After Alysten and her compatriots had dispensed with the last of their [[Returning to Return to Ruisti|obligations]] to the [[Allied Temples]], they still needed to wait for [[Corelda]] and her companions to return from [[Jar-Kahn (school)|Jar-Kahn]]. [[George]] went to [[Hanmer]] in order to contact [[Koku]], while the rest of the group decided to seek out some employment to increase their funds.

== Making inquiries ==
[[Frank Brandybuck]] went to the [[Investigators' Guild of Nazivonema]], of which he was a member, where he learned that [[Terylla]], a member of the [[Council of Merchants]], had requested aid to recover her lost brooch. Meanwhile, in the [[Red Dragon Inn]], the party was approached by  [[Toxanthropologos Chimaeranevis|Tox]], a mysterious [[proxy]] of [[Nevis]] who hid his face. He sought their aid with a [[Hunting Undead|mission]] to track down and destroy a powerful undead creature. The party decided to split their forces between the two missions.

== Before the split ==
The party went to Terylla's house, where they were met by her butler, [[Murch]]. He explained to them that he had been paying his employer's dues to the [[Thieves' Guild of Nazivonema|Thieves' Guild]] regularly for the past eight years through a contact named [[Leveldor]]. The brooch had been a gift from Terylla's late husband. Recently, a local antique dealer named [[Koroz]] had been making inquiries about purchasing the brooch.

[[Alysten]], [[Sevreen]], [[Gabriella]] and [[Molbo]] went to the [[Serrian School of Wild Magic]], where Alysten was training, to research the item and to have Molbo's magical axe identified. While Alysten checked on information with a local necromancer, Sevreen and [[Gillek]] went to try and make contact with Koroz by offering information regarding the [[Rod of Zathmore]].

Upon returning to the [[Red Dragon Inn]], they were met by an old friend, [[Shimwell Maranthis]], who arrived in the company of an Elven ranger, [[Josiah Gentleseed]], whom Gillek recruited to help. The group accompanying Tox departed at this time, promising to be back within a couple days.

== After the split ==
=== The wrong man ===
As the party waited to hear from Koroz, Josiah decided to attempt to track the other group, who was overdue. The group focused on a second suspect, another member of the Council named [[Numbithree]]. After discovering new construction in the back of his townhouse, [[NightShade]] arranged with the [[Thieves' Guild of Nazivonema]] to allow the group to break into the building the following night. Also, a message arrived from Koroz to accept a meeting the same day.

Sevreen and Gillek went to the meeting, with NightShade and [[Tolmyr]] standing lookout outside the house. Koroz offered the group 500 gold, but when the party refused, he called on several guards to attack the group. The four wound up killing everyone, although Sevreen was severely injured. They fled to a safe house, where Gillek gave her a [[potion of healing]].

Meanwhile, Josiah returned, telling the group he had tracked them to a cabin, but could not find them or pick up any trail from there. Tolmyr returned to the RDI and told him and Frank what happened. Frank went to the house and found that the authorities were already arrived. He went to report to his boss, a druid named [[Wiggins]], to decide what he should do from here. Wiggins said he would postpone the search of Koroz' house until the next day. However, it turned out that the man killed by the party was actually Numbithree posing as Koroz, and that the real Koroz had gone to [[Kimelis]] on business.

=== Revelation ===
The party eventually discovered that the medallion had been stolen by [[Mozenrath]], a powerful wizard from the [[Land of the Black Sand]].
