Employer:
New Alvurron.
Represented by a Merchant Captain acting as their factor.

Mission:
The High Lord of New Alvurron in Pasifika is looking for a party of mages to take some experimental potions and report back on the findings. In order for him to understand the effects of the potions he is only interested in hiring Mages who mainly employ standard magic. Warriors interested in learning a college immediately will also be considered though there may be some expense involved in the services of the Shriver who will assist.
He also has a small list of tasks to be done in Thonia he considers suitable to do while under the effects of the potion so that the results are 'natural'.

• Find what happened to an envoy sent to the region.
• Investigate rumours of a wing of Lesser Dragons roosting in the Ulanian massif, and determine colour and danger to the gem mines if so.
• Secure a shipment of gems from the mines of Sikassau.
• Secure a shipment of Hardwood from Gambay

Thonia is located about 2000 miles SSW of Seagate, on the NW Corner of the Southern Continent. Very little is known about it, though Guild parties have visited Azuria which is one of it's neighbours.

Pay:
40,000sp each (advanced to the guild). Expenses for each individual are expected to be paid from this.
30 Arcane Points
1 Quest Spell
Additional payments possible for solving of things above & beyond the initial brief.

Chapter One: In which a Cat becomes a Doggone Mage…

The Guild has received a request from the High Lord of New Elveron, a new town populated by gargoyles in Pasifika. They want volunteers, and have deposited 40,000 sp in the Guild Vaults. They require a party to partake of some experimental potions, and then perform a series of tasks (otherwise known as field tests). These tasks are to include:

Finding out what happened to their envoy.
Investigating a Ring of lesser dragons
Securing a shipment of gems
Securing a shipment of hard woods
Dropping a certain box into a suitable volcano…

We were given directions to a small camp in the Sea of Grass north of Brastor, together with a sealed letter of introduction. This was needed because Ben was not a mage. I bought a portable stove, and stowed it in Wordsmith’s chest. Plus lots of ingredients.

So, the afternoon of the Guild meeting we went shopping, I got to bake two batches of restorative cookies, while Latron did the greaters and Kerry did so long duration enchant armours.

1 Thaw

After breakfast, Ben turned himself into a fiery hound and cast wildfires. We run 250 miles on fire to the Sea of Grass (making sure we didn’t get within bowshot of any towns). Finally we came to a cluster of huts. We were by a young girl human on watch. Ben showed her the letter. She led us inside, explained how they could give a College, how it would work, and how much it would cost. Latron also discussed getting stronger, which proved to be very expensive. As were the spells he wanted. Ben decided that he’d like the Celestial college. They wanted his dog form in exchange. Latron purchased all the remaining water mage generals for 50000 sp. He screamed a lot, as they were added. Then Ben was taken to another hut to get his college in exchange for the dog form. Which took a while. And was evidently very painful. With Ben still a big unconscious cat, we decided to camp for the night. I had to make healing salves to help him recover. He was badly drained.

2 Thaw

We returned to the Guild around evening. Ben would need to rest for a few days, while I would make lots of restorative cookies.
