The would-be rangers or adventurers met with Shamino at the Shattered Skull tavern, where he promised to lead them on a quest. However the matter was dire. It was said that the Sheriff of Yew, Ranger Guischard, had gone missing and Shamino was determined to locate him. They began their search in Yew by traveling to the Court of Truth. Outside they encountered a guard who confirmed the rumor that the Sheriff of Yew was missing, and permitted the guards to search Guischard’s office for any clues. They found within his office a number of strange, occult objects found within the Deep Woods as well as Guischard’s journal which detailed his suspicions and case over the course of several months. It seemed he believed there was a conspiracy afoot in Yew, and carried on the investigation alone in total secrecy to prevent the wrong people from learning about it and putting a stop to his efforts. He mentioned meeting with a contact at the docks named Peter, who had claimed to possess critical information that would blow the case wide open. This is where the entries ended.
Armed with this knowledge, Shamino advised the would-be rangers to see if they could find Peter at the docks while he continued searching the office. They did indeed find Peter, who told them that he had helped Guischard and that he could show them what he had showed the missing Sheriff, and opened a moongate. On the other side of the moongate the would-be rangers were met with a trap, surrounded by necromancers they fought for their lives against an undead onslaught. In the heat of battle Peter seemed to escape. When the dust had settled Shamino caught up with them after hearing about the treachery, and informing them of a curious letter he had found from the Sheriff of Vesper, addressed to Ranger Guischard; a possible lead for future investigation. For the Sheriff of Yew, however, they were too late, for scattered among the bones and bodies was Guischard’s eviscerated body.
Having completed their quest, they returned to the Shattered Skull where Iolo was waiting for them, and the former-guards cast their vote for which guild would be established. The Rangers Guild won the vote, and on that day Shamino announced the newly reformed Rangers Guild of Skara Brae was officially established.
