I have been branded an enemy of Ashtan, solely on the basis of a rumour about me supplying venoms to Paladins.

Very well, so be it. Henceforth, I shall provide at no charge to any Paladin who wants them, any venom it is in my power to provide. I hasten to point out that I am near trans in that skill.

Having already quit the SS and renounced my citizenship in Ashcan, I count it as no great loss to be enemied there. I shall continue my recidivistic and rogueish tendencies without the dubious 'companionships' of those I once thought of as Fellows.

In sum, for as long as the War lasts, the Sword Bums are assured of an uninterrupted supply of ALL the 'blacklisted' venoms. For this action, I expect to die...

Once.

I also expect to be quite wealthy, in due course of time. Thanks for the memories, good luck in your endeavours...ta ta!
