[QUOTE="dimsdale, post: 6263521, member: 79956"] The human turns his head towards Leather to speak, but it is the cleric that speaks first.

For the last ten years he has been terrorizing the citizens of Daunton by organizing goblin hordes to kidnap folks who took the roads East and South of the city. They were held at ransom. It was one of these raids where the wizard learned of a powerful artifact in the possession of one whom was kidnapped. I sent a party of adventurers out to find him. Eventually the person and the artifact was found. However, the also learned that Vlastoes was also communicating with the dreaded black dragon Bosch.
