After spending some time in Kalaman, you have learned a lot about the Northern Wastes, the frozen land where the Dragon Army is plotting something evil. You have also taken care of any personal matters, such as buying supplies, selling loot, or contacting allies.
One evening, as you are resting in your rooms, you hear a familiar knock on your door. You open it and see your friend Darrett, the young officer who has been working with you. He looks excited and nervous.
"Hello, friends," he says. "I have some good news. Marshal Vendri has given us the green light to go to the Northern Wastes. She has entrusted me with the command of a hundred soldiers who will accompany us. We are going to sail across Kalaman Bay under the cover of darkness and land at a hidden spot called Wrecker's Edge. From there, we will scout the area and find out what the Dragon Army is up to. And if we can, we will stop them."
He pauses and smiles. "Are you ready for this adventure? It could be the most important mission of our lives."
You ask him some questions about the details of the plan, such as how many ships, how long the journey is, what kind of enemies to expect, and so on. He answers as best as he can but admits that there are many unknowns.
He then urges you to pack your bags and get some rest and says that he wants to leave tomorrow night but is willing to wait one more day if you need more time.
You thank him and close the door. You look at each other and feel a mix of excitement and apprehension. You are about to embark on a perilous journey to a land of ice and fire, where dragons and their minions await. You hope that you are prepared for what lies ahead.
