    I overdid it on Drendle Dreng's eccentricity--I'm concerned it came off as rudeness instead. But here was my attempt nonetheless:





    A wide field of shattered weapons, barrow mounds, and mass graves surrounds the city of Absalom, a vast plain known as The Cairnlands. Rising from the war-torn earth like the grasping arms of the dead are countless siege castles, towers, and fortresses constructed over the millenia by would-be warlords who tried to take the great city and inevitably failed. Like forgotten monuments to failed conquerors, the siege castles of Absalom beckon the brave, the fearless, and the foolish with the promise of adventure and untold treasures, ever ready to create heroes or to entomb the fallen.

    Venture Captain Drandle Dreng summons you to his office. You find him in the middle of a meal. "Ah yes, come in come in." He says as he takes a moment between bites. He takes a gulp of wine and then smiles at you. "Ah, what a vintage. Thank you all for coming!" He says and takes another bite of food, gesturing for you all to sit down. "One of our agents, Balenar Forsend, brought a fortress in the Cairnlands to my attention recently--more of a tower really, but he liked to call it a fortress." He takes another gulp of wine and continues "I gave him permission to explore it by himself, but I haven't heard from him in a while now and I'm beginning to feel concerned. I'd like you all to check it out, find out what happened to him. You shouldn't have trouble recognizing him, he had a wayfinder after all. Of course, while you're there I'd like you to make sure the whole place has been explored." He takes another bite of food and then scribbles on a piece of paper while he chews. He swallows and hands the paper over to one of you. "These instructions should get you there. Now, out of my office! I have other things to attend to."
