The Adventurer's Guild, being little more than an extremely relaxed mercenary company, of course has briefing rooms and like areas created purely for interaction with potential clients, and it is one of these rooms that you sit now, across from a hume man, well dressed in the attire of an affluent nobleman or merchant who waits patiently for the last of your number to arrive.

You can't be certain which, for while normally the Guild informs you of the status, if not the name and station, of your clients, you were informed only that you had an offer from a client who would prefer to remain anonymous. You were, however, assured of his good standing with the guild, quieting most, if not all, worries of dark motives or insufficient funding.

As the last of you take a seat he clears his throat audibly, wasting no time before drawing your attention. Almost immediately he begins to speak pacing back and forth at the front of the room, "Firstly, allow me to introduce myself. I am Malik Niris, and I represent the Council of Four. The situation is as follows: One week ago the City of Maris went dark. We've had no communications, and no travelers have returned from the area in that time."

Stopping he turns to gauge your facial expressions before continuing, giving you no time to interject quite yet, "We have reason to believe a... clandestine organization may be involved."

"Regardless," He continues as he turns to pace once more, the movement helping keep his mind focused, "An entire township going dark could cause inordinate amounts of panic, and that's why we need you to go in and see what has happened—going through normal channels would be too insecure. The payment shall be three thousand five hundred gil upon satisfactory conclusion. That is five hundred per head. Is this acceptable?"
