A tall man with broad shoulders wearing a long winter robe and hooded cloak is seen posting an announcement on the public notice boards. The message, obviously hand-written, is developed in clear, block letters –
The hooded figure wrote:
I HAVE PLEDGED MY AID TO THE RESIDENTS OF HOWNESS, AND IN TRYING TO HELP THEM WITH SOME OF THEIR PROBLEMS, I HAVE RUN INTO A PROBLEM. THE ISLAND OF FORRSTAKR IS BESET WITH POWERFUL MAGICIANS HELL-BENT ON DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. THEY DO NOT LISTEN TO REASON, AND THEY AREN'T INTERESTED IN PEACEFUL CONTACT - THEY ATTACK ON SIGHT. THESE WIZARDS ARE ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY AN ARMED ESCORT, AND PROTECT THEMSELVES FURTHER WITH SPELLS THAT WILL BURN YOU IF YOU TRY TO FIGHT OR SUBDUE THEM.
IF THERE ARE ANY HARDY SOULS WHO WOULD TAKE PART IN THIS ADVENTURE, NOW IS THE TIME. WE MEET AT HOWNESS IN ONE TENDAY.
NO COMMISSION PAY, BUT AN EVEN SPLIT OF ALL TREASURE IS TO BE HAD.

The last name of the person who wrote the announcement is apparently written in some foreign script, all but indecipherable. The contact details below the name mention the Rhun temple in Barak Runedar.
OOC- I propose we meet at howness on Sunday 10 march at 5pm GMT. Alternate proposals are welcome; I personally can't be available until 4am GMT Sunday. Having explored the island a little, I think the adventure should take about 2-3 hours.
EDIT: fixed a type-o.
