Part 1 - Mission 3 - Giant Rats and Beer

Jolanta is serving tea and cakes at a meeting between Viran Ceredig Yerwold, of the Order of the White Hand, and the mysterious Arrilion. It takes some time for Jolanta to discover that this exotic, fastidiously clean man is an elf. The men are reviewing reports of strange events and deciding if they merit investigation.

One report is of an Innkeeper at Erwurd Manor who has recently expanded his underground cellar and been attacked by enormous rats.

Arrilion quickly checks his notes. He has several books and scrolls always on hand. He remembers over two centuries ago, the alchemist Bethfisa had a workshop in that village; it has long since been lost to time. Arrilion hypothesizes that this so-called overgrown rat problem could be caused by residue properties of some prior magical activity. Jolanta is sent to investigate and recover any dangerous arcana if that is indeed the origin of the Innkeeper's problems.

In her studies, Jolanta recalls that nearby is the mysterious Agadar Circle, this is a Barasi Point or Holy Grove. Jolanta makes a mental note to investigate this after concluding her assignment.
