The Search for the Emerald Eye
Quickleaf has learned that the thief of the Emerald Eye is also the same necromancer who destroyed Willow's grove. The pair now find themselves approaching the human village of Meviiran.
Close to Home
Praeden Veeth, Meviiran's Barber and defacto leader, has called a town meeting, with both Torban and Vintar in attendance. The aging fellow strokes his neatly trimmed salt and pepper beard and calls the meeting to order, "I have received word that the Duke is sending what help he can. In the meantime, everyone please stay in your homes at night. Don't try to be brave." He gives Torban a knowing glare.
Heeding the Sovereign's Call
Duke Alastair Silverlight has issued a call for volunteers to make the difficult journey to the Village of Meviiran, far to the north. Word arrived a some time ago that the village needed assistance with undead attacks. The Duke cannot spare any troops and so has asked that anyone capable of wielding sword and spell answer the call.
Niimyr's newly acquired contact in the local thieves guild alerts him to the call, urging both he and his brother to seize the opportunity. Perhaps to get the ambitious young drow out of his territory, but, nonetheless, the opportunity for profit is too tempting to pass up.
Thorn hears from her own contact that the Necromancer she has been tracking may be behind the undead problems in Meviiran.
Lal and Harb answer the Duke's call for their own reasons.
As it happens, Dandin was set to travel north anyway for a lucrative trade deal and could certainly use a few good guards to protect his cart and goods.
The Village Meeting
By coincidence or fate, a pair of wood elves arrive in Meviiran at about the same time as a halfling merchant and the volunteers from the Duke. They find the village curiously quiet until they realize that the villagers are gathered in the Church of Erathis, the largest building in the village. As they enter, a man with a neatly trimmed salt and pepper beard stands at the head of the gathering, "Ah, the Duke's people have arrived!"
The villagers turn to regard the newcomers, some hopeful, others suspicious. The town leader continues, "Friends, friends, simmer down. We'll need a couple of volunteers to guide the Duke's people to the Barrows." Meanwhile, the drunken priest, who has fallen asleep, nearly tumbles out of his chair, forcing Vintar to stand to prop him back up. The town leader smiles, "Ah, that's one! Anyone else?' His eye once again falls on Torban.

Eyeing the town with a disdainful look, Eolais eth'Huran – Quickleaf, for short – quips to Willow, "Of course such a short-lived race would give birth to a necromancer fixated on death. I've passed through human villages before. Just follow my lead." He gives a confident wink, one which Willow has likely learned to be wary of in their brief travels together.
