## Summary

Your talents may prove useful in our guild. That dexterity of yours
is quite useful to say the least. Now, show me what you have.
(Isobelle carefully opened the scroll and found
instructions for Hermano Tito from Bobby Lauren.)
I've received word that you've encountered fierce resistance against the tax.
You must remember, however, that all of this is for a greater cause.
That nuisance, Al Rhundi, seems to be inciting the farmers.
We must purge the seeds of rebellion before it grows out of control.
You must make an example out of any who dare to help the rebels.
For there's no better medicine than fear to put down the resistance. 
Always remember. History smiles upon the victors.
Victory, however, will require large sums of money.
I understand you are in a difficult position at the moment,
but this order's from Sir Jordine. I've every faith that you'll handle this well.
