To Giovanni Di Floria,
What follows is a report of my investigations towards the asset currently held by an organisation of dubious reputation:
My prior engagements with such an organisation have come at bodily harm. As such, I have elected to acquire a small team of individuals to provide me with assistance in the enquiries and investigation made. Two Bards (Halfling, High Elf) and two other covert and rougish individuals (Human, Yuan-ti.) We made contact with an individual named “Two-Fingers” (Human Male), a cardshark located at the Three-Headed Dragon. Through pressuring him for information, we were able to acquire the location where we could find another information broker- who I personally, with the High Elf, engaged in discourse with.
He proved most helpful to our cause- providing us with the locations of various storehouses for this Organisation. He also highlighted his knowledge of safehouses utilised by said organisation. However, I chose not to further pry into these matters. I have reason to believe this locales would be ever-changing and when said information reached you, it might already have become outdated. Furthermore, I did not see it of note towards the objective at hand. Should you wish for said locations however, please contact me and I can open lines of inquiry.
Our first locale we investigated was an Occult Goods store, close to the Daring Heights Academy. I was informed it had a tally of 3 individuals- one store manager (Dragonborn, Male, Elderly) and two storehands/security. (Both Tiefling, Male Young, Female Older). The Bards and Yuan-ti made a preliminary attempt to investigate to little success. I fear some suspicion may have been aroused in their actions but I do believe they were oriented towards the goal of locating this asset. A second attempt of investigation involved the Bards and Yuan-ti drawing the storestaff to the front of house, enabling myself and my more thievery-aligned compatriot to enter via the back of the building’s storehouse.
I can confirm this storehouse held many shelves of items likely relating to the building’s front as a “reputable” occult goods store, but upon the investigation of a Trapdoor, I can confirm it is additionally holding assets of the organisation, bearing their markings and bound in chains with spellbooks and tomes written in what I can only imagine to be Infernal. My colleague and I absconded, but not before he requisitioned an asset of theirs. We later rejoined with our artistic companions, and moved to Graveside- where we investigated the second most likely site, a morgue/coffinmakers, opposite to the location where I had confirmed the presence of a similar asset on prior occasions.
Me and the Halfling made our way inside (I was disguised, since I have reason to believe the organisation are knowledgeable to my appearance), and we were met with the coffinmaker- an undead individual. We perused the store, and came across the asset I believe we were in sight of. A sizable coffin, made of a distinct wood with holes within. It was large- the salesman claimed it was to be for a Goliath. I do not believe his report. He seemed to be alone- but given that the man was risen from the dead and the store held several other corpses, I would not be surprised if the dead would awaken in the defence of this store.
The locale of this Storage will be annotated on the map of locations, and I hope this information will be beneficial towards the company. I am grateful to you for offering me this opportunity, I hope that my service was of standard- and that you may entrust me with further work in the future.
Regards,
Pyrin Branch
