INTRODUCTION
The party begins the adventure in the Grand Duchy of Geoff,
or Gyruff as the Flan call it. It is the early summer of CY 599. It is
not important where in Gyruff the PCs are, as they will receive
the letter as long as they are someplace a letter could feasibly be
received. The letter is delivered by a messenger service known
locally as Fleet of Foot.
Let each of the players see Players' Hand Out # 1 (There are three
versions of this letter depending on the PCs' backgrounds. See
Appendix VI). Once they have done so and agreed to travel to
Hochoch, read the following:
Finding yourself in Hochoch you soon find yourself standing
outside the city stables as instructed by the letter. The early morning
sun gleams off the armor worn by a number of Gran March soldiers
as they ready their horses and slowly ride away. Around you are a
number ofother adventurers seemingly waiting like yourself.
At this point allow the PCs to introduce themselves. Encourage
