Saving the Mayor's Daughter

• You arrive in the town of Calamus. You can see many homes, inns, general stores, guilds (including a fighter's guild, and a mage's guild), stalls, and churches (Kord, Ioun, Lolth). There is the Mayor's mansion, the blacksmith's shop, the jeweler's shop, and the jail. By the Mayor's house, you can see a large empty area with a raised platform, most likely used by the Mayor to give speeches.
• After a few minutes, you notice a finely dressed man who appears on the raised platform. He begins to speak:
  
  Sandor: "Attention civilians of Calamus! It is me, Sandor. I bring a message from Mayor Valodec.. The message is as follows..."
  "Dear civilians of Calamus, last night, a terrible thing had happened. My daughter, Mizzurah, was kidnapped. We don't know who has taken her, but my son, Balthazar, has already left town searching for her. He has not come back yet, and so I fear that he may have been captured or worse. I need a group of people to go out and search for my daughter and son. Please see Ulnar at the front gate to my house if you are interested. Thank you.
  
• After the message is finished, Sandor steps down and goes toward the Mayor's mansion.
Only read next part if the party goes to the front gate
