Adventure Hook

Just outside of an industrial workshop in the Docks Ward, a young apprentice paces back and forth. She approaches the party and introduces herself as Nesta. She’s clutching a broken copper gear and explains that her mentor Bramen, a brilliant crane engineer who has vanished mid-shift after discovering a structural gap in the main foundry wall.

  • The Trigger: Should the party stop to speak with Nesta, the group learns of her missing mentor Bramen, and is asked if they will help find him.
  • The Objective: The party is asked to enter the maintenance tunnels beneath the foundry and locate Bramen. They discover he has been abducted by a gang who are trying to force him to hand over the master keys to the shipyard warehouses.
  • REWARDThey receive 30 silver pieces (sp) and a custom-tuned Mechanist’s Lens, which grants a +2 bonus to all Intelligence (Investigation) checks made to analyze complex machinery, locks, or structural weak points.
