Default Re: The Ark can kill your pretender?

Silly me; I have bodyguards to use after all. Fifty hired swords should have jumped to save my hide from these unwanted complications. Alas, I seem to recall something about "unpaid wages" due to having to save up for hiring that plane. I would have expected more lenience in such petty requests; so I haven't paid in one year, but I would have eventually done so.

So, a quick reality check:
* There are currently two known schemes to ensure a swift demise should I attempt something foolish. Nothing tells me there are not other similar threats, unbeknown to me.
* A courier has already been sent, and her abilities are a mystery. But even if she is not just a magically enlarged dragonfly, the other threats aforementioned are enough to... erh... convince me.
* Arryn herself may be waiting somewhere, for example right in my back. Never underestimate the power of a Teleport spell.
* Even the paper dictating the conditions of the surrender may carry a poison of some sort. I should tread carefully here. What is this odd fragrance I am smelling?

Thus I can conclude I have little choice. Where is the paper I have to sign? Hopefully, with such vague terms of "unconditional surrender" et al, you will not even have to add in invisible clauses. I might want to do so though... Did I speak that thought aloud? Oops.
