Adu Hilnack was a gnome on a mission: to collect as many stories as possible. The best part about stories was that there were so many of them, each new and exciting and unique. Why bother going on dangerous adventures yourself when you could get all the juicy details from the people who came back? Sure, you missed out on stories from the people who didn’t come back, but it wasn’t like adventurers were in short supply. Staying in cities also made it easy to collect even older stories from the various books, records, and manuscripts floating around. There were always dusty old libraries or city record books that could use a little more organization. Adu got to add more stories to her collection and a decent amount of coin to her purse. If she started to feel bored? Just head on to the next city where there’d be new people to meet and new books to peruse. Which was why, after finishing a job in Carpenden, she decided to head on over to Taggoret. It was pretty close by, and the last letter she’d gotten from Toulbe said he was going there to study dwarvish cuisine. It would be good to catch up with Toulbe again. He always had the best stories. Some of them were even true. Unfortunately, there was one flaw with this plan. ”What do you mean he’s not here?!” It was hard for a gnome to look intimidating. Judging from the way the landlady’s face had paled slightly, she was managing it anyway. ”Um, he said something about going on an epic quest? To, uh, Droskar’s Crag?” ”Droskar’s Crag. The active volcano Droskar’s Crag. The filled with monsters that like to eat gnomes Droskar’s Crag.” ”That would be the one, yes.” One of the worst things about being blessed (or cursed) with divine powers you didn’t fully understand: you could never be sure whether a feeling of impending doom was paranoia or foresight. Sure, Toulbe was a grown gnome perfectly capable of taking care of himself. But...adventuring was dangerous. She liked Toulbe. She wasn’t okay with the thought of him being one of the adventurers who never came back. Which meant there was only one thing she could do. She'd just have to make sure that once whatever fool quest he was on was over, he did come back. ”So...which way to Droskar’s Crag?”
