While sitting at the bar at the local pub, you are approached by a gnome wearing a blue wool hat, glasses and smoking a cigarette.
He says, "Ah, here you are! So you're the brave warrior who has volunteered for this hazardous job? I've been told to fill you in on Blood Feud Castle and the rivalry between the Pozzis and Spanners."
Three hours later he concludes his history and gets to the point: "The evil Suedo Guru has stolen the Rod of Stupidity from the royal depository and he has taken up residence at Blood Feud Castle. Should you succeed in recovering the rod you will be given the title of Knight of the Realm, and all will call you 'Sir'. You may keep all the possessions you find, and that includes an amulet that has the power of increasing all your attributes! Since this mission is quite difficult you will have the advantage of leaving the castle and returning to the Main Hall to heal, without disturbing the castle."
The gnome says, "Good luck!" and disappears into a cloud of smoke.
