The weeks go by so quickly that we find ourselves at another Tuesday where we meet the NPCs of this week and hear out Durkenstaff’s request. With the disappearance of their miners the people of need all the help they can get in finding their missing families as well as returning their villages main source of income. So let’s not keep the good people of Durkenstaff waiting and let’s roll into tonight’s adventure!
Durkenstaff’s Request
324TuDuRe
Durkenstaff’s request from Jandice
Greeting the party with a warm cup of broth and a chunk of bread she sits down at the table opposite them and explains the situation. “Its not just the income from selling the ore from the mines, its out family. We rely on them for protection as well as helping around the village. They are our strongest and fittest villagers and we will be lost without them.” she began, waiting for the adventurers to drink some of the meagre soup.
She gripped the hand of her son, Randal who stood next to her. “A week ago our miners went to work. They normally stay up there for five or so days and return for just as many to relax and help sell the wares. But on the sixth day when they didn’t return we sent out our hunters to go find them and bring them home. We thought they’d been attacked by wolves and bears and were holed up somewhere. But when the hunters came back they couldn’t find any sign of them. Surely they have missed something. I can’t believe that they would just vanish like that.” Jandice stood up and walked off towards the pot to stir it.
Missing information
Randal sat down in front of the party. “Jandice the wise is what the others call her. A healer of sorts but she doesn’t always listen to counsel. I’m Randal, Jandice is my mother. Without the villagers from the mine we wont last the winter. The others don’t want me to tell you this, they fear that you will run off and take what you want from the mine. But there was something strange in there. A new passage. Now I help the miners occasionally. escorting them back and bringing them food. They would have told me about a new mine.” he began, pausing to look around at the others in the hall.
“I fear that they entered the new passage and got lost. Or something. I know we don’t have much to offer but can you hear out our request? Durkernstaff’s request?” he paused for a moment. “I’d start with the mines. We searched the rest of it. I’ll talk to the villagers and mother. I’m sure we can make it worth your while if you’re willing to help us find our families.”
Thanks for dropping by tonight. This week I want to expand upon what type of rewards can come form quests and requests. Not everything is a bag of gold, a magical blade or ten fast horses. Sometimes its something much more. But to see that you’ll have to wait for the weekend. Even so don’t forget to come back daily for the rest of the week and as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
