Gateway & Meeting the Mayor The Cataclysm & The War of the Lance The current year for our homebrewed Dragonlance campaign is set during 381AC. Inspired By Trampas Whiteman

The PC's reach Gateway & the Steel Piece Inn.
Let them have the rooms for free - complements of Stan Whiteguard.
Stan will say go to your rooms & I'll have food/drink sent up - I know you are tired from your journey.
5 reserved rooms at the end of the hall. Describe the rooms and nice, with water basin for a bath, large beds, fresh water, chamber pot and rugs around the room on the floor.

Ask what each are doing in rooms
Allow for roleplay

The next morning they can come down for breakfast (on the house also)

Eventually, have a man enter the inn and approach the PC's
Hello, I am Donivan Ellrick. Mayor Alrick Mangaloe has sent me to request that you accompany me to the mayors office, he wishes to speak with you and he also states that he has an offer for you.
If they accept
You follow Donivan for many 5 minutes through town until you reach the Mayors office. The temperature is still cold, it seems to be slowly dropping over the past several days - feels like it's 65 degrees or for our non-americans :) 18.3 degress celcius

Mayor Alrick Mangaloe welcomes you inside his office and asks you to take a seat.

[Food and drink are brought out]

I've heard from Stan Whiteguard, "the owner of the Steel Piece" that you are sturdy heros seeking possible employment?

[f they say yes] Well, I'm pleased to hear this.

Lately, we've had some disturbing things going on in the nearby cemetery, mostly at night of course. I'm honestly not sure what is going on, but I've heard some strange reports from people - like seeing movement later at night around a specific structure or building in the center of the cemetery. The most disturbing word is several robed figures that appear to be dressed like the Seekers from way back during the War of the Lance. It can't be former members of the false Seeker religion, that religion died off before the war ended. I've sent people into the ruins to uncover the truth of what is going on but those who have traveled into the ruins frequently turn up missing or are just unwilling to talk about their experiences. Some do say however that not all of the Seekers went quietly into the night during the later days of the War of the Lance almost 30 years ago. They say that some still exist and have been in hiding all these years - I really don't know what to believe.

The only concrete information we've gotten is catacombs seem to exist beneath one of the larger monoliths in the center of the cemetary - we don't know the extent of the tunnels, hell, they may not even exist for all we know. We don't know much else. I was hoping you fine folk might delve into these tunnels and find out what's going on. I can compensate you for your troubles, say . . . 100gp each for uncovering this mystery?
