[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 5363058, member: 29558"] After a week of rest and recreation, re-affirmations of faith and equipping yourselves, you make your way back to the Pinnace at the appointed time. Venture-Captain Pelligrew paces anxiously as you file in and find your seats. The normally gruff man seems somewhat on edge as he bustles about, offering you tea or other beverage and seeing you settled. Once everyone’s comfortable, the big man clears his throat and begins. [COLOR="DarkOrange"]“Well, lads, I think . . . that is . . . you’re ready for your first serious assignment. You’ve acquitted yourselves well in that business with the Black Echelon . . . in fact, that by itself might be enough to assure you a place in the [I]Chronicles[/I] . . . thereby proving that you can be trusted with an even more weighty matter. “Some of you, those particularly diligent in your studies, may have heard of a former Pathfinder named Eando Kline. Pathfinder Kline gained a bit of infamy a few years back when he discovered an ancient city of the Serpentfolk in Avistan’s Darklands. He became quite strident in his predictions and warnings about the rise of a new Serpentfolk empire, and the long and short of it is that he managed to step on more than a few toes.
