	Mayor Griswald		Mayor Griswald, having gotten reports (and first hand experience) of the waters of Sally's Brook becoming fouled with a sour-bitter taste that burns the mouth, recently sent for help to the engineers of Luxor. However, no help has arrived and so he has convened to the townsfolk to answer their demands that he '''do something'''.

			After twisting the tips of his mighty white mustache, he assuages the assembled citizens and calls for volunteers to investigate the resolve the issue. It takes just a glance at [[Garrick Holt]] to acquire the first volunteer. [[Elena]] quickly follows, given her deep concerns about the fouling the land she cherishes. After a pause and rather direct glare at his young cousin [[Demitry]], the young leather-clad flirt nods his assent.

			The mayor promises to outfit the team with whatever is needed and the team forthwith walks over to the tavern to discuss. While planning, a local woodsman known for his slightly deranged superstitions, bursts into the tavern with a story of skinless monsters with green glowing eyes wandering the high forests. After being further pleadingly harassed by anxious citizens over several drinks, the team resolves, despite the late hour, to head out immediately. They camp at a familiar site along the brook a few hours later.

			Before dawn, they are awakened by a trio of two-meter long snakes. Made of interlocking segments of tin or steel. And glowing green eyes.

			With difficulty (and minor injuries), they smash the three mysterious automatons.
