Kurt the Purger
[sblock=For Legildur Only]
Kurt has ridden hard for many days, south from the Furyondian capital of Chendl toward the small thorp of known as the Village of Hommlet. With a writ from Patriarch Thanden of the Church of Heironeous on behalf of King Belvor IV, Kurt has been tasked with aiding a covert group that was sent south more than a week before him to investigate rumors of evil returning to the Hommlet area. Fears that the once-thought-destroyed Cult Of Elemental Evil may again be practicing their vile religion of chaos and evil in the region prompted the crown to ask the church for additional aid, and the church responded by assigning you to the task.
While the way south has been rough, ridden with rainy weather, muddy roads and even a run in with local bandits, Kurt has made good time and is relieved to see the brambles and shrubs give way to field and orchard. Soon after ,the cleric spots a small herd of kine grazing, and a distant hill spouts a few wand stone chimneys with thin plumes of blue smoke drifting lazimly into the sky. Ahead, wood and stone buildings begin to dot the road to either side...the village of Hommlet at last.
Making his way to the center of the village, Kurt is pleased to see a large wood and stone building with a square wooden sign showing a buxom and smiling lass holding a flagon of beer. This must be the Inn of the Welcome Wench, which every merchant Kurt has questioned having made a point of mentioning for its excellent food and hearty drink. After paying the stableboy to look after his mount, Kurt retires to the taproom for the evening. A mug of cold ale and plate of stuffed trout is the first good meal the cleric has had in days.
After finishing his meal and leaning back in his chair, Kurt is surprised to see a group of what can only be seasoned adventurers enter the inn. They consist of a dwarven warrior, a pudgy halfling, a beautful female warrior, two human males in light armor, and a heavily armored human displaying the blazing lightning bolt of Heironeous about his neck. Could these perhaps be the heroes Kurt has been sent to assist? After a quick discussion with Ostler Gundigoot, the proprieter, they sit down to dinner at a nearby table.
