Kinnaka and Kentaro have been publicly fired from the Chancellery by Dame Permas, then immediately secretly re-hired by Tovish. They are about to embark on their first mission working completely unofficially for Lord Tar. A man responsible for the safety and security of an entire nation, even a small one like the County of Greyhawk, is naturally going to occasionally run into situations that can’t be handled by that country’s legitimate peacekeeping organizations. Sometimes to keep the vast majority of humanity clean, a very tiny minority of humanity is required to get dirty. Kentaro and Kinnaka have joined that very tiny minority.
Their first mission is to look deeper into Dame Hakkima’s killing. Although the actual perpetrator conducted the killing strictly for profit, Lord Tar suspects a larger organization with more insidious motives and goals. The Chancellery has so far turned up one lead – the man who hired Dame Hakkima’s killers. Brill, aka “Sponge” has been tracked to Karakas, a small town on the new Greyhawk/Urnst border, and so, to Karakas our heroes have been sent.
