Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-32339712-20171105200129

You live your life as you do. Nothing really special happens, until one day, you happen to get a letter from Harpy Express. There is an official seal on it, but it is not from any of the known noble families in the Hold that you live in. It is also clearly addressed to you, so you open it as you would any important mail. Inside is a letter of inheritance, which is strange, as you don’t know anyone in your family that is of nobility. As you read the letter, it says that, due to unfortunate circumstances, your aunt has passed away, leaving you a large sum of gold, as well as three of her servants that can be of service to you as you see fit. It also says to meet with an Elf in a tavern at midday on the first day of the new cycle of the moon about your inheritance. To your luck, it happens to be six days away, giving you both time to decide and prepare, should you go to meet the Elf. However, as you have no knowledge of anyone in your family that is of nobility or of noble descent, this could very well be a scam, but at the same time, the way the letter was written, the seal, and the use of Harpy Express shows both a propriety and urgency that might actually be worth looking into.

What do you do? Do you go to meet the Elf at the tavern, possibly falling for a scam of unknown consequence, or do you deem this a scam and disregard the letter, possibly missing out on a large sum of money and three servants?
