[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 1280724, member: 118"] Iriana nods at Danwyn and Ys-Baddaden. "A bladesman and a modest giant, good, good." She turns to Pyrithanis and Osric. "And a couple of silent types...a warrior and archer, I would gather." "Very well," she says by way of transition. "I've summoned adventurers here to recover an item of great value to this keep. I would like to have dealt with it myself, but holding this keep is too important...and it seems that my efforts are required to maintain some level of order within the ranks of the soldiers here. It's been a constant battle between the colonel and sub-commander, and neither has been quite as professional as advertised when I hired them on. "Anyway. We took the Keep by way of a secret entrance that my studies had revealed. I should have known better than to believe it was the only one, though. Through the secret entrance, we entered the Keep and cleaned it out room by room. When we got to this chamber, however, I found that the Ebonring was missing." She gestures toward the pedestal in the middle of the lower section of the room. "Somehow, the rhodin got it out of the Keep. That means that some, perhaps many, of them escaped as well. I've been through this place top to bottom and still have not been able to find how they got out. "In the end, I don't much care how they got out. I really just need the Ebonring back. My studies show that it has magical properties that are vital to maintaining the Keep's defenses strong. If ever this place is to return to its role as the defensive focal point for the region, recovery of the Ebonring is essential. I would like you to find and deal with the rhodin and, more importantly, recover the ring and return it here." She pauses and looks at the party, as if trying to gauge their interest or reactions. "Yaren has some scouts in the Floating Forest right now. They're tracking what we believe to be the largest concentration of rhodin that fled from the Keep. Once those scouts return with their report, you should head out on this quest. "You're welcome to stay here for now. There is a room upstairs you can use if you like. I can provide any healing if you are in need of it. Feel free to ask questions or explore the keep, but try not to get in the way of the soldiers too much."
