Email over HAM radio would also work for text messages, but if you want to send photos or attachments you'd need a pigeon.
Cyber YukiHello, adventurer! Your quest is to hunt the eagle that lives at the top of Death Peak and retrieving one our data drives there. And if possible, the pigeon's tag so we can do a proper farewell.
Your reward will be 200 gold.
