The message comes by carrier pigeon actually, which is a pretty weird way to deliver a message but of course, it's thematic. A very pretty looking brown pigeon swoops down out of the sky to wherever Damian just so happens to be that afternoon and holds out its leg. The message is short and simple:
Got a job for you. Meet me at the farm at dusk. No show, no job. Keep it a secret, rewarded very well.
- Hal
P.S. Burn this.
And that's it. Of course, if Damian chooses to listen to the message, he will find the Sheriff at the farm at dusk, chewing a piece of tobacco and watching the sun set. He'll be greeted with a tip of his hat and one word:
"Bounty."
And then he holds out a small notebook. Looks like Damian's been chosen for one of those roles that were mentioned. Good luck.
From what? Murder? [Damian scoffs, but his hand did tighten on the handle of the hatchet.] That happens even when you're here. In fact, it happens because you're here.

You think you'll come back, but what if you don't?

I always do. It's a constant thing. But I said, what, 48 hours till I come back? I can bump it up, make it 72. 72 hours without supervision.
[ He whistles, long and low. ]
