HekusMessage

After a tiring day of fund raising Vagile had a bad night sleep. The coin bags were under the mattress for safety. Now Vagile's back hurts and Vagile is grumpy. Not that Vagile is complaining.

When Vagile woke up there was a message from Master Hekus waiting. He must have had some messenger send it over cos he is still studying hard without food or sleep to help us.


"Dear Vagile,
Thank you for your efforts in coin gathering. However I must ask you to redouble your efforts. Time is of the essense. An ancient scroll I read late last night suggests that even more copper will be needed than first thought. It is a question of how long the altar 1.0 pieces lay around in an unpurified state. Their condition deteriorates.
Currently I am holding them in a stable state of balance by feeding them my own life force. I understand that many exiles would rather spend their coins on fancy colored clothes and that is their right. I pour my own life essence into the altar pieces for the sake of the many other exiles who are contributing their every coin to the Altar 2.0 effort. I am weak. I do not know how long I can keep this up. I will do my best.
Please, I know I ask a lot of you, do your best to persuade the town that we need the 110,000 coins as quickly as possible. I have asked Eva to assist you in gathering coins from exiles to allow you time to sleep. She is a helpful soul but far less persuasive than your good self.
You were correct in our discussion earlier. It is true that the powers of Troilus come from the altar as well. As soon as the residual force is drained, Troilus's powers will wither to naught as well. Also, I have two more reports of drained and shattered moonstones. We have only seen the merest glimpse of the iceberg on the horizon of this crisis. It might be wiser to guard that information yourself rather than risk spreading panic.
Do your best to keep the spirits of Puddleby high. In the end that may be more important then even Altar 2.0.
Again, thank you for your efforts.
From the desk of:
Master Hekus
PS Vagile should buy gold clothes from the coins already gathered so Vagile will stand out in the crowd more so wretched exiles will see her better to fork their coins over more easily."

Okay, Vagile made up the PS bit. But Vagile thinks Master Hekus's words are pretty clear.

A fighter with only 2 coins who forks them both over is nobler and more spiritually wealthy than some cheapskate with thousands who keeps a few hundred for personal use.

Today's simple informative update for slower exiles and dwarves-

Coins to Vagile for Altar 2.0 = go to heaven of your choice.

Coins kept in purse, in bank or left ungathered in the form of cute furry critters = eternity with razor blades in your nostrils and a mouthful of molten lead.
