*A courier delivers the a note to Quill, that when opened appears and reads as follows:
Inscribed in Common on a fine parchment in calligraphy that is flowing and graceful, yet austere:*
Quill-
I am ready to assist you. Name the time and place where we gather. You know how to contact me.
I am sending you a copy a report I am passing on to others. If we are to attack the town to liberate it, there will likely be much greater force brought to bear against us, as I have indicated in the report.

Notes from Scouting of Occupied Stone - Sunra, 1 Janra, *year*
Enemy forces present at time of scouting: Dwarven warriors equipped with green axes, 9; Ogre Mage, 1; Tiefling in robes (caster?) 1; Balor prince, 1; Giants, 4 (one with dark red skin and horned helmet); Other demonic looking creature, size of a man, in armor, 1. A token force, likely to slow the advance of any would-be liberators; likely much greater force will be brought against us when we attack.
Some of the buildings that were formerly along the northeast-north edge of Stone, including what was the bank, there, have been torn down. Some makeshift shelters have been built in that area; a large graveyard is there - to the north of the temple. Three large excavation shafts have been dug there as well.
Why would they be attempting such massive excavations there?
As has been reported, the town is in ruins; gallows, cages, and other torture and execution devices are about the town, some still containing the remains of their last victims. Bones, skeletons, and remains are strewn about randomly throughout the place.
I enclose a couple sketches of the place I made from memory.
