Story

I got a very intriguing offer last night. I need to aquire two gemstones I’m very familiar with:

Mystic Soul and Mystic Heart

It’s been a while since I plundered them out of Bonehoard and since then they have been
changing owners over and over again. My client informed me that Mystic Soul is currently in
Lord Gillian’s possession who has an old mansion in Eastport. Getting the Mystic Soul should
be routine but as for the Heart - well that is on display at The Bohn Baronial Museum.

I was told that the inner city of Bohn is closed from general public, guess the nobility there
wants to keep streets clear from us disreputable people. Luckily my client has thought of this
too. There’s a big shipment of high class food suplies leaving to an inn in Bohn. This
shipment should provide an easy way into Bohn’s inner city. Once I’m done with the
mansion, I should find my way into Gilbert & Son Shipping Company warehouse and board
the right shipment there. I must be carefull not to alert or harm any of the warehouse guards or
the plan will surely fail.

Getting both stones will be tricky but for the amount I’m getting paid, I’m willing to take
some serious risks.
