Another year has passed for Tools of Vengeance. And, I'm happy
to announce that we have had a prosperous year. Each stockholder
is entitled to 162 gold pieces per share; that's 1% of our posted
annual profit: 16,200 gp. We have doubled in size now, and we
are growing more each day.

A number of you have noticed that our store doesn't seem to be
offering a diverse array of merchandise yet. It appears that
there is a bug of some sort that prevents more than half of
the items in my stockroom to appear on the WARES list. And,
sadly, just as the fiscal year ended, Uldrais and Laergon
broke into my shop and stole my entire inventory. Do not
worry; we can come back from this. I am seeking legal action
with the Gods at this time. But, if next year's profits are a
little shallow, you have Uldrais to thank for it (and possibly
Laergon, although, I don't have any proof that he actually
stole any items). As a Vizier of Shallam, I cannot condone any
violent or illegal actions, but if some stockholders in ToV
should feel it necessary to remind Uldrais that stealing is
wrong by issuing a punishment, that is entirely their decision.

Looking forward to another great year with you. Our scalemail
is our best seller, and you'll be seeing a lot more of it this
year. Take care, all.
