<div align="center">(http://cfile25.uf.tistory.com/R750x0/14246E134B1E805F9D1BC9)</div><br/>In a town called Birkwood there was tavern known as Bronze Mug (http://castlesandcooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Typical-Tavern.jpg), it is run by a couple Birth (http://blog.mindblizzard.com/uploaded_images/innkeeper-704650.jpg) and Bertha (http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/276/6/b/innkeeper_female_by_delira-d4bpg6g.jpg) Barrelrows (locals have some weird fascination place B always as first letter to any name). Bronze Mug is quiet in evening but it later gets crowded as farmers from fields and other workers come in to drink, socialize and then go homes to their wives.<br/><br/>Birkwood is farmer community known in local region for their fine pipeweed which is imported even to bigger towns. So during trade seasons (like right now in summer) it is busy place and merchants travel regularly through the town for resupplies bought from farmers (feeds for horses, drymeats, fruits, repair wagon wheels etc). However today was bit unusual day from norm as in tavern resided pair of adventurers who had placed even add besides tavern's door (with permission of Birth, for sake of advertise and getting more customers today).<br/><br/>The pair were looking<em>more</em>adventurers to round out their group! For some 'holy quest by the church of Pelor' which apparently would pay well. One was a red haired female warrior (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=210234.msg10334847#msg10334847) and another a red and black dressed androgynous humanoid (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=210234.msg10331611#msg10331611) which kept hood up over it's head and had red veil mask over it's face. Sounded femine so she is preferred as 'she'.<br/><br/>So far only curious townsfolk had met them but no other adventurous souls coming to meet them. But Birth is happy as advertise was besides main gate of the town so merchants and other travelers had came check out the adventurers. Not many come these parts anyways so they are a kind to a tourist attraction. However few villagers were nervous and were talking over their mugs quietly in corners. Few whispered about<em>"What lord Blackwill would think about this? Did not his soldiers say they wished townsfolk report any adventurers coming to the town?"</em><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rose of Scarlet Steel only</div><div class="spoiler_body">The 'job for church of Pelor' is to investigate Blackwill and necessary if possible eliminate (kill him) if he is follower of dark faith. As bishop of the church contacted you weeks ago that they had send young acolytes to the town to preach faith of Pelor and they haven't returned. Divinations had revealed Blackwill was involved and that he possibly is servant of darkness or dark forces. But considering nature of chance divinations being wrong, you must investigate first about the case before smiting because Blackwill is rightful lord (even if circumstances of his ascension through 'honorable duel by combat' were fishy at best compared former lord who was not anyway warrior type. Blackwill had also paid tributes to crown what was needed so he was officially noble if not noble born for it. He came to picture two years ago and he runs own militia in local area (and banned towns/villages in his care run militia which is unusual but not against law).<br/></div></div>
