Vermiculus heard the news of the attacks, and was disappointed that no one seemed to want peace. He sighed, and called in his advisors. "I want you men to find out everything about this situation. I wanna know if this was a legitimate attack, or some mercenaries. I want you to double the patrols on the border, and I want someone to find where our missing people are." He then got to work on a bounty notice to be sent everywhere.

[i]Wanted
Any information concerning the disappearance of Tar Sequinus citizens and military personnel. 
Reward
20,000 gold pieces[/i]

He also sent a letter to the King of Nastrondi
[i]Greetings 
It has come to my attention that some of your troops have attacked and killed some of mine. Whether they were acting on their own, or under your direct orders is unknown. I ask that you look into this matter, and should it come to light that this was your doing, well, use your imagination.
Signed, Lord Vermiculus[/i]
