[QUOTE="TallIan, post: 6939174, member: 6853819"] [GM]Sorry to be pedantic about this but I can foresee a lot of confusion if I don’t clear this up at the start. There is a delegation from Mirabar, who set out around three months ago as a political mission to the region, they are the ones who are missing and no one has seen them in about two weeks. There is also an envoy who has been dispatched to track down the delegation, he is the one who was haranguing Harbuk and is available to talk to.[/GM] Camped outside of town are two caravans, each within their own defensive ring. Between them and the town is a much smaller campsite consisting of three tents, each capable of sheltering six people. Around a dozen horses are hobbled nearby, nibbling on the grass. As Erol and Ilvilious approach they are challenged by a dwarf guard who, after assessing that you aren’t a threat, takes you to see the envoy. He introduces himself as Agrathan. He is initially sceptical of your claims, thinking that you are just rogues looking for easy coin, but after some details convince him otherwise his excitement is evident. It takes some convincing from his escort that they should wait until morning to retrieve the bodies, but he starts to see sense and then volunteers some more information on the delegation. “The delegation represented a number of factions within Mirabar, all with trade interests in the south. It consisted of twelve nobles or high level guild members, each representing their respective faction interests, and was escorted by around forty five soldiers; shield dwarves, cavalry and archers.
