  I used this introduction for The Accursed Halls
  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
  
  The meeting with Aram Zey was brief as it was belittling:
  
  “Nice to see you weren’t all late this time… that’s at least is a welcome change of pace. As you know, for some unfathomable reason, I’ve been given the singular joy of pounding some education into all of you stone-skulled cretins. You’d think that being Master of Spells would grant me a certain pleasurable distance from neophytes as yourself, but well…. here you are…. in my office…. using up my air and wasting my time…”
  
  He shakes his head and gestures at the party uselessly, surveying the Pathfinders arrayed before him. “Now given that not one of you has the mystical talent of a Geb fruit fly, I’m afraid my standard lectures are wasted. Fortunately, I have something that both gets you out of my office and might actually teach you something.”
  
  “We’ve recently become aware of ruins found in the city of Thornkeep. Go investigate them because there’s probably a curious puzzle or something for you to solve. It will probably teach you a life lesson and you can come back and drone on about how you learned the true meaning of teamwork or whatever. The most important thing is you are out of my office and I can say I did my job. “
  
  Aram grabs a slip of paper and a bundle of paperwork from amongst the wreckage of portfolios, scrolls and files on his desk and regards the party, “Now because I know you’re ever so skilled, I’ll not make you do the usual investigation work ahead of time. Consider it a gift.”
  
  The bundle of paperwork contains the standard maps and travel accommodations you’ve gotten used to as Pathfinders on the road. The slip of paper contains a drawing of the Door of the Seven Stars, with a hand scrawled note pointing to the topmost circle, the text reading “Red Star?”
  
  “Figure out what that means and come back when you have something interesting to report. Oh, and don’t get yourself killed. I hate paperwork.”
