You’ve been keeping your ear to the ground for a bit of paying work, and heard that a House Mikul merchant had passed along a request for adept help from a small settlement on the Serpent River. The merchant went back out on the road after resupplying at the House Mikul warehouse, but left the note with the quartermaster there, a dwarf named Jin.
Jin’s a friendly sort and keeps notes like this on a job board outside the warehouse office. You’ve taken to checking it out from time to time just to see if there’s anything you might be interested in.
Thing didn’t really say much, just that the village of Pavar’s Hill was seeking adept help with a problem with some birds that were preying on the local livestock. Seems the birds would tear into a sheep or goat, then leave it wounded. The animal would get pretty sick then spread the sick to other animals. The birds would swoop in and take the most wobbly for snacks and the farmers were pretty upset. They’d done some hunting but the things were smart, so decided to get some help n offer a reward [Standard rewards for ECL].
Asking Jin about Pavar’s Hill didn’t tell ya much; he’d heard the place was a newish settlement on the river. Some large ork n human extended family started it up; one of them is a really talented craft brewer. House Mikul buys their ale for resale and it’s pretty tasty. Hard to get in Throal since most of it winds up in Sosanopa. The note said to ask at a place called “Astendar’s Rest”. Jin said he thinks that’s the name of the tavern at the end of the dock on the river. Boats stop there ‘cause the food is good, the beer cold, and the locals friendly.
Pavar’s Hill (hex 45.06) seems a bit of a haul down river from Sosanopa (hex 38.06). Would be a bit of a trip if you decide to go check it out, hmmmm…..
