Mission

Grizelda has gained access to a mysterious island. Only she doesn't know where it is. She'd like you to explore the island and it's environs. She can provide a base of operations (she's been busy tidying it up and fetching bedding and so on from Seagate). She will be able to provide a variety of buffs (rune cookies and so on). For payment you get loot, and she'll give you all rune tattoos (assuming you don't have them already). The Guild will chip in with a weekly stipend. Oh, and Grizelda is a master chef.

Commencement of Travel

We have been retained by Grizelda, a warrior of clear experience and firm bearing. Two years past, she inherited an island and now seeks knowledge of it. She commands a powerful gate—an art beyond my understanding—which allows passage to a fortress upon that island.

The immediate area by the portal have already been surveyed, yet she desires that we explore the land itself and determine its true nature and position. The island lies within Alusia, though at a great distance from Seagate. When the sun rises over Seagate, dusk falls upon the island. This unsettles me; distance should not twist the heavens so.

Grizelda, a master of the Rune College, will reside in the island fortress and will place powerful magics on us. I do not fully grasp this craft, but her confidence suggests long practice. In return for our service, we are to receive two hundred silver pieces per week, and may claim any treasures discovered upon the island.

We spoke at length on matters of command. Briar, who carries herself with calm authority, was chosen to lead. Vath, a veteran of many battles, will advise on strategy and the ordering of troops. This structure is sound; a blade cuts best when its edge is guided. The remainder of the day was spent in preparation—checking arms, provisions, and resolve.

At first light the next morning, we gathered before the gates of the Mercenary Guild. Grizelda led us beyond the city, into quiet woods where few paths run. There, in a place deliberately hidden, she performed her art. With gestures and words unknown to me, she opened a gate in the air itself.

We stepped through.

In a single breath, the world changed. We stood among ancient stones arranged in a wide circle, set within an open field. The light, which was moments ago early morning, is now dusk.

Grizelda guided us to her fortress. It lies beneath the earth, shaped by magic rather than stonecraft. Its doors do not exist until summoned, appearing only when called by her will. I find this deeply unsettling—things that are and are not, at the same time. We locate rooms within the fortress and settle into rest the night. The earth above us was silent, and the walls did not breathe, as living stone is said to do, and sleep came slowly.
