The Thundering Mustelid
Far to the North there is a small village called Tipwo, a derivative of the orchish word for tip of the world. Only home to a mere 712 people the population is hardy and diverse and they look out for one another…or at least they did. On the first night of the winter season a merchant caravan made its scheduled pass through the town where they would pick up exotic furs only to find that the entire village had been abandoned ,though it seemed to have done so in a panic. The merchants returned to the Great City of Karrakhan with greater haste but their arrival was too late, the harsh winter blizzards had rolled in an an investigation could not be sent until the Start of spring a whole three months later.
King Altiun Decided that rather then send a squadron of Soldiers he would send his eldest Son Prince Caelain, notorious for his laziness, though he was not cruel so he would give his Son access to the royal coffers for this mission though only if he could convince the treasurer of each expenditures validity. Prince Caelain promptly worked with the treasurer to set a budget for supplies, a Fair amount to take with him to cover unforeseen expenses, and a hefty amount of gold coin to pay for adventurers to join him. Caelain also managed to convince the treasurer that a good sized donation to the Churches inquisitory branch would be a good idea in order to gain a cleric who could vet the Applicants and allow only those of pure intentions to join him.
With his final bit of coin from his own personal Coffers Caelain has rented out an entire restaurant where he plans to hold his recruitment processes. Finally he sent out an add throughout the entire kingdom a month before the scheduled meeting place the add Reads as follows
“Calling all Brave Adventurers. The Kingdom of Karrakhan has need of your services. an unknown fate has befallen one of its towns and the first prince will be venturing to find out what that date was and if it is possible to save the town. A sum of 5000 gold coins will be paid to each of four adventurers who will join the prince on his first quest. You will receive 500 coins upon successfully being chosen and another 4500 upon successful completion of the mission. Be warned however this quest will not be for the feint of heart and the contract may not be abandoned until completion under penalty of death.”
The messages would be marked with the royal seal and scattered all about the kingdom. Meanwhile the prince fearing his own death managed to actually stop being lazy long enough to train with a sword, though only for a month. The time has finally arrived for his quest to begin and thus he waits in the reserved restaurant,The Salty Croc, staying out of sight he watched as the many adventurers arrived to get the promised gold. Wondering if perhaps some were here for a bit more than the gold…
