If an enemy army were to attack you, they’d suffer horrific casualties.”“Because they’re already here.” Tobias says. “We’ve suffered a grave issue recently. Several of our wyverns were stricken ill. The men that were meant to guard them were found asleep at their post. I know those men well, and they were not simply shirking their duty. Someone used magic to put them to sleep. A quarter of our wyverns are sick, and another quarter have outright died, as if poisoned by something. In a single night, our fighting strength has been drastically reduced.”
“Half of your wyverns are gone?!” Alvin exclaims, taken aback by the news.
“Yes.” Tobias says. “While we still have around 40 wyverns fit for fighting, one of our beasts has gone missing. ” Tobias says. “A white wyvern worth several times its weight in gold, capable of being ridden by a mage. Whoever poisoned our flock likely absconded atop the creature.”
A white wyvern? It sounded like you would be capable of riding such a creature. It’s a shame you weren’t able to abscond with it first, you think to yourself.”
“Adjunct.” Tobias says, stone faced and serious. “I’ve instructed my men to return you and your party’s weapons to you. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you might have faced on behalf of our paranoia. However, I must request that you lend us your aid. If there is anything you can do at all to help us safeguard Hima and uncover the culprit of this attack, we would be forever in your debt.”
