'It's the little spirits. Spirits of the dead. They've been coming after our patrols, throwing stones at our helmets, knocking our legs when we're not looking. It's bad for morale. Some of the guards are scared to patrol now, for fear the spirits will get more violent and do worse.

'I've been leaving food for them, little offerings over the past few weeks. It seems to have mollified them. But now I've been stationed here and I'm not to leave or go on patrols for a fortnight or more. I'm worried the spirits will start growing agitated. Could you leave food for them, in my stead?

'I know it seems a mite odd, but things have gotten more peaceful in the past few weeks. I can mark the locations down for you. Can you help?'
