After a short and uneventful journey through dilapidated roads and barren farms, your group of adventurers arrives at the town of Greensfen. In truth, 'town' might be a bit of a strong word to describe what you find there - abandoned homes, wandering beggars and signposts asking for help in finding the missing are to be seen everywhere. Your letter of invitation (and possible reward) specified the town hall as a meeting place, but you are hard pressed to identify it. The town center has no more than a handful of buildings, none of them much larger than any other.
Just as you are contemplating which doors to begin knocking on, you are approached by a tall man. He looks as though he hasn't slept in a long time. He eyes you warily, then sighs, relaxing his grip on his sheathed sword. "Well, you certainly don't look like you belong here, but I suppose if you were brigands, you would have caused some trouble by now. What brings you to Greensfen if I may ask? If you need a place to stay, well," he half laughs, gesturing to the abandoned buildings around him, "I'm sure I can find you a place for a small price."
As you begin to show him your letter, he cries out "By the Gods! You are most welcome to Greensfen, most welcome indeed! I did not hold out much hope that any would answer my letters. But excuse me, I have not introduced myself. I am Dardus, mayor of Greensfen. Well, blacksmith anyway. The official mayor hasn't been seen in two years, and I doubt we'll be seeing him ever again. He was a good enough mayor when times were good, but when the blight came..." Anger briefly flashes across Dardus's face, and he spits into the dirt. "Anyway, I have a small group of guards around town, but I cannot guarantee your safety even in the town center. Follow me to my smithy and I till tell you more when we arrive."
