Royal Investigator, herewith the requested update regarding our progress here at your magic manufactory. Per your instruction we produced the following:
The item: Greataxe of the Steadfast, delivered, as I understand, by Faculty Thaira Dewen. I was deeply involved in this matter, particularly due to the complexity and limited available time. As a result, I was unable to take the time to train a third Apprentice. I did direct our current staff to focus on producing potions — they benefit from the repetition. As a result, alongside this missive please find 1) Lesser Potion of Haste with which I also worked and 1 each: Potion of Healing, Potion of Climbing. Normally the Haste potion could not have been manufactured in such short order, but I had begun work on it, as I believe I mentioned before I received your directive related to the axe, therefore it is done with unusual (ahem) haste.
The courier bearing this message should be in possession of these items except for the axe. I hope it was not an error to allow Faculty Dewen to bring that item herself — she insisted. I am under no apprehension who rules in this manufactory, Royal Investigator. If you would not wish that I allow such things as her involvement in the future, please make your intentions known to me and I will obey.
Please advise on what you would have myself and my artisans devote our time to until my next update.
Your loyal servant,
Sevrin Auguste, Magister.
