Showdown

Introduction

Look, I don't know who you really are, but I've heard many stories about you and, seeing all the equipment you are carrying, half of them must be true. The city council is willing to pay you a large sum if you track down the criminals and bring the councillors back safe and sound. What you do with the criminals does not concern us.

Cunclusion

It's too bad you were unable to rescue both the councillors, but I'm sure you did everything you could. Here is your reward and the thanks of the city council. You can count on my support, and surely that of the survivor, if you need the city council one day.
