- Mission
- Prince Querkus was explicitly charged by Her Serenity, the [Elvish] Queen of Lilac to hire a guild party to swiftly “REDUCE†a hazard that “might†hazard. Her western neighbour-slash-nation, the self-styled “Militant Human Republicâ€, which also includes many native hobbits as well as shape-shifters [a.k.a. Vess’n or Wessen], … and quite a few of H.S.’s loyal subjects merely out for a wild night, week, or month of gambling, drinking, masked carnivals & other revelry… such as meeting or getting new faces professionally, getting cash or bargains from “pawn shopsâ€, etc.
The Queen was impressed with the previous Guild party that incidentally somewhat foiled the Ice Giants that were plaguing towns in the M.H.R. Also, the Ice Giants created the new, permanent (?) icecap at the Southern Pole.
- The “Nothing-In-Writing or acknowledged (wink-wink) solutionâ€
The current leader of the Ice Giants (Eyjafjall) plans to CROWN HIMSELF King of the Giants to transform him into a powerful Fire Mage … also, apparently, he will marry a grand-daughter of a famous, great but dead Fire Giant (Katla)
Those Grand-daughters, from oldest to youngest are called: 1. Thingvallavatn (the most beautiful & socializing of the grand-daughters) 2. Fjallsarlon (meaning the Fallen — she is acknowleged to be “very experiencedâ€) 3. Thorisvatn (meaning Very tranquil) 4. Viti (meaning 'Very warm') 5. Kerid (the youngest)
IMPORTANT OFFICERS/COURTIERS of soon-to-be King Eyjafjall Myvatn the Beatiful, a famous alchemist & first cousin to all five would-be brides. Jokul the Master spy: Allegedly "Jokul knows several succesful Assassins†(An unsubtle threat!). It is rumoured that Jokul can freeze things and people just by looking at them (It would be advisable to have a way of defeating or, at least, minimizing such an event. Lagarfljot the Magician & “Bestest Master Brewerâ€: strongly suspected to be yet an other powerful alchemist. The curative effects of his various beers may be mythical.
The Party must ensure that the wedding (or even weddings, plural?) NEVER Happens.
According to Prince Querkus’s Sage, “the best way to prevent the ill-omened wedding is to permanently prevent the marriage. (Well, duh!) — It is assumed that means Kill the pretender & his Princess-bride(s) and, just to be safe, any other heiresses as well; then scattering all the resulting mincemeat across several planes and worlds
