A Secret and Most Urgent Message for King Peter II

To: Your Most Gracious and Magnificent Lordship; Peter II, Star of the House of Whey

From: Your Most Dedicated Servant, known to your august person as "Scaramouce"

Re: An opportunity to exact vengeance on the Boozonian upstarts


           Through diverse and unsavory methods I have discovered that the Boozonian army is intending to move a vast amount of gunpowder from one armory to another inside the borders of Boozonia, no doubt in support of another "accidental invasion" of our lands. I have it within my abilities to ensure that the shipment is stranded without oxen for a period of about a week near the mid-point of its travels. A fast-moving raiding party would be in position to capture and destroy this valuable asset at that location if you choose to do so.

          Please advise right away so that I can take the necessary steps to enact this plan if you choose to pursue this action.

         Be advised that the sentiment in the Highlands of Boozonia is unequivocally  for war, the Lowlands are much more tepid in that consideration. This action may drive Boozonia into the arms of the enemy.  Additionally it has come to my attention that there have been communications between the Boozonian and Freedonian governments and following those contacts the Boozonian government has begun assembling supplies along its borders with our fair land. It appears that they intend action along our borders already.


                           Your Faithful and Honest Servant,


                                                                         Scaramouce
