[QUOTE="Capellan, post: 404329, member: 6294"] [b]Amberdale 0 : "An Introduction to Amberdale" by PDabble Games - Part 4[/b] As the party walks across town to the Guard barracks, they see an elderly gnome putting up a sign. On inspection, this turns out to be a reward notice for the recovery of her missing cat. Astonished to read that the woman will pay 50 gold to get the animal back in healthy condition, they call out to her. "Oh, my poor Scratches!" she wails, in response to their enquiry, "I miss him so much! He's such a clever cat, but now he's been missing for days, and I'm really worried about him!" The group readily agree to keep their eyes open, though it is clear that their motivation stems more from the shiny gold on offer than any concern over the creature's welfare. Moving on to the barracks, the group quickly secures a meeting with Captain Jarrek of the Town Guard; a large, bluff man with a direct, no-nonsense manner. "So yer the folks Bill Parmer's makin' all that fuss about, eh?" his tone is warmer than the doubting words would suggest, "Well, yer look like yer might be able to handle yerselves, at tha'. I tell yer what, there's a ranger tower near here ... 'bout a half-day's walk. Apparently it's been overrun with rats and the local ranger don't have time to deal wi' it. He asked me to send some boys over to clear it out, but I can't spare anyone till after the Festival. So if yer interested, the pay is fifty gold." "Each?" "Are yer daft? It's fifty in total. It's only rats yer fightin'." Although the pay is not as rich as they would have like, the party heads out to the tower in the forest, keeping an eye out for any valuable cats on the way. They are keenly aware that finding the missing feline will double their reward for the day's work. It's a warm and pleasant day, and as they walk through the trees, the group's mood is light and jocular. "So if someone stole Scratches, would they be cat-napping?" Mantreus quips. "The furball's probably at the tower." Ulfgar mock-growls back, "Stealing our gold by killing the rats for himself." "Or maybe it was the rats that took him." Even the normally stern Padre seems to have relaxed, "They're striking a blow for rodent freedom." The group's jocularity fades, however, then the Padre realises that he has already used his full allotment of spells for the day, and that they are about to go into battle without healing of any kind.
