Well I can think of one way to figure this out. Shadow said turning away from the town hall and towards one of the merchants, "Excuse me, you seen anyone with a letter like this?" he asked showing the letter in a way to make sure it was unreadable.
The merchant glanced at it for a second and smiled, "I might, what's it worth to you?" he asked leaning on the counter.
Greedy bastard, Shadow thought diggind into his pockets, "How 5 dollars, that should be more than enough just for telling me something."
"Supply and demand my friend, make it 20."
"I'll make you a better offer," Shadow smiled a bit under his hood and moved his face withing an inch of the merchant's, his eyes glowing underneath it, "I keep all my money, you tell me what I want to know, and I don't devour your mate and offspring." he threatened bearing his fangs a bit, "Well?"
The man had immediately backed away shaking a bit in fear, "Th-there was a dragon here I didn't see them but I overheard it from a friend of mine at the bar. Late last night, said it had a letter similar to that one and was asking about the town hall. I haven't seen him since I swear."
Figures, useless. Shadow thought backing away from the counter, "Now was that so hard?" he asked dropping a five on the counter, "Oh, and if I suddenly have a group of slayers coming after me, I'll know who sent them." he said as he walked away. A story a man heard from a drunk. This doesn't help out the letters authenticity. he thought pulling out the letter and reading it over again to make sure he hadn't missed anything.
