Intro. ## The Target
Valkor the Unbound - rogue mage who stole forbidden grimoires from the Guild. Last seen in the Ashwood border region.
## The Setup
You've tracked Valkor to an abandoned fort for your own reasons (revenge, bounty, the grimoires, etc.). You arrive at dusk to find the place reeking of corrupted magic.
As you approach the entrance, studying the magical wards, you sense another presence.
## The Meeting
Morgash emerges from the shadows on the opposite side - orc woman in black robed armor with purple insignias, staff with purple gem, multiple piercings. She regards you with polite interest.
"Good evening. I don't believe we've met. My name is Morgash." She gestures at the fort. "I assume we're here for the same reason."
She produces a Guild writ but doesn't seem to expect it to matter. "Perhaps we should discuss how this is going to work."
Her smile is polite. Her eyes are calculating.
