Stephen's Betrayal

A messenger boy runs up to the board quickly, attaching a fine vellum parchment and then flees quickly again.
Dear Townsfolk,
I am sure the words of myself will interest you all concerning the details of both Rothman's disposition and his contract with the temple.
In answer to your first query, yes, Rothman did indeed hold a contract with my establishment. The terms of the contract simply stated that in return for protection, and tolerance within the fair town of Trollsbane, the temple would fund Mr Rothman a set amount of silvers each month for the duration of the contract. In addition to this, the temple's actions within the town would be largely overlooked by the authorities.
Rothman did infact approach the temple with a request for military aid against the dwarves. Naturally we responded that we were not a military establishment and so forth declined his request. Despite his insistance we had no desire to war against the dwarves.
Finally Rothman's will broke when he decided to betray not only the town to us, but further betray the temple itself by attempting to imprison myself. It is from this action I have decided to write this fine parchment to show the true extent of Rothman's corruption.
Yours most graciously,
The Obsidian Lich
Lord Nalzaxx Nerenghast
Priest of the Temple
Lord of Pestilence and Plague
