	Amon has reached out to me to assist in stopping the Dreadhorde that Marches towards Aethelfirth. What follows is a summary of our mission to stop the Dreadhorde at a Pardor Pass in hopes that it provides the citizens of Aethelfirth additional time to evacuate. We begin by finding Warden in his makshift druidic Grove within his chambers of the newly constructed Magistery.

What follows is a summary of our mission to stop the Dreadhorde at the [[Pardor Pass]] in hopes that it provides the citizens of Aethelfirth additional time to evacuate.

	'''Amon''': "I don't know this for sure, Warden, but we suspect their objective in Aethelfirth may be tied to an artifact kept there since the home of Lord Aethel. Our Order's own records on past missions indicates it may tied to the Seal and the Ring Magic that presumably powers our magistery rings. Their objective at Windy Bluff we're still trying to determine, but it's likely their choice of target is equally deliberate. Based on what I can tell from their marching speed both armies will strike at roughly the same time, a little over two weeks from now. Something in the makeup of the army is obscuring them from scrying accurate counts of their troop sizes, and it's a natural occurrence that blocks even true sight. As such I can estimate the total size of their force to be roughly 10,000 strong split between a large garrison at the former Folcom Keep and the two, smaller armies on the march, but I don't know exactly how big those armies are. This is all from reconnaissance by scrying over the past several days, and everything but the last part has also been passed along in a report within House Blue."		'''Warden''': Amon.

	Jeroy enters the grand hall of the keep. He creates several green shower of sparks and sounds of bells ringing, in his booming voice he announces to the hall "The Green has ordered me to investigate the caverns that lead to Pardor Pass. The Pass is the last choke point between the moving eternal army and the town of Aethelfirth. If needed we must be prepared to collapse the pass to give the city enough time to evacuate. Who would like to join me on the away team?" He is greeted by Ford, Tallulah, Iago, and Loco.		Jeroy enters the grand hall of the keep.

	The team leaves the Keep and makes their way to the Magistery to request the help of fellow Magisters to aid in the battle. As they walk through the halls Jeroy turns to the group "So who and how many should we get to follow us? Anyone owed any favors?" Iago sounds a few melodic notes and dances to the front of the group. "Leave that to meeeeeeeeeeeee!" He says as he dances away and around the corner. Jeroy hesitates, blinks, and then looks to the others. "Perhaps we meet back here in a hour? Go make sure you have all the supplies you need." He tells the other.		The team leaves the Keep and makes their way to the Magistery to request the help of fellow Magisters to aid in the battle.
