So for the Guild\u2019s 2nd mission the local merchant\u2019s association knew who call on to solve a problem of bandits raiding their caravan\u2019s and then fading into the nearby swamp.<br><br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It wouldn\u2019t be glorious work \u2013 but thus are connections and reputation made \u2013 one adventure at a time \u2013 and so the\u00a0 Wolfkin, Catfolk and Elf trio were joined by a wandering Mallard, fresh from the coasts.<br><br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The trip was uneventful, no doubt due to the meticulous forehand planning \u2013 a trait all legendary adventuring groups had in common. The four arrived in the vicinity of where the scholar\u2019s research and information placed their target \u2013 at the ruins of a once famous tower, previously known as the Tower of Sighs and ruled over long ago by the Knights of Elidan. Now crumbling and rumoured to be filled with ghosts, but also said to still contain the fabled, crystal clear waters of the Fountain of Truth.<br><br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Easily spotted, the bandits were camped complacently on the hill by the tower. The Mallard, one August Tomenta, proved to be a formidable fighter in his own right. Between him, Bazaar the Wolfkin and Leda the Elf &#8230; the small group of bandits were quickly and quietly ended.<br><br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By far the most interesting part of this mission, was what happened next \u2013 the befriending of a Hill Giant blacksmith and the reopening of the way to the magic fountain below the tower.<br><br>The fountain was kept company by an alter of red stone, a broken statuette and mounds of bones. It would seem this was also the final resting place of at least one war band of Orcs \u2013 their banner still present mounted on the wall. [Note: Banner seemed to be for the Clan of the Grinning Wolf and was preserved as by magic. For now resting with the Outskirts Adventurer\u2019s Guild].<br><br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After determining the fountain still worked as legends told \u2013 enforced truth telling for a time \u2013 the group returned to Outskirt and brought the intelligent, friendly giant with them. It would seem Outskirts would have a new, armor smith and a very large protector.<br><br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Another successful mission accomplished. End result, a happy Merchant\u2019s Association and an adventuring Wolfkin merchant who now held the knowledge of said fountain &#8230; along with it\u2019s exact location.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
