At some point in the mid-morning, somebody easily recognisable as a member of the Palazzo Estate's staff has made a delivery to the Governor's Office. There are quite a few items being placed here for the intended recipients, each item being a different size. Whilst it's clear as to where they came from, it's who they came from that's not exactly clear. That is, not until these items make it into the hands of their respective recipients:

" Three envelopes containing letters of gratitude, each with one name handwritten: Governor Ebon, Eregor, and Tenball; " A big basket filled with boxes of tea in various flavours, small bottles of honey (original, maple, and coconut), and lemon juice for Ebon; " Another basket with seeds for various plant, including flowers, fruit, herbs, hops, and vegetables, and a brand-new black and pink marble mortar and pestle and a book of homeopathic remedies for Eregor; " A brand-new brown leather messenger-style satchel filled with a blank journal, a matching pen, and some rare books written in Elven (don't ask what they say; the gift-giver doesn't understand Elven!) for Tenball.

Each letter is personalised to each recipient with special thanks from Reiko Souma for all of their voluntary assistance in putting an end to her four nights of fright: Ebon for facilitating the solution and research, Tenball for contributing with research and lending his strength, and Eregor for using the combined strength and efforts to cast the counter-spell to release Reiko from the nastily dark chaos spell that had led to the Red Dragon Inn's front window and nearly half of its bottled ales being trashed. Included in each envelope is a very generous amount of currency written on the cheques.

Finally, a fourth envelope can be found inside of the Governor's basket. This one contains nothing but the amount of money to pay for all of the damage that she did three nights ago...only tripled. Reiko felt that bad. Don't ask how much money she'a got to toss around either. Just know that it's enough to retire on. Very, very early.
