As you waited in the lobby of the Twelve's Sharn offices, you looked around, seeing a few other people doing the same.
Thinking back to why you came here, you recall the letter sent to you, saying that you were being requested for a brief job, that the branch head wished to keep on the quiet side.
The meeting room's doors open shortly.
"Ah, the people I contacted. Come in, come in." A male voice says in a rather boisterous tone.
Walking in, you scanned the room, seeing a large table in the center, ten chairs around it, with one seat filled.
The man sitting in the chair is old, his hair already graying, and is wearing a practical outfit suitable for wizards to wear at meetings.
"Now then, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Shulal d'Cannith, head of the Sharn branch office of the Twelve." Shulal says, nodding as he does so.
"I called you here because a small... unofficial, expedition that I sent to the Eldeen Reaches a month ago failed to report back on time. I want you to investigate the area that they said they were going to make camp in, and report your findings to me." He continues, setting a simple folder on the table and sliding it to the place closest to you.
"You will be paid a thousand gold each for completing this mission, and a packet containing the information you will need will be given to you to study en-route."
"A map to the location is inside the packet. As for the reason of the expedition... I had heard rumors of an artifact that appeared to date several thousand years there, and I dispatched them to investigate it."
"Unfortunately, our first report from the expedition indicated that scrying and similar methods are not effective in the area around the artifact. In addition, I could only draw upon this branch's mages for my investigations, and they... Tend to be more... Flashy than that." Shulal continues, as though addressing the topic of , before looking around.
"Now, I have arranged transport for you to the point where the expedition split from the main trail. I hope that you have good luck on this mission." He finishes, indicating that the meeting is over.

Arriving at the lightning rail station the next day, tickets in hand, you are guided to a first class car.
Inside the car, there are two free compartments, with the third being entered by a nervous looking gnome carrying a case with the House Sivis coat on its side.
After you're shown where you're staying for the trip, the lightning rail begins moving, carrying you towards your destination.
Ask questions in OoC regarding the packet you all were given, and I'll post answers. I'm also setting this up to have an initial combat encounter to gauge strength, roughly. Guess what it'll be. :smalltongue:
