Want to get away? Paid employment offered by the High Captains! Where: New Red Dragon Trading Post When: Kythorn 20, noon (tomorrow!) Pay: 50 gp + possibility of a bonus! At the New Red Dragon Trading Post, Oxtieff Nedrunn spoke on behalf of the High Captains, requesting that a hardy group of adventures accept a commission to investigate reports that orcs are once again invading the Southern-facing range of the Spine of the World, the mountain range a week's march north of Luskan.  Each of you responded to the notice and were offered paid employment by the High Captains.  Oxtieff has promised 50 gold pieces to each of you for investigating the long-abandoned and ruined dwarven stronghold once known as Stonefast.  Oxtieff met you at the northernmost Illuskan gate last week as you set off for the Spine of the World with this parting advice, "Bring back the ears of any orc you slay.  The Cap'n's want proof o' yarn kills.  We'll give a 200 gold piece bonus ter each o' yarn, if'n you clear out the nest o' orcs in Stonefast.  An' anything you find's yarn ter keep.  No questions asked."Guran is the first to spy a small tunnel set high on the side of the Southern range.   With Guran pointing the way up the mountainside, the group treks upward several thousand feet into the alpine hills.  Patches of white snow dot the landscape.  The ground is hoary with frost this morning, but the sun glints fiercely off the rock, promising more warmth than the days prior on your weeklong trek from Luskan.To the south, everyone sees two brass doors.  The one on your right has been ripped from its hinges to the floor.  There are deep gouges in the metal that look to be claw marks.  The door to your left is intact, and covered in runes.  [ATTACH]65611[/ATTACH] Credit: Onaku, deviantart.com</blockquote>
