Outside the gates is a small collection of buildings, not called a village but it is one. Captain Zmythe was interviewing potential adventurers, his patience was growing thin as almost every bumpkin with a pitchfork had queued up. When the last adventurer had been seen he called together those he had chosen for the job, with a grim face he outlined the task at hand "the pirate One-Eyed Whalebone has landed a ship at Foolsport and has begun to make his way towards Nortonia, he has about one hundred men with him. He seeks to loot the treasure vault of Acridia, he also aims to take anything there that he deems valuable. Your job is to stop him, not by fighting him but by getting there first. Acridia had a number of powerful magical items in his vaults, he also had several vaults so your job might be harder than first thought. Looters and collectors have been in and sometimes out of here for decades, we know some of his vaults have been looted but the one with the items has not been opened" he said. Just then the door is opened and an elf is wheeled into the room, she is aged but not old for an elf "this is Ilyrana Shazowyn. She built the mirror portals for Acridia" he said as she was turned to face you. Ilyrana was once a good-looking woman, she now bore a scar across her face that had blinded her in one eye. Her left arm was withered but still worked, she had sustained a near-fatal injury to her left hip and her leg would not bear her weight any more. She spoke in a powerful voice that belied her frailty "adventurers, stealth will be your best friend. Fighting in the city will attract some of the more powerful demons or undead, there is at least one lich and there are a number of powerful demons that stalk the city who can fight with magical weapons and or use magic as a wizard or witch. If you have it, use the Silence spell as it will block out the sound of your weapons. Do not use spells that go boom, the whole city will be alerted to your presence. Good luck and may the gods watch over you" she was then wheeled out, the captain thanked her and then returned his attention to you "now, any questions"?
