With the repairs completed to the Serpent's Isle shipping company vessel commanded by the Pickle King the time was growing short for the return trip to Minoc and the second attempt to transport a large part of the cargo that had been orded by Leeda and Dragons Edge.
This time however the shipment would be escorted by the Trinsic navy,,,"let those pirates attempt to take this shipment he thought"

Putting quill to parchment the governor writes a brief letter to the new Mayor of Minoc.

Mayor Anexior;
I am sending you this letter via the Pickle King to request an audience with you at your earliest possible convenience.
I would very much like to discuss a trade aggreement as well as a military alliance between Minoc and the Territory of Trinsic.
The Trinsic Fleet would very much like to aquire your permission to use the port of Minoc as a resupply and forward operating base as well.
If you are interested in discussing these issues with me in more detail then please return a message with the captain of the Trinsic Fleet captain who shall be escorting the next shipment of cargo from your port to Trinsic.
I would be happy to set sail for Minoc in order to meet with you in person as well as to deliver the rather large payment for the remainder of the Order.
Respectfully

Governor Ironhorse,
It is with great pleasure that I accept invitation to audience with you to discuss these matters. Your support and friendship (and experience) are welcome. I have assembled myself a very small private guard and will make my way, by land, to your mansion, and should arrive 3 days after you have been able to secure the material shipment for Magencia. It is also my hope to be able to attend your Festival of Honor. I look forward to your council and anticipate a great benefit for both of our cities.

Sincerly,

Anexior Bolt
Mayor of Minoc
Proprietor of Ingot Emporium
