The Tainted Child

You were gone for so long that I’d feared you died, your corpse searching for sunlight in the Forest of Shadows. Alas without you to make a deal, I had to proceed with my gut instinct to put down the mutant. Not personally though, a cannonball exploded near me and I took some shrapnel to the leg. I sent two of my best agents up the Talabec to sail to Kislev, faster to travel by water you see. They were to press a company of Talabecland’s militia into service and carry on into Kislev. Their orders were head west by way of the road from Unterbaum towards Hergig Landing. I’ll hold to my word and stop the execution of the mutant child given your service in purging the Black Mire of its beastmen herd, well provided you catch up with my agents and give them these new orders. The Tainted Child’s fate is in your hands |c.

Travel with haste to Talabecland in pursuit of the two agents Hansa Gruber sent to kill the Tainted Child. They are only a few days ahead of you so you should be able to catch them on the road between Unterbaum and Hergig Landing. Zebadiah Orelius is the senior of the two bearing the orders.
