A Hundred Bushels of Rye (Moldvay B/X)

It's a gloomy, overcast, autumn day in Olokand,
shire moot of Meselynshire in the Kingdom of Kaldor.
Sir Maldan Ilarabor, Sheriff of Mesclyn and Constable
of Olokand castle, has recently been informed by the
local chapter of the Miner's Guild that the Amba Mine
located near the village of Loban has been temporarily
closed due a mysterious outbreak of violence. Several
murders have occurred, and to make mailers worse,
unconfirmed rumors from merchants using the Fur
Road indicate the violence has spread to the village of
Loban itself. A written request for information from Sir
Kathel Dezaller, lord of the manor, sent almost a month
ago has not been answered.

Sir Maldan is concerned about these events, but is
also anxious to see that the mine is re-opened before
his own lord, the king of Kaldor, starts asking some
embarrassing questions. He is also worried that Loban's
annual feudal obligation, namely 100 bushels of rye,
has not yet been delivered.
