Description

I have made some adjustments to this command. Should our little ruse work, they will expose the Scarlet Oracle and we shall strike!

Now pay attention, your class. You are to deliver this command to the Crusader Lord, Valdelmar.

How? You are going to hand it to him, imbecile.

Take the command and this rotten apple to Tyr's Hand. When you cross into the city, eat the apple. You will transform into something more... palatable to the humans. Take the command and hand it to the Crusader Lord, Valdelmar.

In progress

This is unacceptable, soldier!
