Three Hills Adventuring Company

The Heroes have learned that a group of Adventurers form Waterdeep are in town to explore the Stirgenest Cairn. Because some in the party have been to the Stirgenest before, the Heroes know that this location is most likely empty; but it won't take long for these skilled Heroes to move on to more lucrative targets.

When the Heroes met with Dietrik he talked to the Heroes about a Whispering Cairn and promised to pay the Heroes if they could locate it and report back to him its location. He neglected to forbid the Heroes from exploring the Cairn, so technically, Jasper has pointed out, that the Heroes have "Official concurrence by omission" from the Garrison to explore the Cairn and extract any riches with full rights. Jasper recommends the Heroes take advantage of this little snafu on Dietrik's part before he realizes his mistake.

Kamist has also met a young Damaran teenager named Igor who has agreed to lead the Heroes a few miles out of town to the second hill past the Boneyard where the Whispering Cairn lies. Apparently, this Cairn gets its name from the noises emanating from within. Local teens like to gather at the entrance and disappear into its cyclopean depths as a test of bravery. In any event, Morgan and the others are still away, but Adventure is at hand. "Get some...!"
