Documents, in the style of the image, in all usable formats that explain the quest in details and in a printer friendly version, and 4 maps in gridded/ungridded variations. This quest has a minimum CR of 8.

Obtaining the quest and its developments

The quest requires the presence of a clandestine arena in a disreputable neighborhood, and a port with at least one ship docked. You can:
  • Tie it, even in a mild way, to the backstory of one of the players;
  • Rumors have been circulating in the city in recent times: it is said that easy and fruitful work is offered only to the poor in the suburbs;
  • In a reputable tavern there is talk of clandestine fights in a pub in the slums.
In any case, the investigations lead to the clandestine arena.

The clandestine arena

Here, players will be able to discover that an unknown group is capturing underground combatants and taking them to an unknown location with the help of a Diviner. They are all poor targets, who tend to stay away from sight, in search of economic redemption. They will be able to decide whether to fight back, deceive the spies present, follow the target and so on.

The ambush

The target elf will be ambushed regardless of party interventions. If they haven’t followed him, they’ll find him chained to the ship.

The ship

Here the actual combat will take place: 3 Assassins and a Diviner, together with the crew, will give the group a hard time, reducing them to slavery if they manage to capture them. If the party defeats them, a letter to decipher can take your campaign in any direction you want. Have fun!
