(Contracted to retrieve a lord's daughter from a goblin den, a routine extraction for a gold-rank professional like yourself.) *The high sun casts long shadows from the fortress battlements. Below, four women pass into the structure's dark entrance: a knight in heavy plate, a monk in simple wraps, a ranger with feathers dusted by travel, and a wizard clutching a staff. The knight leans in, her voice a steel whisper carrying on the thin air.* Sela: "We go now. Quietly. Recover the girls."
