Within the box was a single sheet of paper and beneath it a bundle of parchment of which the top right corner was burned off. Also within the box were several blackish stains that Waycrest identified as dried blood. On the paper was written a note addressed simply to 'My Lord'. It read:

"My Lord, you were right, the mine is not being closed but still used. Everyday men come as well as some Ogryn to work in it, yet the work on sealing the entrance never gets any more complete. Yet for upwards of ten hours a day dozens of men do something within, they come out, dirty and tired, but nothing else comes out. With the mercenaries known as the 'Ice Knives' arriving, most have stayed within the city but some accompany the workers into the mine. Gavreil decided to go in see what he could find, os we found some local clothes similar to the workers.

He came back that evening with the packet I'm including. He said that they spotted him right off, but when he said he was just curious they were right welcoming. I couldn't get much out of him about what happened in there or what was going on. He just said they were doing a great work and gave him the packet to help explain what it was. I asked him what it was and Gavreil told me to read and I would understand. When I said I didn't have time for that and he should just tell me, he got furious, demanding that I read it. I realized then that he had turned and there was something in it that made him turn, cursed writing perhaps. I was forced to kill him and the struggle damaged the vox which is why I'm leaving this note. I burned the book a bit to hopefully make it safe to read, but I'm not taking any chances. Hopefully you'll know what to do with it.

Don't know how much Gavreil told them. I know you had things in place to prevent him form telling anyone about your lordship and hopefully they held. I know he told them about me though, they've been sending soldiers out searching, I can't make it to the city undetected. I'm not going to let them track me down like a rat though. I've stolen a load of mining explosives and I'm making my way into that mine. Hopefully I'll take them down with me, or at least do something about this 'great work'.

Ave Imperator.
