Somewhere in the Kingdom of Namwick
Its late summer (August 7th for those of you who keep track of such things), and the morning sun greets you warmly as you prepare to face the day. However, this day promises to be more unusual than the rest.
For as you dress, you hear a faint 'Poof' and sitting at your feet is a rolled up scroll, which seems to have materialized out of thin air. As you bend over to pick up the scroll, you get a whiff of what smells strangely like grape jelly. You quickly realize that the smell is coming from the scroll, and that it only enhances the feeling that this morning has taken a rather odd turn. Not that magical items appearing and disappearing is odd, given how many wizards there are roaming around and making a muckery of things, but rarely do these things fall at your feet.
The scroll reads as follows. Oh, and when I say Read, i mean it actually starts speaking out loud the following words.
"Greetings! Your assistance is requested in the hamlet of Garrick outside Hrothgar's Forest. The matter at hand is important, and the rewards are great! Please come to the BlackDog Tavern at noon tomorrow. Ask for Shaeffer Burrfoot."
As the scroll finishes the message, it disappears with another 'poof' right out of your hands.
As you consider this strange development, you realize that you know where Garrick is and that you can get there within time, if you hurry. The question is whether you will answer the summons or not.
