The Heroes of House Tharashk

[Express]

Gulo goes off to Number 4 too, murmuring "Ill be glad when Lord d'Tornn arrives."

 

[Jarval]

Gamil quickly ducks back into his room, retrieving his gear. He follows after the others to suite #4.

"The local fauna seems unfriendly." He comments to his friends. "I hope we do not encounter any more chokers during our stay. It was surprisingly strong."

"Well, we'll try to make sure you aren't bothered anymore during your stay here at Huckabees anyway. Hruuk and Jonn will guard your suite for the rest of the night, by tomorrow I'll have a permanent guard set up for the rest of your stay."

As Bursak opens the door, you see two half orcs (probably Hruuk and Jonn) and a slightly rumpled young halfling waiting by the door. The young halfling introduces Himself as Sam Huckabee, apologizes profusely for the "trouble", and exchanges keys with all of you. Then you all troop over to suite #4, and get settled in. Bursak and Sam bid you a good night, while Hruuk and Jonn take up posts, one by the front door, and the other by the back wall of the suite.

The rest of the night passes uneventfully, and in spite of the disturbance the night before. Around 7am a note is passed through the slot in the door and lands in the small box beneath it. It is sealed with the d'Tornn seal, and is addressed to all four of you collectively.

Cazanjan inspects the note carefully and then looks at the others. "Would any of you like to take a look at it before we read it? Or shall I just get to it?"

Dox waits for the note to be read to the group.

 

[Jarval]

"Read it." Gamil says simply, still trying to fix a dent in his shoulder. He puts down a small hammer and listens attentively when Cazanjan starts to read.

Gulo looks at the note's seal. "Read it. I'm not exactly a man of letters, so I'd be little help at any rate. Hopefully its some word of our duties here."

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Cazanjan breaks the seal and reads the letter to the others.

Cazanjan d'Kundarak,
Dox,
Gamil,
Gulo the Hunter,

I thank you all for accepting my invitation to come to Zarash'ak to labor on behalf of House Tharashk. I understand that you had an unexpected visitor last night and were kept up late as a result, so I will not disturb your rest.

Myrta and her boat will be available to you from the time you receive this letter. Her family have been loyal and trusted servants to us for quite some time and she knows the area around the city well, so I trust she will not lead you astray. She will be in the tavern when you have need of her services.

I would be pleased if you would join me for dinner tonight in Huckabee's tavern at 6 this evening. We all have much to discuss, and I look forward to the pleasure of your company.

By the hand of
Lord Khundran d'Tornn
Sul, first day of Nymm, 998YK

Dox "Well it looks like we finally get to meet the boss, I can't wait to hear what we are doing here. How about you guys.
