Moriarty sat for a long time considering the letter that Verden the Merchant's
servant had brought to him.

It asked him if he would undertake a contract to ensure that there we no
unfortunate repercussions from the Rameshander mage Amaan's visit to Generica,
such as those which would arise from his electing to remain in Generica rather
than return to Rameshan, and especially anything which might cause an
international incident and thus disrupt trade.

After some thought, he decided that this didn't interfere with the contract
from the Mage Guild that instructed them to make sure that Amaan's visit to
Generica was not disrupted by Archmage Thorn or his associates.  In fact, both
could be done at once.

Of course, the Arcas wasn't due to arrive for a few days yet, last he had
heard.  If some incident happened before Amaan arrived in Generica, then there
was nothing he could do about it, could he?  It would void the contract, since
it would become impossible to accomplish it, but hopefully Verden wouldn't hold
that against him, and perhaps they could be of service to each other again.

There was a knock upon the door.  Good thing I stayed here, he thought, instead
of gallivanting about in the night like all the rest.  First Verden's
messenger, and now this, whatever it is.  It might be an assassin, or some
kind of thug, but this is a peculiar place to decide to rob...still, he picked
up a little magical gewgaw that might give him an advantage.  "Come in," he
said...
