@ Derren The message is from Rubber Ducky, a particularly gregarious orc you met some years back. To those who don't know him Ducky is a loudly cheerful womanizer who's drinking will always get him into trouble. To those who do know him he's a solid gunman who's drinking and womanizing make him risky for the big jobs. But, you happen to know he's been running in & out of Tir for a few years now and has connections on both sides of the borders. >>Hey Double D, good to know you're still alive and kicking. I won't say shooting since I got boots that can shoot straighter than those little pea-shooters you call pistols. Tell you what. I'm up for a bit of hunting on some good forest land, How about you come up for a bit of vacation and I'll show you how a real man hunts. Tell Juliana I said to lend you a real gun from my private collection.<< Juliana is code for a small town near the border where Jules lives, a coyote shaman of your passing acquaintance. And the reference to his private collection of guns means he'll be taking you himself.)
