You receive a note from Dr. Quolorum. It reads:
My most capable allies,
This is it! I have finally triangulated the source of the
intriguing phenomena near the peak of Diremark in the
eastern reaches of the Hungry Mountains. It’s so obvious
in hindsight, considering the legends of the place, that I’m
surprised nobody thought of it sooner.
Given the highly charged nature of the ether right now,
it’s best if I accompany you to the source to learn what
has transpired. Meet me on the slopes of Diremark and we’ll
put this mystery to rest before the new semester begins
and I return to the drudgery of reading first-year essays
on the ethical questions raised by charm spells.
Huzzah!
Dr. Quolorum
