You walk up to Greycane at the bar. He starts, "A few days back a group went deepside. A Free Company and forty loggers went to gather lumber. Only two returned. Lord Rhiner, a bit of an ass if you ask me, needs the wood still. He asked for you personally. He wants the 'Heroes of Bastone' to look into it and keep the new boys safe." Word of your exploits has gotten around, and the moniker has followed you these last weeks. It seems the city cryers have been ordered to expound and embellish your company's exploits to keep men's minds away from the loss of one of the great cities. This forced a notoriety upon you, whether you wanted it or not.

"I know setting up The Broken Oak has taken a lot of your iron recently," Greycane continues, "and though Rhiner may not be bright, he is rich. I suggest you see what the good man has to say about the situation."

You agree you need a contract, more than just the iron, you need the practice. Comfort can kill a Free Company.
