Placio sends a letter to Daomei, due to the sensitive nature of the information it is encoded so only the intended recipient can make sense of the words. (( others don't respond directly to this ))
Lordoy Nair Daomei!
Thank you for making public the facts behind the ridiculous extortion against the federation and empire. In addition to the facts you mentioned, I was surprised to hear that in this incident the Amazons were under contract to protect the travelers. So the Amazons should have been prepared to enter a dangerous and lawless place like Nexus. And just legally, they were literally already paid for any fighting by that contract.
However, I was contacted by an official of the kingdom that argued on behalf of the Amazons. I asked what they would do to prevent this deliberate attack and it was made clear that the kingdom would take no action. So faced with a choice between slaughtering greedy residents of the forest or paying a few dappers, I believe Deputy Taliar Chenli made the best decision possible. I wish she would have settled for a lower price, just to show that there was a negotiation, but one million dappers are not as valuable as the project or international relations.
Tor Lochi!
Placio the Frippo
