Lady Ludmilla Opalecent pearl of the East

Comrades,

I am satisfied with the work undertaken at the Monastry with regard to
investgating the odd circumstances. It seems Yakov and Vasav have
found a spring of aquam vis at the monastry and have arranged to
collect some of it periodically. I carefully considered their report.
Knowing their quite formidable talents I am surprised that they looked
or passed over the possibility of one the monks being in possesion of
the gift.

The Hermetic Code seems to be clear that the order of hermes either
recruit this individual or kill him. I know that Mage Nikolai has
expressed a worthy interest in taking up an apprentice. Despite the
unfortunate circumstances this Monk has been reduced to it may still
be possible to recruit him, through sufficent inducement and
persausion. I am asking if Nikolai wants to undertake to find this
Monk and recruit him, otherwise I will need to send some one to kill him.

Nikolai do you want to try to investigate this young monk for the
probability of the Gift and recruit this Kubca the young Monk?
