Quest for Daguerreotypes on Feytasy Island: Epilog

When Nimrod and the other members of the Bad Decisions Guild gave the daguerreotypes to the Gynosphinx, the Sphinx was very amused by the daguerreotypes and helpfully decoded the burned papers. Here is the section you can now read: 

This section appears to pick up in the middle of a list of political figures who'd had business dealings with the Golden Orchid Society
House Bedegar of the Underdark--for the removal of a political rival 
House Embershine of Varda--for the removal of a romantic rival 
Ienerta Surgilda, lord mayor of Varda--for the suppression of scandal

The list here becomes difficult to read. The next legible section appears to be a list of recent jobs.

  • Recovery of weapon of shadow Department: The School Expected mortality: predominantly nonsentients Status: failed due to death of agents. Minister Danzibri refunded money in full (3,500 gp).

  • Assassination of Tolvath Rutsk Department: The Maze Expected mortality: Rutsk and at least three personal guards Status: complete, Rutsk's head delivered to House Makhi in exchange for second half of payment (6,000 gp).

  • Supply of Suitable Magical Experimental Subjects Department: The School Expected Mortality: humanoid subjects can be delivered either dead or alive Status: ongoing. Payment of 100 gp per suitable (good physical condition, adult humanoids, obtained without arousing suspicion) experimental subject. To date, 21 have been delivered to the site at #3 Sto Helit Lane, Welton


  1. Your independent research in the library informed you that the communal behavior of mimics has been the subject of great interest in recent years by ahem morally gray mages, especially following the publication of a paper by a necromancer wizard writing under a pen name.
  2. There have been persistent rumors of a necromancer in Welton, due to a number of townsfolk who went missing several years ago, and some severed body parts washing up in the city sewers recently, even though no people seem to have been vanishing from Welton itself of late.

 

Upon reaching the Annabelle Lee's home port, Nimrod received a magical pen (a +2 rod of the pact keeper) from Kas HQ to help him better fight unicorns after HQ learned how a unicorn kicked his ass. Nimrod is now also equipped with a Brooch of Shielding, which protects him from force damage and magic missiles.
