You all, for your own individual reasons, ended up in Oakhurst, a tiny village located roughly 15-miles northeast from Neverwinter, and a few short miles south of the Neverwinter Wood:
This gathering proved to be quite beneficial as, over the course of your meal and drinks, you discovered that, while you likely had your own private reasons for ending up in Oakhurst, you all admit to being drawn by stories of the "Sunless Citadel."
At one point during your meal, Garon approaches the new quintet with an attractive, respectable woman at his side. "Please, don't rise," she says authoritatively, introducing herself as Kerowyn Hucrele, owner and operator of the General Store in town: "Garon here tells me you're interested in the Sunless Citadel," she starts, sliding into the single empty seat left at your table without asking permission. "That'll be all," Kerowyn says, waving the innkeep away, and once Garon departs, and she's convinced she has your full attention, she proceeds to share a story about her twin children -- Talgen, her son, and Sharwyn, her daughter. "I've been hoping for a group like yours to come through so that I might implore: Can you please help find my children?"
"They left nigh two weeks ago with their friend, Karakas, and Sir Braford, to seek out the Sunless Citadel." Her tone turns sharp as she speaks this last name, but she does not elaborate. "I fear some ill fortune has befallen them, and they're all I have left after their father passed. If you can find and return them to me, I will reward you handsomely."
"And if they've --" she begins to chokes up, clearly fighting off thoughts of the worst. "If they've -- well. If you can't return my children to me, they both wore gold rings emblazoned with our family emblem. Please, at least return these family heirlooms to me."
Beginning to quickly lose her composure, Kerowyn hastily rises to her feet and drops a folded piece of parchment onto your table before leaving. The parchment, once unfolded, reveals an overland map she had readied to present to the right prospects:

Okay, my plan is to get the group to the site of the adventure right from the start, but figured I'd leave things here... for now. Feel free ask any questions you might have, and we'll advance the story again once you've had a chance to role-play for a bit. If you want.
