Eleasis the 5th, year 1479.
The morning after the attack, the town is in shock. Hogoblins, goblins, orcs and ogres had not only attacked the town, but had done so quite successfully. They had breached the walls, killed some citizens and apparently kidnapped 7 others, burnt property and stolen some items from a museum.F
Rumors are running wild as the small, now acquainted group sit and eat their breakfast. After a while, a guard appears and requests the group follow him. Councilmember Eoffram Troyas wishes to meet with them.
Arriving at his office, the half-elven councilman welcomes them and invites them to sit.
He stairs at you a moment, his fingers pressed together in front of him. I have to thank you for your assistance last night. That was a pretty major incursion by the goblinoids, who are making some claim to be the Red Hand returned. We took some damage, but it would have been much worse without your help.
He pauses. "I'll be blunt. I have a problem and I think you may be the solution. But I don't know you. You are new and town and quite frankly, we don't know your motivations."
Your group quickly moves to gain his confidence. You convince him that your goals and his match up well, that you are the right group for what he has in mind. You remember from history that the red hand had attacked 10 years ago. If they are truly back, this could spell the beginning of something major.
He finally nods and stands. We are missing seven people that we know of. Jalissa:
Jalissa is an acolyte of Ioun

He finally nods and stands. We are missing seven people that we know of. Jalissa:
Jalissa is an acolyte of Ioun
Sertanian: Sertanian, the castellan of the Hall of Great Valor
Thurann: The 8-year-old son of Kartenix the guard captain
Mirtala: A cook.
Zerriksa: Zerriksa is an elderly woman.
Adronsius: Adronsius the dwarven alchemist
Kartenix: Kartenix the guard captain.
Additionally, some items were stolen that were on display at a museum like location. There were artifacts... relics of the previous red hand battle 10 years ago.
Items stolen from the museum:
Ornate, gilded dragoncrest helm.
Ceremonial platinum longsword; too heavy and blunt to be useful as a weapon.
F Set of three shields with the Red Hand insignia, each with a charred hole near the center
F Set of iron gauntlets with extensive filigree.
F Heraldic battle standard depicting two hands clasped in a handshake.
Major Quest—Rescue
Rescuing the prisoners from Rivenroar amounts to a major quest. The PCs don’t earn the quest XP until the prisoners’ fate has been determined, and those still living returned to Brindol.
Reward: 500 XP (and 200 gp if the prisoners are returned).
Minor Quest—Treasure
Returning the stolen items described in The Treasure to Brindol results in the PCs fulfilling the quest conditions and earning the XP.
Reward: 100 XP (and the 200 gp promised in The Treasure).
If you are wishing to help, we have one hobgoblin we captured. Perhaps you can persuade him to provide additionaly information.
