get ready for your spotlight
I can wait a week.[sblock=Rev]
The group is about to have an encounter with a Hydra, to speed up your entry into the game, I'm thinking to have your character on patrol with a couple other hobbys and stumble upon the battle. Thoughts? Otherwise it'll take at least a week if not more to complete that combat + travel to the keep and they'll probably scout out, etc...
