From the Surgeon's Personal Log 3

The Lieutenant and I continue Southwest in our attempt to intercept the courier who bears the stolen packet. We are both filthy and exhausted from our journey as there as been a good deal of rain of late.

We have discussed it amongst ourselves, and are both of a mind to pool our funds and stay in a nearby tavern, but have discovered the critical flaw in our plan is that we have very little in the way of what would pass for 'coin of the realm'.

While I suspect that the people of this area would take any of the money I have in my pockets, I do not wish to raise too much suspicion with foreign coinage.
