Midnight's Report: Handclap

by Midnight Erebus

Packaged in the report is the following letter and a recording:
 
Dear Midnight,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you as the Modern Major General of Gibbet, We have been closely following your exploits and have heard remarkable stories of your recent achievement in defeating the fearsome Tatzelwurm using a mana battery. Your actions have captured the imagination of the people on this side of the world, and we commend you for your courage and ingenuity.
In Gibbet, we pride ourselves on our relentless pursuit of progress and have been working tirelessly to develop a global energy company that harnesses the incredible power of mana batteries. Our vision is to transform the world, bringing forth a new era of technology that will change the way we live and interact. By tapping into the potential of mana batteries, we aim to create a sustainable, clean, and efficient energy source that can power the world for generations to come.
It is with great admiration and respect for your accomplishments that we would like to extend an invitation to you, Midnight, to become the official spokesperson of our movement. Your extraordinary story has already inspired countless individuals, and we believe that your involvement in our endeavor will not only bolster public enthusiasm but also lend credibility to our mission.
As our spokesperson, you will play a vital role in promoting the wonders of mana battery technology, engaging with the public, and sharing your unique experiences to further our cause. We are confident that your voice and influence will be invaluable in bringing the world together and achieving the ultimate goal of global energy transformation.
Please take your time to consider our proposal. We would be honored to have you join us in this ambitious venture and are eager to discuss the details further. If you have any questions or require additional information, do not hesitate to reach out to us. We eagerly await your response and hope to embark on this incredible journey together.
 
 
Sincerely,
The Modern Major General
 
PS-We have included a mock up of an advertisement and of course a 6 pack of the new Mana Batteries that can be consumed by all types of beings. We are including the new flavor, Midnight Charge! We hope you enjoy it.

I have attached a letter I received from the Modern Major General of Gibbet as a result of the recent events in the forest. I am intending to accept this offer pending permission from a superior officer. I am reluctant to fully trust Gibbet given some of the actions of their people but I believe this is an opportunity to learn more about Gibbet. Not just of their political and economic structures, but to get to know it's people. Whatever is going on, we are going to need to make peace with them if we are to return to our roots as explorers in good conscience. We can't simply leave the Silver Thimble and hope for the best. It's our home after all. Having someone on the inside of Gibbet might be the best means to accomplish this. I have attached a draft of my response letter to be looked over"
 
Additional attached letter:
 
"Dear Modern Major General,
 
Thank you for your kind offer. It is good to finally have my ability recognized. Given the threat the Tatzelwurm presents, I am interested in learning more about your endeavor. The people of this world deserve protection from beasts who would do them harm and opportunities to improve their standard of living.
 
I however have not personally had much direct interaction for Gibbet, so I absolutely do have questions that require answers and of course meeting the people I would be speaking for would be vital for me to be an effective representative. For both our sakes I would like to be certain that I am a good fit in that department.
 
With this in mind, I believe arranging a meeting after I deal with some prior obligations would be a requirement for my full consideration of your offer. I will be sure to take the opportunity to sample your wonderful gift in the meantime and put it through its paces.
 
Sincerely,
 
Midnight Erebus
Shadow Wolf of the Banshee Mountains

HIGH PRIORITY ADDENDUM:
 
"During the festival myself and Akhana went to the Gibbet tent. They were advertising this new product to the extreme with no direct acceptance from me. This is a high priority warning to the officers! The mana batteries include fine print bureaumancy giving Gibbet ownership of all positive actions taken while under the influence of mana batteries! The flamingos assisted them with this contract magic! Recommend immediate examination of how to handle this situation. Akhana has also informed me the drink they have dubbed "Midnight Rush" is also highly addicting to those with low magic levels. I have taken initiative to help strengthen my relation with the people of Gibbet for the moment. I am uncertain if this is an ideal course of action but nonetheless the opportunity that presented itself was short lasting and a quick decision had to be made. I will do what I can to keep the officers updated. I do recommend these communications and reports be kept strictly to officer access if at all possible given I suspect they would not want others to know the dangers involved in their new product."
