lack of
insight to your character is only marginally balanced by my foresight to
allow you no access to gold. And I must congratulate you on your witty
retelling of the Naga's history.

Shallam, I entreat you and yours. Cast the serpent Ransom from your
walls. He stole nothing from me but my pride, and that heals. But he
stole hundreds and hundreds of lessons from my guild. 84 members he
outguilded. less than 10% of them had earned class in my young guild.
This is not an good or evil issue, this is Ransom stealing lessons from
players who did nothing to him.

I assume that the people of Shallam, and their leaders, had nothing to
do with this. And I hope that justice will be done. If you keep Ransom
within your walls, I offer advice that was given me about another
Secretary.

Keep a known traitor in your house at your own risk.
