Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ravellion" data-source="post: 603709" data-attributes="member: 538">Roland Goldsteel, Tristan, Wulf and Diactum: As you enter the relatively empty dining room, with only Governor Starke and his personal guard in there, he greets you warmly, and after several formalities congratulating you on recovering several items of great value on your last quest against the Hobgoblin warlord, and the amazing cache of protective items found in the mountain lair of Funoman the Abjurer, who had reportedly gone quite insane, he finally comes down to business. On the dining table you find a rather large map of the surrounding area."A bit more than a week ago a tax levying party under the crown of Amstrad was sent to the hills here." Governor Starke points the place, a village called Highloom, out on the map."It disappeared completely. So did the first party of four Knights we sent out to investigate. Hence, we need someone with a bit more skill. Therefore I want you four to investigate these troubles and report back. If you think you can solve the problems that are plaguing our taxmen, we will give you 900 golden crowns each to take care of your continuing expenses. There should be a chest with some already levied taxes, which is to be returned if possible." Governor Starke takes a sip of his tea before continuing. There is an added difficulty to this mission, or perhaps a boon. You will be accompanied by two other adventurers, who are under sentence to aid you to the best of their abilities. They were, and in a way still are, in a service of a lord from Corum named Kulvan. Their crime is unimportant to you, but you should note that they might be dangerous. If they at any point in time prove to have switched allegiances, regard them as enemies of the crown. However, I don't think it will come to that point, and you will actually welcome some of their abilities to add to your group. If you have no further questions, they will be in the Crusaders Arms Inn an hour after noon, where you should try and become acquainted in order to form an effective group."</blockquote>
