Writing the whole of the story is more time consuming than I would like, so I'll just put some scenes together with a little forward. This one is just after Lancer speaks to Fenthick and Dester before meeting Aribeth for his first lead.

Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos.

Lancer sighed as he placed his rather unremarkable spear across his shoulders and walked past the plague victims. If that snake bitch under Castle Never gets out, this won't be the half of it. he thought, glancing around the sickbay before entering the Hall of Justice. Yes, one of his objectives, even if it was the secondary, was saving the city. That was what Ruler had commanded of him, so that was what he would do. As he looked around the Hall, he saw his other, higher priority. Aribeth de Tylmarande, the paladin of Tyr.

"Ah, you've arrived." Aribeth called, seeing the approaching fighter. "I was expecting you a little sooner."

"Your boyfriend held me up a bit, sorry." Lancer replied, shrugging.

Aribeth bristled slightly at Lancer's casual tone, but continued speaking. "As you know from the attack on the Academy, the Waterdavian Creatures needed for the cure to the Wailing Death."

"And you want me to find them." Lancer finished with a sigh. "I'll find your creatures and bring back the regents just point me in the right direction."

Aribeth continued talking, but Lancer really wasn't listening at this point. Ruler had already told him where the creatures would vanish to, and which ones posed the most imminent threat to the city. "Don't worry. I'll find your critters and bring back what you need." He said, taking the offered Stone of Recall.

Yes, he would save this pitiful city. After all that's what he was commanded, so that was what he would do. One didn't upset the King.

And done. Some may be longer, some about this length, some even shorter, but they'll all be involved in the Neverwinter Nights main campaign storyline. Until next time!
