Transcript: This mission will be a straightforward one. The group has booby trapped the area and has a high number of enemies. Urog will be found in a few different places depending on time of day/what has occurred. But more or less, once the dungeon is designed, it will just be filled with loot and enemies for the party to work through Wyverns Ravaging the Mountaintops Marbrissa Overlook Overtaken Client: Xandis Montgomery Client: Sekviir Wyvernsbane Location: Thadolere Location: The Stone Hold Sleepless Nights in Pestille A gang of magic mimes has been going to various casinos, museums, and noble houses and stealing precious artifacts. Job is to track them down and capture them. Artifacts range from pieces of great value to pieces with only familial ties. The party will have to take eyewitness accounts from a couple locations, they will be able to find some clues, a sword with a blacksmith's stamp on it, who mentions making 4 weapons like that for a group of mutes, he only interacted with one of them, never saw faces, and they wrote everything down on parchment. On the back of the note the blacksmith has, they can find a green stamp, somewhat faded, and unfortunately illegible. Another eyewitness says they saw the carriage, a green color with lanterns hanging all around the side, the horses in bright pink bridles with large purple feathered plumes off the tops of their heads. At the next location there will be a piece of dark purple cloth, torn from a cape or cloak perhaps, caught on part of the fence where the culprits escaped. One of the guards here fought with them, and mentions at one point feeling like they had trapped him in an invisible box, which lasted a few moments, until they disappeared. Another guard fought two at once and says he got a good look. Black and white face paint, nothing in particular just covering up features. They had on black and white striped outfits too, under their purple cloaks. Last spot will have a piece of torn parchment, a list of locations, two of which the party has visited and they are crossed off the list. One place remaining. The party is able to wait and ambush the thieves, but they will be beaten and the thieves will escape. The party is going to see a sign somewhere, depicting a leonin ringmaster surrounded by elephants and clowns juggling, and above it, "Lu'ci Bwalu's Circus Extravaganza" and on the lower right corner, a familiar shape, looking like the green stamp on the parchment from the blacksmith. They go to a show and find the carriage and the horses, Lu'ci the ringmaster is wearing a purple cloak, and mimes wearing black and white striped outfits are seen during the show. 4 of the mimes are the culprits, can be determined by a fresh scar on the face, which one of the guards claimed to have landed. When confronted he will run, triggering the other three to run. They explain they were working for Lu'ci, who has some of the stolen goods, has sold some of the others. They were recent hires, 4 young brothers who grew up in the streets. They worked for a couple years and then Lu'ci started sending them out on extra jobs, threatening to fire them over poor work performance if they didn't do their extra credit. Badda bing, case closed, cuprits and mastermind caught. The nearby Fort has been overtaken by an outfit of Bloody Baron Mercenaries, headed by Urog the Skull Breaker. To be quite plain, the Crimiorian forces aren't too interested in reclaiming it. I have quite an investment in the guard being in charge of that fort, with shipments of fine wines imported through into Thadolere, and I have already missed a few shipments. I'm certain the wines are all gone, but this slight cannot stand. If they are dispatched, the Crimiorian military will be forced to occupy once more, and protect my precious shipments. If the stories of Urog do not make you quiver in your boots, and the challenge of dispatching an entire outfit of mercenaries seems like something you could do, please come find me at my home in Thadolere. My manor is by the eastern docks, just below the hill looking down at the Serpent, the building south of the bakery with the green door. The Client is the acting lord of Klyne, appointed by Klaus' mother. Klaus being the groom that disappeared in the catacombs the day of the Great Quake. He sees the party without hesitation, the path to the castle barely obstructed, only by a small handful of agitated guards, who either get too distracted to notice the party slip by or don't care enough to stop them. "Oh thank heavens, I'm so pleased you're all here, please, something must be done. Just the beginning of last week, at night, the song *shivers* can be heard. It plays for hours, all through the night, it seems to come from somewhere in the city, but if you try to plug your ears it just, seeds into your mind, echoing around from within. No one, so far, has been able to find a source to this music, although there were reports of a shadowy figure seen at the locations of
