*response letter written to the Sheriff and council from Deputy Trip*
Speaking with a known enemy of Shadowdale does not constitute conspiring with said enemy. All those who embrace darkness and evil ways should have a chance to change heart, repent, and do good and bear light in it's stead. That being said, I regretfully fear Silphie is too far gone for such. Speak with me in private if you care to hear the particulars.
Faithfully,
Trip
