The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Stuart Echols, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Miles Bryce saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.
