Boltham listens to each of you and seems to relax slightly at the fact that you will hear him out and stay silent about this meeting.
"Hobbes, I understand that you want peace, however heroes are rarely afforded that which they most want. Instead they are called upon so that they can sacrifice what they want in order to do what the must." Boltam seems to have a hint of sympathy in his eyes and voice. However in a flash his eyes changes, his face hardens, you can see the military captain coming to the fore.
"Here is my proposal. I ask that you investigate a watch tower on the other side of the river, in the Mournland. The tower is roughly 200 yards back from the river & was once an observation post for our nation. However I believe that is is now being used as a jump-off point to attack and infiltrate this city. House Denieth beleive that the attacks are merely wandering monsters, however they do not know what I know. Hidden in the basement level of the tower is a sealed entrance to Khyber. and I do not beleive that this seal is still secure."
He spreads out a small map of the area and indicates a spot on the other side of the river directly opposite Karrlackton.
"The main objective is for you to eliminate the threat from whomever is occupying the keep. However, there is alo a chest in the officers quarters. This chest is eblasoned with the symbol of Cyre and houses an item that I would like to have back in Cyrean hands. This chest should be your secondary objective, if you find it please bring it back to me, however it is not worth your lives. I need the four of you in one piece more than I need that chest." He looks up "Any questions?"
