In the warm light of day, Governor Nighthill & other leaders want to know who was behind the attack on Greenest & why the town was a target.
The raiders retreated toward the southeast & their trail is easy to spot. A small, stealthy group could follow the trail to the raiders’ camp & gather information.
Governor Nighthill approaches the characters with a proposal: If they locate the raiders’ camp & find out certain information, he offers to pay them 250 gold pieces each. He wants to know where the camp is sited, how many raiders are there, who their leaders are, what’s motivating these attacks & where they plan to strike next. If characters recover valuables that were stolen from the town, he would like them returned, but he does his best to arrange a reward from what’s left of the town treasury. Recovering treasure, however, is a lesser goal when compared to the other objectives he brings up. The party agreed & began to prepare when a young man walks up to you, limping heavily on his
bandaged left leg....
" Hello I am Nesim Waladra. I am an apprentice
monk. I hear that you intend to follow the
raiders and see where they’ve gone. I’d like nothing better
than to come with you, but in this condition, I’d slow you
down. In the midst of all this tragedy, there's no reason
you would have heard about the fate of my master, Leosin
Erlanthar, but it’s important you know. He is a monk from
Berdusk. He disappeared last night, after we fought a
particularly savage battle against raiders. A few others and
I fought our way to the keep, barely. Leosin didn’t make it
at all. We went back this morning to look for him, but all
we found was his broken staff and this choker, which he
always wore. Leosin has been investigating these raiders for months.
I fear that he might have tried to infiltrate their group when
they retreated, or worse, was captured and carried away
as a prisoner. No one understands these bandits better
than he does, and his knowledge will be invaluable against
them. When you find their camp, please look for any
sign that Leosin is there. One of my brothers has already
departed for Berdusk to bring back help, but it will be
many days before help arrives. Anything you can do before
then would be a godsend.”
