Dear Captain Marin,
As of this morning, the Masque of the Grotto, was revealed to be a plot to entrap the power brokers of the southern lands be they merchant princes, nobles or sea captains. By foul magic, the northerns were entraping guest with both drug and magic and overwhelimg their minds. The most common creatrue that was discover and one that i have never heard tell of was a singing undead (possible called a Vacaral) whoes touch drained their victum of wisdom. I witnessed numerous dead at the hands of these creatrues and was able to free several indiviudals from their grasp once their plot was unmasked.
Information develope places the blame at the feet of two brothers from the North. One of these brothers is now dead having been slain by his masters for the failure of their plot while the other brother remains at large. I do not know their names at this time but will attempt to find out and will forward the information once it is discoverd.
Deep in the forbidden rooms of the masgue, an evil altar was discoverd upon which foul and unclean magics had been worked. The altar and it's attending block of ice were desttroyed. Additionaly numerous foul singing beasts were killed and perhaps their power and numbers severly lessened. A most unsual reference was made. The word "Torroth" came up in connection with the death of the brother and i will begin to search for references of it soon.
It is with heavy heart though that I must report that no sign of your son was found at the masque. He may still be at large here at Mermaid's Rest and I will try to further information developed based upon that belife. Consider it a blessing that he was not found at the masque as he may have well been a victum to the foul craft practiced upon that altar.
On a happier note, I wish you to know, that it is thru your commissioning of myself and my party, that the lives of numerous innocents were saved last night. As mentioned earlier, several people were rescued from the foul clutches of the undead and I was able at several points to rally the patrons into fighting back against the undead and was able to warn many others of the danger and help the escape.
While at the masque, I did observe both Mssers. Rook, Radoon and your niece attending. Master Rook was helpful in assissiting me in rallying the quests at one point in the theater but I can not say as to the actions master Raddon or your niece performed as they left the area and shut a door. Of Captain Morwyn there was no sign.
As more information becomes available i will pass it along to you. I hope this letter finds you well and that your spirit is made happy in knowing that the reveng of Honager Marin is just now starting to be felt by those who have wished him and his ill.
Your obdient servant
Michael Storm.
