Hunters discovered that in the mouth of a mysterious rock formation, known as Skullstone, a passage appeared. Long and dark corridor leading down below, and tracks suggest it's the monsters' lair. The elders agreed to send messengers calling for mercenaries who'll walk into the mouth of Skullstone to explore the evil place.
