 [[Ten Artifacts]] of [[Aurén Ilay]] -- a quest which led them meet the great wizard [[Edric]].//
-(more to come)
+== Page 1 -- Elárion's Castle: The Great Search I ==
+<del>Two centuries</del> Several decades ago a wizard named [[Melchar]]
+set up a stronghold from which he <del>sent out
+his (eleven) ten super-powerful assistants.  These followers</del>
+combed the world for great artifacts of magic.  <del>which
+when combined, could be used to overthrow an
+entire city.  These artifacts, once in Melchar's hands,
+were combined and augmented with his own magic.</del>
+Unfortunately for him, <del>someone</del> <del>King Lari Dahln</del> infiltrated his encampment
+and exposed his plans.  In a lightning-swift raid,
+Melchar's stronhold was ruined.  In the interests of
+good, the artifacts were given to <del>eleven</del> ten very
+powerful minions of good each to be destroyed.  Whether
+these people were corrupted or killed is not known,
+but only <del>two</del> one reported back successfully.
+Now, Melchar's stronghold has once again become
+active.  A lady by the name of Elárion (a <del>descendant</del> granddaughter
+of Melchar) has tried to finish up where her ancestor
+left off.  She, however, has only found the location of
+the first of the <del>eleven</del> ten artifacts.  <del>To aid in her
+task it is possible that an evil deity has set up
+clues do that all eleven can be found.</del>  This<del>, however,</del>
+can be used to the party's advantage in that if
+Elárion is neutralized and the first clue found, all
+artifacts can be found and used or destroyed.
+== Page 2 ==
+Elárion's castle is located on [[Dauthia]] Island off
+the NE coast of the island(([[Lendore]] Island -- where
+the [[Good Party]] campaign originated)).  From the mainland, the
+castle can be seen clearly.  Getting to the island
+can be accomplished quite easily and with no chance
+for water encounters.  Once on the main island, however,
+there is a 1/6 chance per hex of having an
+encounter.  These encounters are special and have nothing
+to do with the roster for this castle.

+* Castle Descriptions:
+**Main Entrance** -- There are always 12 GOBLINS on guard
+on the wall (6 on either side of the door).
+(guards) will always be Archers((Red Squadron)).  There are two
+portcullis here (spaced 20 feet apart).  The first
+is raised while the inner is not.  If the
+party is foolish enough to enter these gates, the
+Goblins will <del>lower the outer gate so as to
+trap them</del> attack immediately in full force.
+At this point oil will be poured onto
+the party and all of the goblins will attack
+(throwing flaming torches first).
+Along the the other walls there are 12 more <del>goblins</del> guards
+patrolling((2 are Blue Squadron Archers)).  (4 on each of the three other walls).  In
+the moat around the castle there is one POISONOUS
+GIANT SNAKE who will attack anybody in the water
+(20% chance he will be near enough to notice.
+If so, each character has a chance [detect unusual]
+to see him).
+**Stables** -- There are 14 horses hre (3 are warhorses
+with Chain barding, the others are light riding) as
+well as 4 Goblins (unarmed) tending the horses.
+== Page 4 ==
+**Kitchen Area** -- See detail map 1((seems to have been lost)).
+There are 20 KOBOLDS
+living and working here at all times.  They are
+divided as follows: 10 in the kitchen area, 5 at
+the table north of the curtain, and 5 in the living
+area.  In the living area is a sack with 200 cp
+in it.  In the storage area nearest to the wall,
+all of the barrels are empty and the chest in
+the corner (unlocked) contains 1000 cp and 10 gems
+(10 gp each).  The other storage area contains grains,
+salted meats, fresh (and not-so-fresh) fruits and
+vegetables, as well as seasonings.
+**Barn/Farmhouse** -- Here, there are 6 cows, 17 chickens,
+pigs, and 5 goats as well as 4 GOBLINS.
+There is no treasure, yet there are 2 butchered
+pigs and a side of beef hanging nearby as well
+as several jugs of fresh milk and baskets of
+eggs.  In the garden nearby are many vegetables
+and nothing of interest.
+<del>**Stables**</del>
+**Guard Quarters East** -- See detail map 2.  There are
+GOBLINS in this building as well as the Red and
+Blue Orc Archer squadrons (5 each).  The goblins
+are divided as follows: the leader behind the curtain
+in the corner (w/the treasure), 3 others around the fire
+pit and 21 in the Rec Area.  The Orcs are all in
+their rooms except for 2 from each squadron that are
+on duty.  There are also 6 Goblin wenches who will not
+fight.  Section A contains Red squadron, Section B contains
+Blue squadron, and Sectionc C and D contain food
+and weapons for the archers.  The other storage areas
+contain some food, quite a bit of ale, and an
+enormous amount of weapons.
+== Pages 5 & 6 ==
+**Collapsed Building** -- This area is the only other entrance
+to the castle other than the main entrance.  As a
+result, Elárion has tried to block it up as
+much as possible and has stationed 7 GOBLINS
+on guard here.  These goblins are not alert and
+may be asleep (40% chance per goblin).
+**Main Castle** -- See detail map 3.  Individual descriptions
+are on the next few pages.
