(Or whatever organization I decide they're working with.  I'm not actually setting this adventure in Ebberon so I'm kind of adjusting things on the fly, though some elements I'm using and modifying, at least in name).I'm looking forward to the meeting with Captain Kalaes, which should be especially interesting for the warlord character who has some personal history there.</blockquote>
