After completing your examination of the tree house you bundle up your possessions and create a litter to carry your fallen companion, with Leonara and Stalker in the lead you head back towards Eveningstar following a faint trail that leads in that direction.
After an hour and a half of walking you emerge from the trail and reconnect with the main roadway between Eveningstar and Arabel, another thirty minutes of walking finds you within sight of the beautiful town of Eveningstar, playfully flying above the town a pair of young winged Tesseril engage in mock combat, while the sun begins it's stately march behind Eveningstar gorge.
Approaching the gates you're greeted by the familiar sights of the bustling town, the guards upon seeing you stare solemnly at the litter you're carrying, as you approach one of the guards steps forwards to speak to you "Captain Stern needs to speak with you straight away, I'll make sure your fallen friend is conducted to the Temple of Lathander, if you like"
In a dazed state you nod your acceptance and wearily heads towards the guards barracks to speak to Captain Stern, ushered into his office Captain Stern greets you warmly, his quick brown eyes flicker and note the absence of your companion Thyrd, as you enter you note the presence of a human male who appears to be in his early thirties, marks of a hard life are etched into his green eyes and show in the streaks of white in the strangers red hair and goatee, the man who Captain Stern introduces as Vardin is dressed as a common traveller and wears a well made rapier with familiarity at his side.
Motioning you all to take a seat Captain Stern looks at you appraisingly "Vardin is here on the crowns business to speak to you, but before we get into that, what happened to Thyrd and did you manage to deal with the bandits"

Even though you were refused entrance into the War Wizards, you are still seen as being too valuable a resources to throw away, but as most others refuse to work with you (due to Vardin's strangeness), and as Vardin prefers to work outside the ususal chain of command of the army, Vardin is sent on missions by the crown usually by himself but sometimes with others.
You have been sent by Lord Falzo Hawklin to find a group of adventurers to deal with a problem near Tilverton (aka the Black Crater), all you know is that bandits have been spotted within the stonelands, the crown has a large force of Purple Dragon's and War Wizards investigating and protecting the Black Crater, but due to the recent war, the crowns resources are stretched to the breaking point.
You have been a given a list of known adventurers in and around Arabel, you were sent to Eveningstar to track down the closest group of adventurers mentioned on the list, the aid of these adventurers is urgently required and you have been given a writ which allows you to requisition basic items (including horses) on behalf of the crown.
You have worked for Lord Hawklin in the past and know him to be a fair generous man, a tough fighter and a great tactician[/sblock]
