You find yourself within Magnimar, a coastal city within southern Varisia.
A warm summer day graced with a cool sea breeze allows for comfortable visits to any of Magnimar's markets, reading of books in one's apartment, pursuit of employment or any other activity one can dream to pursue.
When you return to your lodging, you find a note waiting for you. You've seen the handwriting before and recognize the neatly flowing script as belonging to Navaan Davik, a half-elf clothier who has given you opportunities to make coin before.
Each letter begins with your name, as if the author has taken the time to craft each missive individually.
Note from Davik wrote:
Dear [character],
Your assistance is once again requested.
Please meet me at the Frock and Frolic in the Bazaar of Sails tomorrow after sunset. The door will show the closed sign, but remain unlocked.
Let yourselves in.
ND
PS. I know how it is when trying to get started in town. Meals will be provided.
Over the last few months while working closely with Davik, your handler into the Consortium, you have noted that he ends his letters with a small hand-drawn snake below his initials.
Strangely, it is missing now.
