The sceneryhere to the west of the Moonstone Hills is beautiful.Vast open lands of lush green grass and pictorialrivers set against the backdrop of hills never ceasesto take your breath away. A few miles to the northlies the vast arboreal expanse known as DarkwoodForest. Its southern borders can be plainly seen fromyour position, and at last the open plains are beginningto be broken up by clumps of trees and bushes.Night is drawing in and this looks as good-a-placeas any to camp for the night.After a good meal by the campfire it is time to set upwatch for the night. You are deciding who will takefirst watch when you hear a twig snap beneath aclumsy foot just outside your camp perimeter.Grabbing your weapons you take up your positionsin case of an attack. From the direction of the twigsnapping, a low moaning noise followed by the thudof a body dropping to the ground is heard. Slowlyyou walk over to the bushes from where the noisewas heard and pull back the branches cautiously.Lying on the ground grimacing in pain is a DwarvenWarrior clad in a Chainmail suit and open faced helmet.Kneeling down next to him you can see twoCrossbow bolts protrude from his armour-clad torso.Although the Dwarf is heavy, you manage to movehim close to your fire and stir it's dying embers backto life. The warrior lies there for a while moaningand groaning. He then sits bolt upright, eyes staringfixedly ahead and shouts,"I'll get them! I'll get them! Don't you fear, Gillibran, Bigleg is coming to bringyou the Hammer. Oh yes, indeed I am. Oh yes…". Heslumps back down. With half closed eyes he stares atyou and whispers," Help us. Take …the Hammer toGillibran. Only… the …Hammer will unite our peopleagainst the ……Hilltrolls. We were on our…way to Darkwood Forest to search for the…Hammer. Ambushed…… - others killed. The map in mypouch will take you to the home ……of……Yaztromo, the Master Mage of these parts. He…has great magics for …sale… to protect youagainst the…… creatures …of Darkwood. Take mygold. …I beg ……you to find the Hammer ……andtake it….. to Gillibran ……my Lord of Stonebridge.……You will be well rewarded."He opens his mouth to speak again but all that comes out is hisdying breath. Opening his pouch you find the map hewas talking about and if your position is correct,Yaztromo's Tower isn't too far away. Bigleg's moneypouch, which he asked you take and help theDwarves, contains 150gp...</blockquote>
