The mayor is very grateful to you volunteers, and wishes you well. There is applause from the townsfolk, though it is sombre and brief.

“We need to know what has happened to these people. It is inconceivable that a corps from Vigil would be lost.”

The dwarf stares out the window for a moment, lost in his thoughts and memories. You remember that he wears the Shields of Vigil on both palms.

”If you head off at first light you will reach the Monument around noon, and the Pass is only another hour beyond that. Don’t forget to take these.”

Krippler waves towards the wand and scrolls on the table with his good arm.

”May Iomedae be upon your shoulders. We will see you soon.” He smiles at you with tears in his eyes.
Abruptly, he closes the meeting, dismisses you, and limps out the door.

"I’ve called this Town Meeting because of the trouble on the pass. We were expecting a corps from Vigil, and they should have arrived two days ago. We need to send some of our own to The Pass of Thaldor to find out what is going on."

He shuffles nervously, hanging his head as he speaks in his deep voice, "We do not know what has befallen Viktor and Igor who live near the pass; Edgar, Krinsk, Warick, Lyon or Kompio who should have returned from Vigil a week ago; nor of Verdihold and his men who volunteered to investigate.

"I fear the worst. I do not make this request of our people lightly. I call upon the spirit of Last Wall, that those of us, possessed of honour, bravery, and good will, can stand up against the… I don't know what."

His eyes have a glassy look, and he sniffles twice.

"At this time of year, as winter wanes, you all know, that we have little left in the stores and we rely upon The Pass of Thaldor to trade with Vigil. So we have nothing to spare you for this task. However, we will grant you what precious little we have. Brother Thistlethwaite has volunteered his Wand of Cure Light Wounds (2d10 + 10 ⇒ (1, 6) + 10 = 17 charges remaining), and Emong has been awake all night scribing these scrolls for you.

You start with only the three items, since you begin with your characters being resurrected on a distant plane. Thus you only have the few items which are most integral to you.

I like it - these are the three items my character died with.

What about ammunition? Even a mundane shield? The three item limit puts a lot of limitations on builds for non-magical types.

I've enjoyed the challenge. Sure, I'd like more, but I've made a more interesting character because of it.
