1
+While attempting to land at the Great Docks of [Capital](Capital), your
2
+smuggling ship is intercepted by a clipper of [House Verona](House Vorona). It's
3
+a customs inspection!
4
+
5
+An hour later and it's all over. You've been caught red-handed trying to smuggle
6
+gunpowder into the City of Capital. Well, not you specifically. [Captain
7
+Oriel](Captain Oriel)
8
+didn't tell you what was in the cargo hold when she hired you as bodyguards. But
9
+that detail isn't likely to matter now.
10
+
11
+The Scrutineer boards the [Revelation](Revelation) flanked by her marines. She
12
+swoops into the captain's cabin, and Oriel and your group are ushered into an
13
+impromptu audience.
14
+
15
+There, sitting haughtily in the captain's own chair, [Rowenna](Rowenna)
16
+introduces herself and offers you a surprising deal.
17
+
18
+> I'm within my rights to seize your vessel and throw you into prison. As you are
19
+> no doubt aware, blackpowder is a controlled substance in Capital. However, a
20
+> letter I've received this morning has altered my priorities.
21
+— Rowenna

23
+Rowenna's sister [Ashleigh](Ashleigh) lives in [Broadhurst](Broadhurst), a small
24
+town in [Dalrath](Dalrath), back across the Bay. The [Goblin Queen
25
+Bargnot](Bargnot) has been making incursions into the surrounding lands. Years
26
+ago, Bargnot was driven out by the people of Broadhurst. It's clear now that she
27
+has rebuilt her forces, and not much of a leap to presume that she's out for
28
+revenge.
29
+
30
+Ashleigh has not been able to convince local mercenaries to help her. In
31
+desperation, she reached out to her sister Rowenna in Capital.
32
+
33
+> My bosses will not let me use House resources to help a foreign backwater. You
34
+> have a ship, you have weapons, and you are at my mercy. So—if you refuse, I
35
+> turn you over to the city. But if you help my sister, I'll release your
36
+> blackpowder from our warehouses. I'll even write you an import license.
37
+— Rowenna
38
+
39
+It's not a choice at all. You take the Revelation back across [Blackbottom
40
+Bay](Blackbottom Bay) and lay in at the small port town of [Sealton
41
+Heath](Sealton Heath). You leave Oriel, hire a carriage, and proceed north.
42
+Finally, you are greeted by the inviting lights of the [Feather Bed Inn](Feather
43
+Bed Inn), Broadhurst's tavern.
44
+
45
+Tired from your journey, you sit down for a drink. But you barely taste your ale
46
+before the doors slam open.
47
+
48
+It's a wild-eyed woman in her late thirties, wearing a soot-stained apron and a
49
+bleeding head wound. She recognizes you immediately and falls to her knees at
50
+your feet.
51
+
52
+> You're too late! My daughter was taken on the road by goblins. They took her
53
+> into the woods! Please, help me save my Violet!
54
+— Ashleigh
55
+
56
+It's Ashleigh. Her face is buried in her hands now. She knows what lies in the
57
+[Silver Woods](Silver Woods). They will take her daughter underground, to that
58
+haunted place. Down into the [Delian Tomb](Delian Tomb).
