*the steel plate is removed and replaced with a delicately written note*
I, Rane Reynolds hearby announce my return to work with the red vardo traders and any other person or group seeking smithed goods.
I also thank the red vardo traders for their assistance and sympathy in this difficult time. I know that many outlanders dislike the Red vardo traders for actions undertaken in the past, perhaps this is a time for all of us to reconsider previous conceptions and ways of thinking. Redemption is possible in all things, even for such a large organisation as the Red Vardo Traders. Also please note that the transgressions against me were not made by Red Vardo Traders, but by some people close to some of the Red Vardo Traders.
I am sure many of you will think me foolish for this opinion, but I have worked closely with the Red Vardo Traders over the last few months and despite the rumours I have found them to mostly be courteous and professional in their dealings. If a single person can come foward to me and state that they have never done something wrong or made a mistake in their lives I am sure we would know them to be a liar. I look foward to working with the Red Vardo traders to make Barovia a better place for all of us, be we local or outlander.
Hopefully, in the near future a crafters guild will be set up, allowing us all access to the goods we need quickly and at a reasonable price. Anyone wishing to discuss such a venture is welcome to contact me at either the Ladies Rest or Broken Bell.
