The Mysterious Recruit

​Hey Steph, I couldn't meet you at our spot, so I'm leaving this note. Grindmill duty's got me in a chokehold, you know? ​Sorry to bring up work, but do you know a man named "Loft"? We found him wandering around in the snow. He said he was from a lumber team and that he got lost. He's fixing the roof on the tower now, but he seems... distracted. ​I requested a list from Everfrore Keep for all lumberers currently employed, but they're swamped with paperwork again. ​Remember John? He works there now. Dead inside, I assume.

​No matter. Do you like the beer I left you? It's got a "kick", huh? It's my new secret ingredient. I've got more in our hidden brewery. Don't worry, no one's caught on yet. Should we invite the new lad for a drink? - Kent

​Greetings from the grindmill. I hope my letter finds you well. I am writing to you to follow up on a previous request I sent regarding the list of all currently conscripted recruits in the lumber department. Please acknowledge receipt of my letter. We might have found one of your lads.**

​**Note: Excuse the formalities. Did you know that Steph has returned from her excursion? Let me know how things are at Everfrore Keep, old chap. How's office life? ​If you're ever free, drop by. We've got a sweet little spot here - don't tell the major - for brewing special beer. It's sort of... covert, you understand. Can you still drink more than I? I doubt it. Prove me wrong! ​- Best, General Kent
