Enter The Lady Sunshadow
As though on que to everyone's anticipation the door to the tavern opens and you see the Lady Sunshadow enter but though it appears her attire remains the same physically she appears to be at least 30 years younger than she looked when you first met.
With a warming smile she approaches the table where you have all gathered and says "Please excuse me for being late and do not be alarmed to my appearance, that is one of the reasons I have gathered all of you here...Please have a seat and I will tell you my tale and what it is I ask of you. Also, Frick could you please bring me a glass of wine. Beaming with apparent pride Frick quickly pours the Lady her wine and sets it in front of her. She then sits at the head of the table and begins her tale...
"As you each can see I appear younger than I did when we met earlier today, that is because I was cursed by a dark sorceror's dying words for having slain him in magical combat. You see I was once part of an adventuring troupe who traveled to far lands in search of only one thing, new challenges! During this time we were able to help many people who could not help themselves and one of those times was when we took it upon ourselves to free the town of Deepingdale from the grip of a dark and foul sorceror whom delved into the dark arts of necromancy. Though he took the life of one of my companions we deafeted him and since I had turned aside his many advances upon me the sorceror Kordel cursed me to forever appear as old as a human my own age than as I would look as a half-elf...sighs...Through his magical aptitude my comanion a cleric of Pelor was able to partialy lift my curse but only to the extent of having it affect me from sunset to sunrise...thus my name bears my curse for only in the sun's shadow will my true form appear. I have been told by a powerful diviner that an ancient magical mirror, a lost hierloom of my human father's ancestors,will break the curse but I have not the stamina nor quickness of age to retrieve it from my families ruined tower. Now here is the difficult part I can provide you with a map of the surrounding area but the actual location is lost to times past, through much research I have been able to narrow it down to the surrounding areas of where the Mist Lake pours down from the Cairn Hills east of Greyhawk in the Mistmarsh. On foot you should arrive to the area within a week dependant upon weather of course. The Mistmarch is home to roving bands of zombies in search of flesh to devour, leftover remnants from battles long ago I suppose. Also be wary of the area surrounding the Mist Lake proper as I am told many lizardfolk have settlements scattered around the lake. The tower you seek is said to be made carved from a single piece of stone and to the untrained eye will look like a rocky outcropping to better blend in with its surroundings. Though I am loath to say it but I know not the condition of the tower or its contents...I hope your quest will reap us both many rewards but I want to let you know upfront I can promise no other treasure than your payment of 50 platinum crowns and magical potion as I promised you earlier. If the tower remains intact then I am sure their are more treasures to be found other than the mirror I seek, which you may have for yourselves for it is only the mirror I want for myself. The mirror itself is said to be made the size of a medium shield and is said tobe imbedded in mytral with studs of diamonds surrounding it's actual surface which is described as a glowing reflection of truth...I have only old scrolls and tomes to gather this information so I pray you are able to find the tower and the mirror and make it safely back. Now what questions may I answer for you as I am sure you may be perplexed ?"
