| − | The Talik Region bordering the Kingdom of Alef is prime territory for industry, trade, and adventure. Alef has gotten quite rich off it, but lately operations and their cut of the profit has been reduced.

| | | | |
| | It wasn’t long, then, before the King of Alef, King Alhat, made a call to heroes and wizards he thought would be capable of dealing with this issue. A Royal messenger hand delivered a letter to you with the royal seal of King Alhat. After a letterhead and greeting full of pomp and flourish, the letter went on to say: | | It wasn’t long, then, before the King of Alef, King Alhat, made a call to heroes and wizards he thought would be capable of dealing with this issue.

| − | === Points of Interest, as described by King Alhat ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A: The Riverbed
| |
| − |
| |
| − | “Travelers making trips to Westrum and Avell Peak have noticed part of the Parrion River has dried up. Upstream there is more river, but over the last few weeks the dryness has progressed further.”
| |
| − |
| |
| − | B: Forest of Giants
| |
| − |
| |
| − | “We know that the Giants that live in this valley have been approached by a wizard who didn’t identify himself. The Wizard wanted them to join forces with him for some military expedition, but they refused.”
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The giants live in a forest with oversized trees, oversized wildlife, and have big cottages.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | C: Raiders
| |
| − |
| |
| − | "We have the most contact with Lemark's Ferry, Twin Riverpeak, Fairy's Gold, and Forestlake. Lemark's Ferry has not experienced raids, but that is not where the iron is. Twin Riverpeak, Fairy's Gold, and Forestlake have all been hit badly by raiders. They have come from the surrounding mountains from the southwest, northwest, and northeast," He places a finger at the center point of the three valleys. They have badly disrupted trade and production of iron, gems, some gold, and other items. Our own defenders have been overwhelmed by the frequency and the ferocity of the attacks."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | D: Underwater Palace
| |
| − |
| |
| − | “Legend says an underwater palace lies on the lake floor here. To my knowledge it has not been explored. If you can find a way in and a way to survive underwater, maybe there’s something there that can help us.”

| |
| − | '''Rules Notes''': The rules for fencing are a little spread out. With his rapiers he hits for 1D+2 total. Enemies are at -1DX to hit him. The Defend option forces them to roll an extra die. He can do a "shrewd thrust" and attack at -4 for an extra die of damage. On any given round, he can attack with both rapiers (the second attack at -4), use the second rapier to defend and so stop 2 damage from any non-missile weapon, or defend with both, which forces the enemy to roll an extra die to hit him and also blocks 4 damage.

| − | ===John T. Spiders===
| |
| − | Background: John is the only gargoyle in his clan who ever learned to read, let alone learned magic. He is extremely proud of being a wizard, although humble because he doesn't learn as quickly as some others. He has worked extremely hard to become accomplished in languages, and works as a translator when possible.

| |

| |
| − | '''Rules Notes''': A gargoyle begins with ST 13, DX 11, and IQ 8 (no points added). IQ will never go higher than 10; such “brilliant” gargoyles often become wizards, wanderers, or both. MA is 8 on the ground, 16 when flying.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Gargoyles can stop 3 hits/attack by virtue of their stony skin. They normally fight with their hands (2 dice damage), but those hired as guards will use weapons. They do not favor thrown or missile weapons, though they can fly overhead and
| |
| − | drop rocks on you if the situation warrants.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Since gargoyles’ gallbladders are useful in several potions, gargoyles are often suspicious of strangers’ intentions. They
| |
| − | react to strangers at -1.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I put my two extra points in IQ, but because he wouldn't have "started" with them, he only has 8 points worth of talents or spells. Note that wizards can learn literacy and languages without penalty, unlike most talents.
