Locals hear chants in the nearby ruins.Vistaru, Lord of the Mountain, is attacking small towns surrounded by his kingdom in hopes of expanding his army before his assault on the capital.

Also, don't be mean, some people put a lot of effort into their characters. Also, make sure that you do not have too many crazy people in your campaign. As a DM you have to be vigilant of what the party might do. Allow them to choose to whip off their disguises and battle the unguarded baron or to leave with the information they have gathered. Make them decide what encounters they do. If they don't want to go explore the castle they don't have to. Players can't just play along to what you say they should do. Things that make both quests and novels interesting are falsities, Imagery, and most importantly options. Remember as you add ideas that you are writing a story.
