As you walk through the pasture, a centaur timidly peeks at you from the edge of the forest. What do you do?
(Leave Talk to Centaur)
The centaur shifts nervously at the edge of the forest and calls to you, 'Remove the foul infestations from this forest, and I will tell of the strange happenings here.'
The centaur returns to the forest.
If you killed the baddies:
The centaur trots into the pasture and speaks, 'Many thanks for removing the foul creatures from the forest. I will assist you in your quest as best I am able. This forest has been cursed by a powerful lich. I have seen his minion taking prisoners underground down a deep hole to the west. A guide from Gideon passed this way some days ago, and has yet to return. I fear he too has been captured.' The centaur disappears into the forest and returns a minute later. 'Take this. Perhaps you will be able to descend and free them.' The centaur returns to the forest.

You search the area after the battle, and find a small wire with a ring on the end of it protruding from the wall. You pull on it very gently, but the result is nevertheless violent. The floor drops away beneath you and you're dumped on a hard stone surface several feet below. The floor closes up to become the ceiling, and you dust yourself off and prepare to continue.

NPC -- 'Welcome to Gideon, adventurers. We are grateful for your help. Here is the help that I can give to you. The Pirate Society has become much more active recently and we don't know why. They're a group of spies, thieves and assassins, and their symbol is a toucan tattoo. They've always had a small base of operations near here, but we haven't known where. No one wanted to know, really...Their real targets lie in Greenlund and Goldensun, and to know the Pirates is to know too much. But now...the griffon attacks, the raids by undead monsters, the many dark caravans passing through the town by night...I pray you find a way to help us! May Jolith protect you and bring balance and order to our world!'
