Adventurers and Explorers Needed
Extended trip into the area known as "Hilltop Ruins"
A guide, as well as several adventurers that are combat-capable are requested for assistance in acquiring spell-component related materials and research materials from the area known to the general population as the "Hilltop Ruins," as well as the tunnels beneath. The primary goal of the expedition will be to recover these components, as well as seek out the individual reportedly held within, known as the colleague of the researcher working in the graveyard near the city of Baldur's Gate, in order to recover any findings he may have regarding the origin and purpose of the ruins.
According to popular and well-sourced local information, expected dangers to encounter include kobolds (some of which possess magical potency, alchemical prowess, and spell-like capabilities), bladelings, imps, with the potential of encountering a wyrmling.
Components that have been confirmed to be unique enough to the area that are to be recovered include a local species of moss, jaelian glowshroom, bladeling blood, and Hyleria's Ivy, all of which will be recovered for the purposes of the Employer.
The trip is to take place on the 10th of Kythorn, just before the rising of the new moon. We will meet as early as an hour before departure at the campsite located south of Wyrm's Crossing. Sign your name and profession before the 9th of Kythorn, as these notices will be collected.
Upon returning from the trip to the Employer's satisfaction, payment of no less than 4,000 gold will be split equally among those assisting in the expedition.
*Below, a mercenary's contract was detailed in fairly point form, with such limiters as open worship of proscribed religions being prohibited in accordance with local laws and culture, the desire for the Employer's decisions (in best consultation with the skills of the other party members) being final, the desire for party members to supply their own healing items, any 'loot' being found to be split equally at the end of the trip at a merchant of the Employer's choosing, the right to refuse anyone interested for any reason, the right to cancel the trip at any point, the cost of ressurections being deducted from the total end split, and an assurance that nothing is assured but the payment - come at your own risk and danger!*

OOC Stuff: Hey folks. This is a player-driven event that's going down monday night in one of the more interesting places of the server - the hilltop ruins! This is a great opportunity for lower level characters to get a bit of gold, xp, and introduce themselves - as well as RP out some neat lore and intrigue. Since this is based in a lower level area, I would kindly ask that characters that are over level 10 to carefully consider their active attendance. While I would never ban anyone from coming outright, both OOCly and ICly, I'm certain you can understand the desire not to have any encounters, both natural or DM'd (if one was so inclined to participate, which they certainly don't have to) not to be cheesed by greater missile storms. That said, if you have a higher level character who wants to passively participate, I would love it if you came. You know who you are if you fall into that category!
WHEN: Monday, June 10th, 9PM EST (11 PM GMT)
DURATION: Difficult to say, but if it goes on longer than 3 hours, we'll begin working an excuse to leave.
WHERE: Wyrms Crossing Campground
If there's any questions at all, please leave a message here, and if there's any in-character things I may have missed, I reserve the right to retcon things in the note. It is 5 AM as of the moment I write this, of course, and I might be thinking loopy. XD
