While the Strandlands has its fair share of elven citizens, we rarely have elven visitors here in Carnell. Are you two from Minar?" she replies. "And I am glad that monetary recompense isn't your group's primary reason for being here. It gives me hope for Carnell's future." "I thank you for your offered service, Halmar. You will be serving not only me but also the citizens of Carnell as well if we come to an agreement. If we do then you will have a chance to slay these monsters that trouble my people.""I admire your vigor and obvious strength, Quinn. We greatly respect warriors in the Strandlands. You shall have the opportunity to test your skills while here. Perhaps a sparring match between you and Sir Ebal could be arranged," Lady Pendour looks to her Guardian."I would be honored to fight a bloodless match if you are so inclined," the knight nods to Quinn. "I have some experience in the fighting circle. It will have to wait until after your mission, however. The harpies must be dealt with and quickly.""Of course," Lady Pendour says. "There is some urgency regarding the misison that I'm asking you to undertake. You will have just three days beyond today to find my husband's body and retrieve the item I need -- a special key that opens a sealed stone sarcophagus in the Pendour Family crypt."I'm sure you've heard by now that someone is blackmailing my family. They have threatened me and my children with death or worse if I don't hand over whatever is sealed in the sarcophagus. While I have no idea what is sealed inside, I worry that the blackmailer will use it for some evil purpose. With the crypt's key, I might gain some leverage against this person, whoever they are."Lady Pendour and her daughter walks gracefully towards a spiral staircase built into the north wall as she speaks to you all. The staircase is a solid wood construct that blends seemlessly into the wall. It was nearly invisible to the untrained eye until she and her daughter started their descent. By the time she is finished speaking, they have traversed the distance to the main floor and seated themselves at the table."I think I will choose you to undertake this mission if you agree to not only return the key to me but also my husband's body as well. You must also destroy the harpies and any other evil that infests the tower of Gurnard's Head."The coast is known for its crab-like sea spiders and other vicious creatures. My people speak of rumors of some great turtle-like creature that attacks boats, but I've never seen any proof of it. Still, I must caution you to be careful. The best way to the sea rock is by boat. You can get there by land but only at low tide. During high tide, you could become trapped on the rock, so be mindful of the time of day."No doubt the blackmailer has his own agents in this little drama, so you should watch your backs. I cannot even fathom who they might be, but I can honestly say that I trust the people of Carnell to be the side that frees our community from this menace. However, my late husband's uncle had many enemies. He was not a popular man in Carnell and someone might be holding a grudge.""I can offer you as much as 100 gp each once you've succeeded in bringing back the crypt key and my late husband's remains. You may stay at Gurnard's Arms for free; this will include meals and any other services that Rosemergy normally offers. I will recompense her for as long as you are on this mission. The library will be available to you from noon until dusk. Do we have an agreement?"</blockquote>
