The arrival of a new gang leads to a missing persons case and a missing crate, Talfaux’s crate in fact. This week Talfaux’s Crate is unaccounted for and somewhere in an abandoned warehouse it lays shattered and empty. Intriguing? I would hope so!
So grab a coffee, hit the streets and let’s stroll through tonight’s adventure!
It’s no secret that larger cities bring about rumours of all natures. The city of Traves has something for nearly everyone however the rumours that are currently being spread are not of its pleasantness, the rich nightlife or the market. A bungled robbery, a missing figurehead of the city and a ghostly apparition that cries desperately for help before disappearing.
All these occurrences happened when a new gang entered the city and allegedly robbed a warehouse of a wealthy merchant that dealt in magic items. Since then the other gangs in the city have become quieter as a new power has risen in the city. The party has been called in to investigate the gang and the reports of the ghostly figure that has started to manifest in the streets before someone else disappears.

The party watched the merchant sitting in front of them cry, swear, hit the table and finally sit perfectly still while cleaning up the mess they had made. The messenger who had walked in to report another theft from the Talfaux mercantile company appeared as though they were expecting to be struck by the man.
“Thank you for the report,” he paused as he shot a sideway glance at the messenger.
“Tim sir,” the messenger replied after a heartbeat.
“Yes, thank you Tim. I will hope that the guards are increased so that we don’t have another unfortunate incident in the coming days.” the merchant, Rose Talfaux, replied. The messenger nodded and took this as his queue to leave like a mouse scurrying before a cat.
“As you can see I have a need for your services. It is not just the tracking down of a particularly dangerous missing crate but also the end of the thefts that have been occurring since the BlueJays appeared. This gang of thieves and urchins are making a mockery of any honest business and I need them gone.” Rose said. The broad man counted on his fingers silently while thinking before sighing. “For each crate you can return of my wares I will pay you two hundred gold pieces. A bonus three hundred if you can see to it that the gang do not trouble me again… I mean do not trouble the city again and are dealt with the authorities.” he emphasised the last word with a raise of his neat eyebrows.
“There is also the city guard investigating the disappearance of one of their own – Ramez. A good man he was, they may have further work for you if you can investigate Ramez at the same time as I am sure the gang is behind it to. That or that ghastly apparition that has been seen near the warehouses in the southern district.” Rose said with a visible distaste for either the district or the mention of the apparition the party were not sure.
A fun one this week as the party investigate three things. However nothing is ever what it seems and sometimes starting with the smallest point can lead to the biggest reward. But more on that as we expand this weeks adventure day by day this week. So don’t forget to come back each day this week to stay on top of this weeks adventure and as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
