Troops are massing in Starter Village, tents going up every where as the Duke's soldiers mount either a defense or an invasion.

The player characters are rousted by the town sheriff and hauled into the lord's estate where they meet the Duke, traveling secretly amidst his forces. The Duke talks vaguely about a dire threat to the lands that only the players are able to save the good people of Fantasy Kingdom from and if they would undertake the quest his gratitude would be of a substantial measure. He wants the players to meet his Captain in the encampment.

The Captain is a no-nonsense soldier holding court with his officers and military advisors. He explains that a Wizard of some renown was studying an older ruin in the neighboring valley. About a month ago there was some kind of explosion and now the ruins are glowing with an energy of some kind. A militia unit was sent to investigate but didn't return, witnesses in the surrounding wood heard what they described as a huge magical battle, but there are no witnesses. The captain wants a smaller force better equipped at covert entry to investigate the ruins while carrying a scrying lens go gain some strategic intel. All he needs them to do is find a way into the ruins, find out what's going on and if possible leave the lens where it can view the area and escape. If the Player characters will take on the mission he has some items that might help them.
