"After an hour of sneaking through the town, and an hour of rest the sun has well and truly set on Gilhold, but the light of torches and bonfires provide ample light. Your arrival surprised the defenders of the keep and their Governess, and your aid to the villagers you've led to safety has already earned you gratitude. Marlyne Faering has requested your help, asking you to slip back into the town to help stranded villagers or to harass the raiders. An especially stealthy approach is required, with the raiders having all but isolated the keep after the party made a fairly extravagant entrance."

NPCs

Governess Marlyne Faering

The woman who runs Gilhold.

• A half-elven woman, about 100 years old.
• If the characters ask who is in charge, they are directed to Faering. She is located atop the parapet of the keep when the sky is clear, or inside if the dragon is attacking.
• If the characters don't seek out the governess when they reach the keep, she finds them. Either way, Faering welcomes them and takes them to the parapet, from where they have the best view of Gilhold.
• Bandages across her face, and her right arm is in a sling - her green attire is stained with her own blood.

Marlyne is a stern woman, able to stand her own with any one handed weapon at her disposal. She is also able to command magic equal to a 2nd level bard.

• Will do anything in her power to save Gilhold
• Does not let herself be toyed with

Castellan Escobert the Red

Shield-dwarf of the Gilhold Keep, sporting a knotted, tangled beard and bright red hair. He is in charge of defenses and knows the keep inside and out, also carrying any necessary keys.

• For the Sally port, players will be directed to him.
