<strong>Characters in this adventure: Miranda, Lena, Roan, Caine, Varanos</strong><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/db/NLTaliaElf.png)</div>On the eastern edge of the city of Starfell itself, in the shadow of its Rim in the evening, is a large tended meadow dotted with thick goves that is often used by people seeking a day outside the hustle and bustle of the city, a place to relax and enjoy the cool air of the coast... as well as being popular with lovers due to those groves and hiding places within.  The morning  was one like any other until an elven woman came into the largest clearing, dusty and road-worn.  Taking a seat beneath one of trees, she rested a moment before she began watching others intently, approaching seemingly random people and saying a few words before heading further to toward the Rim, stopping in a small market perched against the carved stone of the Rim itself.  Scanning the scene, she climbs up onto one of the carts - swatting away the hands of an angry keeper, and yells.<br/><br/>"I am here to seek aid and will pay dearly!" she started, the word "pay" silencing many to pay attention, "Five of my trapping party were captured three days ago and I need help rescuing them."  Word of that kind of aid had most turn they heads and continue their business, having hoped it was a room or meal she sought.  But for some, this was not enough to discourage them.  "Please!  Find come to me in the meadow and I will explain more and promise you what I can as payment," she added, hoping down and tossing shade at the merchant who glared at her.  She was not as weak as one might foolishly think a woman was.<br/><br/>You make your way to the meadow and are able to find her fairly easily, perched against the tree and talking to a small dog that you now remember having followed her.  She sees you approach and greets you warming - even hugging those of you who would allow - and explains.  "We were hunting and trapping near the Ghostwoods when, yeah, we were trespassing, I'll not sugar-coat it.  We were set upon by the Solitudes there and they got my wife and her three brothers," he starts, her neck tensing at the thought of losing them, "And I want to get them back.  I don't have much, but I can pay you our profits when we get back and sell the goods.  I'll do anything," she starts, only to pause, "Well, almost anything.  Please, I'll do whatever it takes.  Just please help me get them, or at least their bodies for a proper burial."
