Dear Netzach Nitzachon

A crudely scrawled letter is pinned on Galmair's town board.
Dear Netzach Nitzachon
You filthy pile of manure, mark my words: I hope for your sake that you use those seven gold you nicked from us Black Wyverns to book a ferry to the mainland, because next time I see your ugly mug, I won't be so kind as to let you run away with your tail between your soiled legs.
To all other readers, don't let this latrine licker's shit-stained mitts anywhere near your purses. This smarmy, babyfaced bastard claims to be a Serinjah, talks and fights like a poet, and runs around in crummy second-hand armour and a red cloak. You'll know him when you see him.
You've been warned.
Signed,
Captain Malchus

She reads the latest announcements with a wrinkled nose.
“So who are they talking about – this new Serinjah or my old Serinjah Malchus?”
With an amused smile, she carries on, brushing her black hair out of her face. “Men, eh?”

Malchus:
I did not steal your 7 gold. I only looked inside the bag. You are either mistaken or lying.
If you prefer, I may give you 7 gold from my own wallet as a gesture of goodwill.
But do not insult the Serinjah -- you do not look or act like any Serinjah I have seen.
Best,
-Netzach Nitzachon-

Dear Netzach
I'm glad to see that you're a man of reason. As such you will understand that having an uninvited stranger hover around our bag of gold within arm's reach raises suspicion, especially when suddenly a handful of coins disappear from it. Someone enriched themselves at our Company's expense that day, and I doubt that it was one of my fellow comrades-in-arms.
Your gesture of goodwill is appreciated. I will look for you in Galmair. When the seven gold are paid we'll consider this matter resolved and no harm will befall you.
Signed,
Captain Malchus

Hi Malchus,
Since I am a man of reason as you say, I will be extra reasonable:
I will pay you when you have paid the Financiership the onehundredandninetythree (193) gold coins you owe them.
Best,
=Netzach Nitzachon=

A poor choice. I hoped that our friendly talk last night outside of town had made you see my point. Or maybe you forgot it after stumbling into the woods and hitting your head on that tree?
Do watch yourself when heading out of town again, the roads are dangerous.
Signed,
Captain Malchus
P.S. Buy yourself some new, clean pants.

As Malchus passed by the town board again, he spotted Assistant Margret's latest parchment pasted beneath his own. He skimmed over it once or twice, but the mercenary captain was as puzzled by its content as he was when he read the first one. Whatever the note was meant to tell him or anyone else, he could not make head or tail of it.
"Who the hell is this drivel fo', me or him?" Malchus wondered. "The kitchen maid must've huffed too much sibanac if she thinks that she can charge me a 200 gold fee, or that this down-'n'-out lowlife Netz will ever have so much money t' pay her."
He shrugged indifferently and continued on his way untroubled.

A few days later, a new parchment appears on the town board. No doubt written by a paid scribe, judging by the expert handwriting compared to the mercenary captain's own, crude scrawl.
To Assistant Margret and the authorities of Galmair,
regarding the accused thief Netzach Nitzachon
In Ronas of this year 79 we, the Black Wyvern Company, represented by our company's captain Malchus, have become victims of brazen theft committed by the Galmairian citizen Netzach Nitzachon, alias Seignore Nethach Nithachon, who, according to Ms. Margret's previous writing, works as an assistant under her tutelage.
Whilst our captain and two of our company’s hirelings, Ms. Celdea and Mr. Jroy Palindrum, were surveying and dividing the spoils of their latest hunt on Galmair's market square, the accused Mr. Nitzachon approached unbidden the bag containing their loot under the pretence of wanting to "look" at it and stole from it a pile of seven gold coins with which he swiftly absconded.
Though the thief Nitzachon may deny the accusation, Captain Malchus's account of the incident can be corroborated by the testimonies of three witnesses: Ms. Celdea, enchantress of Runewick; Mr. Palindrum, mercenary and citizen of Galmair; and Mr. Richard Ironheart, merchant of Galmair and master of the local blacksmithing guild — all honourable men and women of good repute. You shall find here copies of the two Galmairians' written testimonies, the originals of which can be provided by Captain Malchus upon request.
As Mr. Nitzachon refuses to make amends and shows no contrition, we invoke the sixth rule of Galmair's customary law, unchanging and valid as the gold upon which it is engraved: "If you did harm, compensate generously, twice the damage."
We are no legal scholars, but a free band of mercenaries, and thus we defer to Galmair's authorities and the Financiership for which Ms. Margret apparently speaks to uphold and enforce their law, to pass judgement on the accused, and to collect and compensate the fourteen gold coins which Mr. Nitzachon owes to the Black Wyvern Company in accordance with the Don's rules.
Regarding Ms. Marget's claim, we have reviewed it and found no rendered service nor other reason for which the Black Wyvern Company should owe her the 200 gold coins unduly billed by her. The Company thus rejects her unreasonable demand.
Written at the behest and in the name of
~Malchus~
Captain of the Black Wyvern Company

It takes from the poorest, over again.
It escalates, wherever it can.
Officially it`s called a man.

The invalid opinions of those underlings part of your gang can hardly be counted as proof, biased and under your undue influence as they are.
I have studied law and believe me you have no case Malchus & Co. There exists a case against you though for two counts of physical assault and battery.
I will never pay you but I will consider accepting a payment from you in lieu of jail time for your person.
Netzach, Esq.

Dear Nit
Even if Celdea and Jroy are members of our mercenary company, Richard is not. He is an independent and recognised merchant of Galmair, unaffiliated with us Black Wyverns, having done business with you as much as with us and anyone else. He has no reason to lie about what he saw you do that day with our lootbag on the market. It's four testimonies against yours.
As for your baseless claims of assault, these are clearly lies fabricated to distract from your theft. You're a thief and a liar, nothing more, and whatever other trouble you got yourself into elsewhere is no concern of mine. You have no proof nor witnesses of those attacks I've allegedly committed, because it didn't happen.
If you're a student of the law and so confident in your case as you claim to be, let Galmair's authorities judge it. You won't see a single copper coin from me.
Signed,
~Captain Malchus~
Dear Marge
We accept your generous offer to pay off Netzach's outstanding debt to our Company. Once I receive the gold, Netzach's theft shall be forgiven and we'll trouble him no more.
Signed,
~Captain Malchus~

I'm not troubled. I reject the offer to pay you off and oppose it on principle.
