[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 8233277, member: 7015827"] As the four adventurers were coming to agreement on taking the guest house, a tired-looking man dressed in monk’s robes and carrying a staff walked into the room, announcing that he was seeking Jandrico Swift. Jandrico came out of the kitchen and identified himself, as the others looked curiously at the traveler. Looking both exhausted and relieved, he explained that he was seeking a brother of his order, pulling out a note and showing it to the innkeeper. At this point Darrow lost interest and returned to inhaling his griddlecakes. Jandrico, while reading the note, saddened and said he was afraid that Brother Veran has passed on to his Judgment, as he believed they put it. The monk traveler indicated that this was sad news indeed, although not unexpected. He explained that it had been two months since the message from Veran had been received, with nothing further. Brother Millerjoi, the head of their order, had therefore dispatched him to determine what had happened. Shanni and Dermot appeared intrigued by the turn of events, as Jandrico looked over to Aerikoth, mentioning that the wizard had been one of Brother Veran’s companions, for a time. ([I]It is with great anticipation that I see the Order introduced again as an actor in this drama, including the prospect of obtaining more detail on Brother Veran's legacy. It is heartening to see that they did not give up on him, despite his already having passed on to his Judgment. --C[/I]) Aerikoth said that he could inform the traveler of what had happened to his monastic brother, first asking his name. In response, the monk gave formal greetings to Aerikoth, stating that he was Brother Vendalus, of the Order of Kelemvor in Archendale. Aerikoth rose and took up his staff, as Vendalus offered to show them the message by way of explanation, fumbling a little for it before placing it on the bar table. He explained that Brother Veran and his companions had defeated an ancient lich, yet it seemed that the task was not fully completed, when the note was scribed and sent.
