Underdark Expeditions,

I have come into some information about a Tormish shrine abandoned long ago, with its current occupants unknown.

It is located near the Duergar settlement of Mutulakt, and this may be a two part assignment for you.

First, I would like you to scout the area, and see what there is to be learned of this shrine and the dangers of searching it, including a "dark force" briefly mentioned in my research.

Second, it might be necessary to find transportation in some type of watercraft. It is undesirable to charter a vessel with a kobold, kuo-tuon, or some other monster of loathsome character.

Finally, if you have information of the sort we discussed, it would be greatly appreciated.

Tormtar Wellington,

Mutulakt is an odd place for a shrine of Torm to be in or near, but I'm more than willing to search for it. If possible, access to your research would help speed things along considerably.

Considering the dangers of dealing with Duergar and Kuo-toa, and the costs associated with the trip (550 gold there and back by boat), I must ask for 750 gold in advance, as initial payment. We can work out a final tally upon my success.

Hiring a shipbuilder would likely run for more coin then you can afford, so I assume I'll be finding an "abandoned" boat for your use. I'll scope some out and let you know more.

As for information, the woman has seemingly disappeared, though I'm still looking for her and others.

Lady Arlen,

I have enclosed the letter from Adelia Tyrell concerning her research of the shrine.
