Commander Helga of the Gratletown Militia assembled several small teams to search for the defector, Ophelia San Laren, currently in possession of vital troop movement reports for both Hrim and the Crag which could prove devestating in their war with the Final Kingdom. One group including Emmerick, Flagdan, Sekrassos, Tilly, Passiflora, and Wrechmaw the Foul (aka Louis) was sent toward the town of Garested.
