You walk through the busy avenue, seeing soldiers go to and fro on errands, some attending to horses, others with various documents to deliver. You enter the headquarters building and find yourself standing in a colonnaded courtyard, filled with soldiers and potential adventuring companions alike. You both have plenty of companions to keep an eye on currently though, and don't think you could direct any more given your inexperience. Towards the south of the courtyard, a set of stairs leads up to a hallway, where upon you see a bronzed gate flanked by two guards.

Strewn along the pillars of the courtyard are various bulletins, notices and missives, giving a glimpse into the work of Old Fort. Some in particular jump out at you.
[hider=An official looking missive]By order of Commander Ulrand, a reward of [color=gold][b]2,000 gold pieces[/b][/color] shall be paid to whoever puts a stop to the Beastmen raids that have plagued our territory as of late. Adventurers seeking to claim this reward should bring evidence of their success before the Commander at his Office in the Villa.[/hider][hider=A well decorated poster][b]The Guild of Merchants[/b] earnestly seeks word of the whereabouts of two of its members, Daros and Odir, gone missing along the highway to Porttown. Those with knowledge of their whereabouts should speak to Karanos at the Forum on the town's outskirts.[/hider][hider=A scrawled advertisement]Join our band!
