For twenty-three years, the prison in Lockenport's Old Town has been shuttered and abandoned. After the winter uprisings in 187, and the unfortunate murder of the popular leader of the Fisherman's Guild, the prison was sealed by public decree.
Now, special permission has been obtained from Lockenport's Congress for a group of Irregulars to enter the prison. Their goal lies not within the prison itself, but below. For the prison was built on the side of a wide, seemingly bottomless hole into the depths beneath the city. It is known as the Pit, and in decades passed, “He shall be committed to the Pit” was a common sentence for serious criminals, who would be duly hoisted into the dark depths, never to be seen or heard from again.
Yozian Tammelnor is Head of Antiques and Relics for the Irregulars. He has been examining the guild's archives, and believes that a magical item known as the Crown of the Brilliant Sun may be in the possession of a troglodyte tribe living near the Fungus Fields deep in the Pit. This crown would be useful in the battle against Vedroth's legions, and finding it is the goal of this mission.
There are numerous mission reports in the Irregulars archives concerning visits to the Pit, so the first mission to return to this legendary part of Lockenport in more than two decades carries a certain level of distinction. However, it also carries a warning. The depths of the Pit are dangerous, and the “fatalities” entry for many of the old mission reports is comprehensive.
The purse for this mission is 1000 gp per Irregular participating. In addition, each participant may have first rights on any one treasure recovered during the mission, with the exception of the Crown of the Brilliant Sun itself.
Case number: 210/01/147
Irregulars participating: Ash (1618), Luusi (9999), Lark (777), Kat (888), Ubu (3699), Zimmijon (5765),
Leader: Zimmijon
Summary: The mission to recover the Crown of the Brilliant Sun from the Pit was a success. In addition, the group also located the Bracelet of the Radiant Storm, and agreed to sell it to the Guild. Valuable intelligence about the state of affairs in the Fungus Fields region of the Pit was also obtained.
Fatalities: This mission has a “significant chance of death” warning attached to it. Sections 73, 78 and 81 of the standard mission contract were therefore waived by the Guild. All members of the group returned safely, however.
Notes:
Declarations: Crown of the Brilliant Sun, Bracelet of the Radiant Storm, a set of magical chainmail armor, a few potions, gemstones (worth 4300 gp), coin (worth 2600 gp), and six pairs of silt shoes (slightly worn).
Commendations: Both Lark and Zimmijon were noted for commendation, although Lark commended himself. So modest.
Leadership: “Well, he didn't get us killed.”
