Year 1

Received Quaegar 15 from Gruux

One of the goblins that previously approached Minnie has found Gary at Strixhaven. He demands 100 gold to replace the statue Gary melted and makes an unspecified threat if the debt goes unpaid.

Well, shit… It’s been tough trynna bloody find ye, kid… Ye hide well, I’ll give ye that. But ye can’t hide forever. Every doggy has its day, y’know…

Looks like ye’ve done good fer yerself, Gah-ray. Fancy school, fancy clothes, fancy friends. S’impressive, I’ll give ye that much. A scrawny little weakling like you, goin’ so bloody far, so bloody fast.

Well… We’ve made some friends too, Gah-ray… Resourceful friends, they turned out to be. They made gettin’ into the school easy.

So… Here’s wha’s gonna happen next, lad. Ye’re gonna pay us back every coin, ye hear? 100 gold, it costs to repair our statue, wha’ with the price o’ metal goin’ up.

Our elders are too busy preparin’ for war ‘gainst the Slaad. They don’t give a shit ‘bout us o’er here in the big city. Gotta take matters into our own hands, see? They already laughed at us. Scorned us. An’ ye made it even worse with tha’ little stunt o’ yers. Ye OWE us!

If ye fail to meet our demands, well ye best watch yerself… Cuz we’re onto ye, lad. We knows where ye work & we knows where ye live.

Krokt Tower, eh? Wha’ a funny little coincidence. I’d start savin’ up if I was ye, Gah-ray. Cuz ye best believe we’ll be comin’ to collect soon enough. Ye won’t even see us comin’…

Received Golgar 17 from Minnie

Minnie scolds Gary for not writing and tells him a group of goblins came looking for him. They wanted to talk about the statue he previously melted. Minnie's also trying to get the Izzet League to confirm they're paying for Gary's second year at Strixhaven, but is having issues.

Garrett,

You must have quite some nerve, boy. How DARE you… I am extremely disgusted and disappointed. An entire month, you’ve been at Strixhaven. And I’ve gotten not one letter from you. Not ONE… Have you no shame, boy?! Have you no manners?! Pfft… Alright, I know I told you to focus on your studies & not bother writing me much, but dammit I didn’t think you’d take it seriously!

Anyway, how’s Strixhaven treating you? Hope you haven’t blown anything up. I ain’t paying for no damages, you hear? And neither will the League.

Y’know, it’s certainly good that you left when you did. Those pesky goblins from Ravnica came knockin’ on my door the other day, looking for ya. They were actin’ all pissy because they can’t seem to be able to fix that bloody statue you destroyed. Apparently, between the Boros Legion demanding more armor & the Izzett League’s latest little project, the price of iron has skyrocketed ‘round here (y’know that Silvertrove lot? The dwarves? They’re makin’ BANK now). Anyway, I told ‘em goblins ‘Why not just rebuild the Krokt statue out o’ copper?’ But they didn’t seem to like that idea very much. Bastards spat on my kitchen floor.

On that note, the League has been keepin’ me busy with their latest little project. They are calling it a ‘Railroad’… Their plan is to have it done within a year. It’s supposed to be just as fast and efficient as an airship, only without the perils of traveling by air. As interestin’ as it sounds, it’s been dryin’ out the Forest of Eljor of its resources. The Slaad tribes might not be so happy about that. Neither might the elves. But the League seems to think the risk is worth it.

Y’know I’ve been trying to put in a good word for ya. Tryin’ to convince them to pay for another year, but they’re all swamped with recruits. Sayin’ they don’t need no more for now. Not to worry, I’ll keep tryin’. If they agreed to pay for one year, I’m sure they’ll find the funds come the end o’ spring. Even if they have te sell their bloody house.

By the way… Them goblins did mention they weren’ gonna let this go. Say they’ll find you one way or another. Pfft… Don’t worry, lad. They wouldn’t make it past the Dragonsguard, even if they sent their best fellas after ya. They’d have to be daft.

Unless, of course, they tried lookin’ for ya at your parents’ place… Hmm…

Maybe I oughta go pay ‘em a visit, just in case…

Anyway, DO WRITE, boy. Have some manners. Not sayin’ I miss ya or anythin’. But I will say, my kitchen don’t smell nearly as good as it used to. I DO miss that.

Take care, boy.

-Minnie
