PetrusOctavianus: Sounds like a fake journal entry that made it into the actual game. Or maybe it was omitted due to lack of time or resources, but the designers forgot to remove the notice.

fevered monk: Does anyone have any details on Proclamation CLIV:

Be it known that the council is seeking a hearty band to undertake a mission to rescue the Duchess of Melvaunt. The duchess is supposedly held by a band of ogres in a camp to the northeast of Phlan. A generous reward is offered for the safe return of the duchess. Apply to the council clerk for commission and additional information concerning the abduction.

I don't see anything in the Clue Book around this mission and don't remember playing it when the game was first released. This isn't the mission where the boy is rescued from the buccaneer camp, which is handed out by the Council Clerk. And it's not the princess in the Kobold Caves, either. This is just a proclamation on the council chamber's doors.

Thanks.

txnca: IF I am not mistaken, you will find her in the Kobold caves. If you have room she will join your party but if not she will go her own way. You will have to check every room though to find her. Good luck!

I just got through playing the game which is why I remember.
