Gandalf has just been declared the new ruler of the kingdom and the Ranger is his primary enforcer hunting enemies of the state you guys are approached by a member of the newly founded resistance
I challenge him to announce himself
I pick his pocket
He declares his name is Draxel former vassal of the king. Your roll of three fails and he catches you picking his pocket. Draxel asks you two if you are interested in a highly dangerous mission
Sure I am always up for a good battle
Sure I always hide and let him get hit and get the rewards anyway
Draxel instructs you to go to the castle not far from the village and rescue the king he will help you in the end
I'm glad that scrape with the undead gave me a level this sounds tough
