Given the prompt responses of those in the room, Lord Pelspin grinned in spite of himself.
“My friends, sleeping quarters will be provided shortly, as well as any equipment and supplies you might need. Recovering the copy of the scroll-map is irrelevant. It only bodes ill because it means that others have the same information at hand that Puli has on the original scroll, and which he brought to me and which thereby prompted this quest. Whoever has stolen it in all likelihood will pursue the quest themselves, if they know what they have.”
The nobleman sighed heavily, the sound of a massive bellows releasing air.
“We are seeking artifacts of great power, great import. If found, they must not fall into the hands of the wicked. Puli’s scroll map points to the last known retreat of the Candle Mage of Javada.”
The last words were said with an almost reverent tone, and then the lord fell silent.
