To: Major Elizabeth Walton
I must commend you on your recent performance outside Highgate. The actions of you and your men averted the disaster which the trollkin kriels represent. I wish that I could allow you more time to rest, but once again your team is best situated to respond to an urgent problem.
The HMS Resolution has run aground on the Shrouded Isle—a mysterious place of magic and mists, rumoured to be an outpost of the Nightmare Empire of Cryx. It’s located deep within the Broken Coast, far outside our usual naval patrols.
Due to the ongoing war efforts, it is not be possible to mount a standard search and rescue mission into those waters. However, Warcaster Alain Gollan was on the Resolution, and losing him could jeopardise the coastal defences, thus exposing many more civilians to the Cryxian raids.
I have arranged for HMS Gallant, one of the experimental submersible craft to take you and your men from Highgate to the Shrouded Isle. Hopefully you will be able to reach the Island without being detected, and will be able to retrieve Gollan.
Best of luck,
Scout General Ribald, C.R.S.
