The adventurers gather at a local tavern eating dinner with Cha Ral Ells. A crazed T'skrang (not D'zurr) with a white shock of a crest rushes in and babbles incoherently. It turns out that the T'skrang's party was slain, but not before they found a magical scepter. This scepter has some sort of value to Cha Ral Ells, and so the party is sent to retrieve it. Unfortunately, due to the public scene the T'skrang made, several other adventuring parties also caught wind of the scepter and ventured off to claim it on their own. LP Award: 2500
