Job Board #4: The Doom Blades

In the corner of the party's room at the Adventuring Guild a white orb hovers over a pedestal. If approached, it glows in a warm light and displays messages for the group...




Message 1:
Hello, my name is Duke Lenrd Kidell. I have heard much of your group during your time in my home of Wrenhollow. Word has recently reached us regarding your run-in with the Cloud Giant. Well played if I say so myself. I contacted Rolf Giantsbane, who told me you had adopted the moniker "Doom Blades." Well, Doom Blades, I am in need of your assistance. His majesty, and our ruler, King Fyorc has ordered me to the Reach as his ambassador to attempt to strike a treaty with their leader Maritine. Even under normal circumstances, I would need an escort, but recently, I have felt an ever present shadow when I leave my manor. I have reason to suspect my life is in danger. Normally, a retinue of men-at-arms would suffice, but for this, I believe I need the Doom Blades. For your expertise and discretion, you will be handsomely rewarded.

Yours truly,
Duke Lenrd Kidell, Lord of Harfland Manor

As always Doomblades, you have my eternal thanks.

Well, I dare say, this is a unique piece of magikry, you say I just speak into? ....What's that Guildmaster?...You say it's already...OH DEAR!  Hello Doom Blades! I was recently in a Ale House by the name of the Screeching...Barking...Roaring...ah, yes! Roaring Knight! And I heard a lot of people shouting two words over and over! Doom...Blades...and I believe there was a Tibeldorf in there as well. Anywho, I am Professor Ignus Carbeth, professor of Archaeology at the University of Luthin in Metavia. I had been in town visiting family during the celebration of Sinal, and on my way here I discovered a ruin that I believe, if I'm not mistaken, has the structural sensibilities of the first founding! And yet, as I delve into the stack around here for information, it is not on any of the records! Quite miraculous! I was wondering if you all would help guide me through the ruins? You never know what kind of creatures and traps might have taken up residence in these...Guildmaster? Oh, I'm running out of time? Please send word. There are sure to be magical items of great value, of which, some I'm sure, may prove of use to your par....

This is a message from the town of Seven Peaks. We are in need of some adventuring. We were going to contact our hometown hero, Greg to help us out and see if he could get a party together, but then we heard you put him into one of his signature headlocks. Greg is old news, onward Doom Blades! Oh yeah, the mission. A local tribe of Lessermen are raiding our village and demanding tribute. Their leader is boisterous and a braggart, a shaman of some sort. We were hoping you could put him in his place. We can't pay much gold, but we do have a town treasure that you might find useful. Plus, we know for a fact that the Shaman has a variety of his own in his collection. Let us know. Also, if you see Greg, tell him not to come back.

Never mind folks, we got Greg to take care of it with his new group! Looks like he is running with some folks called Broken Grace. Good luck in the future!
