A man in silver-gilded armor ducked into the Broken Bell one night after he'd been caught in the city after dark. Deciding he needed a bit of rest and relaxation he decided to spend the night when he saw the note. While drinking and eating the night's special he wrote out one of his own.
"Ain't no fencer, but I may be able to teach you a thing or two about combat with bladed weapons. If you can't beat me in a fight three times in a row, I'll teach you what I know. If you can beat me even once, I have nothin' ta teach ya. Look for a man in silver-gilded plate with a red cloak and a greatsword. My name is Cyril."
