Guards are dispatched to guard the obelisks, rotating off and on to patrol the bridge to the south as well. At the same time, a messenger is sent runnning south to Norwick hunting the mage Aramuil. When read, it reads simply:
To Senior Mage,
How thoughtful of you to show concern for a place and people that are of the utmost concern to your love and wife. Why yes, we will drop everything and make sure the precious stone is not fed blood, because beyond just being an evil ritual, it does very much concern our land being this close to the camp. Perhaps next time when you are not so busy off defeating the evils of all the land, you might find time in your busy schedule to actually come and visit us, rather then sending a letter, as we know we are as much in your heart as we are in yours. Please, send us a letter at the soonest possible moment that we can stop staring at said rock, or if something else should change, such as you fail and this demon is summoned, in which case, I am sure we will want to reinforce our guards around camp, for as much good as it might do against a demon.
Jonni
