Chapter 3
Day 4 - Moonday the 4th of Gozran, 4711

You wake to find the common room of the Inn as it has been, wait staff cleaning and the continuing battle for the ownership of the bar between the Dwarf and the large cat. After everyone has had time to settle downstairs and partake of their breakfast, you see Guen emerge from the kitchen and nod to you as she heads upstairs. After a few minutes she returns and comes over to the table. ”Good morning all, I trust you all got a good rest last night.” She smiles and hands Mangur the key to the 2nd floor meeting room. ”I’ve been instructed that it’s yours until you no longer have need for it.” As she begins to turn away she says ”I’ve left something up there for you.” she then flutters over to another table of patrons.

Upon investigating the meeting room you find two letters in the center of the table. One is like the others you have previously received and the second is on a strange, heavy paper stock and smells of vermilion and cloves.

I want to state that you have preformed admirably these last few days. Now the time has come for the real work to begin.

There is a minor nobleman coming into town today. He has three enchanted blades that I want to purchase from him. You will make contact with him and negotiate the sale. He wishes to avoid the notice of certain local interests, including the authorities. He believes, possibly correctly, that they are being paid by rivals to disrupt his activities. He is arriving by carriage today at noon. He will be staying in the Grand Fellmont Inn in old town. He will be departing on a ship tomorrow morning at 9:30. You must complete the transaction in this time. You should make contact with his valet Mr. Simmons at the Inn. Show him the token and indicate you have ‘come for the stamps’.

I need you to confirm the quality and enchantments of the items. If all is as promised then try to negotiate for the best price you can get without exceeding a total of 22,000 sails. When you have negotiated a final price return to Gueneph and she will provide you with the capital. He may try to get you to transport the funds yourself, do not agree to this. Make him send some of his security to assist you. Finally, you will return the swords to Gueneph. Be careful in returning with them, I don’t anticipate a double cross from him but his enemies may try to interfere.

I have included his description of the blades for you.

Almost as soon as you get started there is a knock at the door. It opens slowly and Guen steps in. She is carrying another sack and places it and a note on the table. "I thought you might want this. If you need anything else, just ask." She smiles at everyone and turns, heading back out the door.

Please retrieve 3 Books from the temple of Iodemae in Grayguard’s Shadow. You will show the token to Alene Vandaric in order to pick them up.

I am expecting a delivery of eight vials, arriving on the Singing Swan reaching port this afternoon at Pier 7. You will go aboard and speak to the captain once the ship has docked. He will exchange the bottles for the 150 sails. He will also provide you with the needed papers to remove them from the ship should you be questioned by the harbormaster.

Return these to Gueneph

The bag contains 150gp.

Once again you see the bag contains coins and beneath the bag is a note.

I have ordered a custom item produced by Yawin at Garmyn Hand in Abby Green. Show him the token to confirm the pick up. Please also retrieve the following.

2 pounds of Powdered Iron
1 Packet of ground Mica
1 Tuning Fork
5 Darkflares from the Ram's Bazaar

At 8pm tonight you will meet a man by the name of Ionial Ustalic at the Green Wyrm tavern near the docks. The bartender will direct you to him. You will purchase from him a box containing 4 ivory carvings for 40 platinum crowns.

Return these items to Gueneph.

The bag contains 40pp and 17gp.

The early spring morning is brisk but warming quickly. As you move through the Abby Green district, you see it's a lively, colorful area with lots of small shops and eateries. As you watch the movement of people going about their business, you can tell that although there are some obvious tourists here, this area seems to be favored by the locals.

As you ‘chat up’ some of the locals you quickly find there are several distinct areas of town in both the north and south ends of the city, separated by the docks in the middle. On the North side of town you have Old Cassomir, Threegates, and Abbey Green. South of the docks you have Admiral’s Fen and Grayguard’s Shadow, which is just south of Castle Grayguard. You also hear talk of ‘the Dog’s Teeth’ but don’t get a good sense of what that is. Having just left the Standing Ogre, you are currently in Abbey Green, the area of town just north of the abandoned Abbey.

As you examine it, the bundle itself is a finely made leather sack containing what appears to be coins. Underneath the bag is a simple sheet of parchment folded in half. As you open it it reads:

Please purchase the following items and return them to Gueneph at the Standing Ogre.

4 Waterproof Sacks
8 Glass Bottles
8 Iron Vials
2 Vials of Nushadir and 2 Packages of Wolfsbane from the Blue Pick in Admiral's Fen
1 Pot of Grease from the Ram's Bazaar in Old town
3 Wooden Rods from Stocher's Bowery in Abby Green
They are being held under the name Grenzlen.

Inside the bag are 80 gold coins
