What Adventure Awaits?

"izzint that place haunted? I guess we will find out soon enough. If the gates are to be shut soon, then we better get a move on."

Kaer nods. "I know the way, though it's a slog. Swamps and more than a few native nasties. I'm as keen as any other to clear up this atrocity. Between the normal hazards and the gobbos, it's not going to be easy. Any healing especially you might have bottled up would be a boon."

Kaer nods. "I know the way, though it's a slog. Swamps and more than a few native nasties. I'm as keen as any other to clear up this atrocity. Between the normal hazards and the gobbos, it's not going to be easy. Any healing especially you might have bottled up would be a boon."

"Haunted? Could be. The Cracked Bailey has evil in its history. It does often seem as if the past's evil attracts present misfortunes. The swamps around the Bailey can be dangerous enough, that's for sure." Gebbert chews thoughtfully on his bottom lip. "Bottled healing, eh? That only seems fair. If you leave in the morning for the Bailey, I can have an acolyte waiting for you at the Gold Tower Inn. He will have your bottled healing."

Kaer nods. "Much appreciated," he says. "Then if there's no more you got from that animal messenger, I think Berm's right. We should probably make sure we're ready for the trek."
 

The adventurous carnies meet at the Gold Tower Inn the next morning. A familiar face greets them.

"Good morning," says Sašo Viljem, "or, at least, I hope it proves to be a good morning in that you have success our your quest. Is that word appropriate? Quest? I think so. Has a nice heroic ring to it, don't you think?" The effusive halfling remembers the box under his arm. "Ah, but I ramble on and on, don't I? Brother Gebbert requested that I give this to you. He says it should prove useful, and do believe that he's right. Of course, Gebbert usually is. Right, that is. He's got a good head on his shoulders that one."

Sašo holds the box out. It is a small box, sturdily reinforced with bronze bands.
 

If no one steps up, berm will gracioulsy accept the box, "thank you, Sašo. You have been faithful in your assigned task" He opens it and .. .. .. ..
 

...inside is a folded bit of paper and a leather-and-chainmail gauntlet.

"Why thank you, Berm," says Sašo, "thank you. I do try, but, of course, trying isn't the same as doing. Although, I guess, if one doesn't at least try, one will never do. Perhaps that's a paradox, no?"
 

Berm reads the note, while half listening to the hafling, "not a paradox persay, just a linear train of action. If you never try, you will never do, if you try hard enough you just might do, but not hard enough and you won't do at all."

Kaer suppresses the urge to chuckle at the halfling's ramblings, instead leaning in to read the note over Berm's shoulder...
