Read the farewell letter to Hideaway Letters are meant to be read, aren't they?	Mirrors challenge (125 for 100%) Undercrow: Delivering a Farewell Letter to Hideaway = 1 [Unopened and pristine]	Failed event
		'Farewell my captain, my love.' The seal is broken, but surely that's a problem for later. Within, the words read with equal parts reverence and resignation. Details are politely kept at arm's length, but that doesn't prevent the author from reminiscing of proud triumphs together. Victory at sea over screaming ships of Polythreme. Sparring sessions that turned into something more. These times are gone, but his camaraderie is eternal. "I'm sorry for giving up the fight, Arik. You always were the strongest of us." +25 x Fragment Undercrow: Delivering a Farewell Letter to Hideaway = 3 [Clearly perused]

		'Farewell my captain, my love.' With a deft hand, you release the letter's contents without disturbing its seal. Within, the words read with equal parts reverence and resignation. Details are politely kept at arm's length, but that doesn't prevent the author from reminiscing of proud triumphs together. Victory at sea over screaming ships of Polythreme. Sparring sessions that turned into something more. These times are gone, but his camaraderie is eternal. "I'm sorry for giving up the fight, Arik. You always were the strongest of us." +25 x Fragment Undercrow: Delivering a Farewell Letter to Hideaway = 2 [Stealthily read]
Read the apology letter to Nook You ought to know what kind of trouble you're stirring up, oughtn't you?	Mirrors challenge (125 for 100%) Undercrow: Delivering a Letter of Apology to Nook = 1 [Unopened and pristine]	Failed event
		'To Batuk, the ever-gracious' A slip of the knife tears open the seal. Surely an apology for that can be added to the letter's contents. The letter is a heartfelt - or hand-wringing, if you'd rather - apology. Two apologies, in fact. The first is for conducting an affair with the recipient's cousin, 'Rosina'. The second is for a military blunder. The Almost Dead Man was a scout, who failed to detect the approach of 'the Hyenas' - enemy reinforcements? The outcome, it seems, was catastrophic. Sensitive subjects. How is this Batuk likely to take them? +25 x Fragment Undercrow: Delivering a Letter of Apology to Nook = 3 [Clearly perused]

Read the love letter to Anthe It would seem a shame not to.	Mirrors challenge (125 for 100%) Undercrow: Delivering a Love Letter to Anthe = 1 [Unopened and pristine]	Failed event
		'My dearest Rosina, from your Lorenzo' The seal is clearly broken, but perhaps contents will distract the recipient. The letter is sincere, passionate, explicit. It's hard to tell which of these are frantic acts performed in the excitement of battle, and which are imagined flourishes. The letter speaks with more than lust. It recalls Rosina's ministrations after an 'Accident', and a bone-hollowness after parting. It ends with a joke it trusts the reader to understand. You do not. +25 x Fragment Undercrow: Delivering a Love Letter to Anthe = 3 [Clearly perused]
