Introduction
Following the signing of the treaty in Tenh, the 14th squad of the 100th regiment was discharged. Its members having seen little combat returned home happy that the war, at least for them, had been short. Magus returned to his monastery to reconnect with the balance in universe. However, his peace not to last.
“Brother Magus, a page is awaiting your presence in the courtyard.”
Brother Magus rose from the cross-legged position, and followed the messenger to the monastery courtyard. It was Spartan setting, a few trees, a bench, and some sunlight. On the bench sat a page bearing the silver and yellow symbol of Pelor on his tabard. Magus knew the symbol well. His brother had taken a different path and risen to high place among the Brotherhood of the Sun, a devout group of warriors. The shock troops of Pelor's army, currently fighting Iutz in the North. Magus had heard that the Brotherhood had some disagreement with Pelor’s high priest, and had been officially disbanded.
“I apologize for the inconvenience, sir. Your brother sent me to deliver this letter.” The page said holding out the paper.
Magus took the paper. It was indeed sealed with the crest of the Brotherhood. Breaking the seal, he read the paper:
May Dear Brother,
It is with the deepest anxiety that I must call upon thee to render service to my order. As out intelligence indicated The Beloved of Pelor intended to imprison all members of our order, seize our property, and confiscate our treasure., I commissioned two of our most fiscally sound priors to carry our treasury to safely in two disparate directions, One prior has successfully established a sanctum for our order in Greyhawk with the funds which he was entrusted. The other, in most despicable shame, has disappeared with our gold. With heavy heart, I must ask you trace the whereabouts of one Austin Calmet, A provisional Prior of our order, who was dispatched to Apple Island near Muffin’s Honor to found a pace of refuge for our brothers. Find him, I beseech you. Seek him out and compel him to repent and return the treasury of our brotherhood. Failing that objective, condemn him to the one we worship and dispatch his soul to that dimension of eternal agony he deserves.
His Grace
Theobald of Aquitaine
Master General/Soldiers of the Sun.
Looking up from his letter, Magus said, “It seems your order has a problem.”
“Your Brother, the General, has commissioned passage aboard a small vessel for you and any assistants you may have in four days. You should board the Midnight Sun in Greyhawk. It will drop you at a secret location, where I will be waiting to guide you.”
Nothing like waiting from my reply, Magus thought. “I’ll be ready.” He dismissed the page and returned to his closet. Sitting at the small desk, he drafted letter to his former comrades from the 14th squad: Sir Jebidiah, the cavalry officer; Olivia, the sorcerer; and Megena, a druid.

OOC. The cast is as follows:
Sir Jebidiah, Ftr 1, played by 11 year old boy (my kid)
Olivia, Wiz 1, played by 10 year old girl
Magus, Monk 1, played by 13 year old boy
Megena: Druid 1, played by a mom (33), and her hawk animal companion, played by a 9 year old girl.
If this seems familiar, this adventure was printed in Dungeon (the number escapes me now), called Provincial Prior Cause, written by J. Wilson.
