Join her glorious armies and ride to battle - for honour and treasure! All who choose to stand with the Queen of Summer today will be called her friends and allies. To war, my friends!

A new notice appears on the board in the Seashank, written on... what appears to be some scrap paper, in what looks like charcoal yet, written in an elegant hand: My friends! Did we all forget that we had a job to do? A prisoner is still missing and payment for his return still unpaid! The Countess expects our return with these supposed Zentharim Agents! I will meet you at the Shank, to review our leads! Beranwald Raegendar Von Grimburn III (A single paw mark in charcoal can be seen at the bottom of the paper)"

"On his way down to Daring Heights for the first time, Gegrun heard some rumours that an ancient temple sequestered in the hills had been overrun by some villainous brigands, or a band of orcs, or something in between. He realised he needed help to perform his divine duties and rid the temple of this evil, partly because he needed someone to tell him where the temple is. So with an unpracticed hand and all the fine motor skill of a hill troll, Gegrun raised his huge glaive up to the board and scratched the word 'TEMPUL' into the wood. After a moment's pause, he added 'HELP' to the end, and then ' - GEGRun' to the end of that, running out of space rapidly on the splintered wood."

Upon approaching and trying to placate the excitable paladin, try and get him to smoke some of that lovely pipeweed he favours so much, he blathers about needing to see someone called Daisy. Something about a dream? Nay, a vision? Ginead is quite firm on that point. A portent! Not imagined. There is something about a golden dragon in trouble, a bone dragon scything through the sky, and vines, endless vines, and hissing, and coldness..."
