More Details:

Before the group left town, they hear several rumors while at the local tavern…

• There is another keep on the borderlands (about 1 days travel to South to Cross roads then North East) is larger and more secure than this tiny town. It is run by a castellan who might be looking for experienced adventurers to help battle some evil lurking near the keep.
• Someone is telling their adventure story how they escaped being killed. “Bree-yark” is goblin-language for “we surrender” And they tricked the goblins… Their treasure included about 2000 gp and a magic sword.  Unfortunately a comrade died in the battle and his body was never recovered.
• There is some bad news about a death or someone near death in the Kolyana family. Not sure of where the location is but the Kloyana family is supposedly very wealthy.
• Someplace past the Keep of the Borderland is a “Chaos Cave”, A merchant is imprisoned in the caves and there is a reward for his safe return.
• A renegade sorcerer named Bargle may be hiding at Gygar’s old castle just 3 miles north. Centuries ago this land was ruled by a great and peaceful man named Gygar, but he had no successor. The castle is mostly in ruins now. Farmers and others have reported some suspicious activity near the northern farms.
• Details are fuzzy on this one – Someplace called “Quasqueton”, a long time ago a Fighter and Wizard were lovers and created a great magical fortress. a fantastic gem worth 10,000gp can be found there… How to find it? No one knows. Some think it is built in the clouds, others think it is deep underground.
