We have arrived in the small town on the outskirts of Faircaster named Stonescast. The Aurumi architecture is unmistakable. My companions have decided to stay in town tonight before entering Faircaster properly. As we were sorting out our lodging arrangements, Mister Malopher encountered a woman who was seeking assistance. Her mastery of the Feroxi language is limited, and as such he came to me for aid. The woman seemed to be happy to see me as a Dusk Mage Acolyte, and was quite polite. I invited her to come with us to discuss her problem with my companions, informing her that I will translate.
It would seem that the woman lives in Faircaster, and that the town has recently fallen to barbarism. The Mayor of the town has been slain, as have the members of Balthazar’s Legion that were acting as guards. A band of Lycanthropes have apparently taken control of the town, claiming that they are the saviors of the people. Some of the townspeople are planning to rout the insurgents from the town, but they are lacking in numbers and in capability. It is for recruitment purposes that she has ventured into town.
The crimes that these Lycanthropes have committed are unspeakable in their abhorrence. My companions and I unanimously agreed to assist the townspeople in their battle for the sake of their town. First, however, we would need to rest and organize ourselves. The woman volunteered to lead us into town in the morning, telling us that she would stay with the local militia in Stonescast for the night.
I have heard word from Sensei. It would seem that she was entertaining Archbishop De Borel, and so she was delayed in her response. I imagine that they do not often have the luxury of conversing in person. In retrospect, I ought to have expected as much. I told Sensei to give the Archbishop my congratulations and wished both of them well. For now, there is little more I can write of. I must ensure I am well rested. For once it would seem that we have some idea of what it is we will be getting ourselves involved in.
