There are some things you need to know.
First: You are know as the Nessian Knot.
You are going to help the other members in a mission in balentyne.
To help you, the cardinal gave you 2500gp to buy supplies (the initial gold), a silver pendant with asmodeus simbol, and an Iron Circlet, that is the same things as a Hat of Disguise. Everyone has one of those.
More than that, you felt, this same day, when you meet the others at the inn, the conctract being broken. But you know not the reason.
