[A packet of parchment. The note attached to the top page reads:]
Mssr Gabranth,
I seem to recall you claiming some expertise with the handling of corpses and would ask that you make use of that aptitude now.
My preference would be to enroll the most creative of the charlatans on our payroll as long distance agents for use by our Scouting division. Should you fail to sway them then you are ordered to remand them (dead or alive) to the magistrates of the nearest township in order to make a record of Riftwatch's work in the area, and to see that they are handled appropriately in accordance with whatever custom the Nevarrans believe suitable.
You are to take no more than three members of the company to assist you, though they may be of your choosing. Submit your personnel request to the office of the correct authority directly should they be members of any division but your own .

[The rest of the packet consists of a few copied maps with locations roughly sketched on them, last known whereabouts, and what appears to be a section excerpted from a longer field report received by one of Riftwatch's contacts abroad. It reads:]
...As a final aside, I have received and verified through multiple eye witness accounts that there is presently a small company of rogues haunting the various trade routes from just outside Nevarra City and as far west and the northern branch of the Imperial Highway where it is meant to span the Minanter.
This company is allegedly making great use of the fear in that area by posing as possessed corpses in order to terrify merchant trains into submission for long enough to fetch away their ill gotten gains. As far as my reach extends, I have heard of only one death attributed to the company—that of a Mssr Adalbert Regas, an elderly silk merchant who his daughters report was frightened to death by one thief's especially gruesome visage.
Your Humble Servant +++
