While sitting at the bar in the Main Hall, and having a Double Dragon Bloom with old Hokas Tokas, you overhear an adventurer telling his tale to the bartender. He tells of a great fortress high atop a lone, foggy, mountain. He says it is heavily guarded, but claims that "Goff" is there.
Ah, now you remember. Goff has a price on his head. He's a torturer and killer. Waiting only long enough to find out where the fort is, you leave the bar and set out to rid the world of the man named Goff.
