Returned from Shevnia
In reply to Dionysus Dispatha (msg # 99):
"My friend Oren was just saying that he has a letter, from the Baroness of Veroigne, a woman named Lorraine PĂ©quenaud. Apparently her brother is a knight, and married her father's captain of the guard, and they came here to seek their fortunes. I think that they would be ideal for this, but her husband, Baron Marcel PĂ©quenaud specifically does not want them back in Veroigne, apparently because they were loved by the people, and he is not. In any case, a lot of the men at arms departed the barony rather than work for the new baron, who is now barely holding on to the place, and cannot spare folk to hunt down some monster that has been raiding the farms. The purse is meager, really just a few days at scale for whoever hunts the thing down, but I know there is an abandoned castle near there that lost everyone to plague, and may never have been plundered. I thought this might be worth looking into.
A sword dancer, you say? I am Kirpich, a priest of Grom, and this is Balir, a Dwarven warrior, and Syvanos, an Elven archer. Aethul the ranger expressed some interest as well, and Molag is a blade for hire if we need him or he wants to joins us, but I am not sure. Someone skilled with traps or the arcane would complete our group nicely."
