Oyez! oyez!

Grimble Gromble, dwarvish warrior, desires to shew his martial prowess, to prove his stalwartness, in some venture or essay.

In especial he wishes to recruit fellow warriors to the tower of Guhra gobliness; but that failing, shall lend his arm to other ventures in the North Marches.

He asks only, that his employers bestow upon him an equal share of all treasures, particularly of the potable sort.

Word from the ArchDuke of Gaul...
Posted June 10, 2021

Word spreads through the populace and is confirmed by heralds. The following formal notice is posted in the public square.

REWARD REWARD REWARD

By Order of ArchDuke Gaul

Brave Adventurers needed, Knights or Gentry alike, willing to face
the terrors of a red dragon which has taken interest in the populace
of Gaul and demanded the sacrifice of maidens from among our
number each new moon.

Reward offered for any willing to face the Dragon in its lair,
leading to the dragon's death or to the cessation of its threats
against the city and our fair populace. All those so brave
as to stand against such a foe and prevail will also
be considered for knighthood and land grants from the Throne. The
proprietor, Hyde, has offered the Tavern as the site for planning
discussions. Sir Albrecht will provide the location of the dragon's
lair to any who require it.

Signed,

Gaul
