Monstrous Ambitions

Malri gathers all of you in her apartments in Ivy Towers on the Upper Menthis plateau. These apartments serve as her home, and your offices. She sits you all down and describes her newest contract. It's the Sharn Watch this time. A Watch sergeant, Germaine Vilroy, has approached Malri concerning a warforged named Coal. Apparently, Coal has a friend named Razor. Coal is worried they might be mixed up in something unsavory down in Khyber's Gate. Khyber's Gate, one of the undercity districts that honeycomb the plateaus of Sharn. The population there is Droaamites, monsters, and criminals. Coal says that her friend Razor had been hired by a construction company doing renovation work in Khyber's Gate. The company had hired a lot of other warforged too. In fact, they only hired warforged. Coal hadn't seen much of Razor since they'd begun working for the company. When Coal did see Razor they'd share stories of the crazy work that they were doing. They weren't really building anything. They had gone down, past the tenements of Khyber's Gate into a part of Sharn that Razor had no idea existed. The warforged workers had broken down an adamantine gate that led into a sprawling series of chambers. The warforged were excavating these chambers. The work was dangerous. Magical traps, elemental guardians and the unstable caves were a constant threat. Razor had described the place to Coal, saying that the murals and arabesques on the walls were strange and hypnotic. The place seemed like a temple to something that Razor couldn't understand. Furthermore, Razor said that the overseers of the excavation weren't the humans that had hired them. The overseers were Droaamite species like beastmen, Dhakaani, ogres and trolls. The overseers were harsh too. They never let the warforged leave the dig site except for rare occasions. It was on such an occasion that Razor last talked with Coal. It has been a week now since Coal last heard from Razor and they worried that their friend might have come to some kind of harm. Coal reached out to the Watch and found Sgt. Vilroy. Vilroy said that the Watch couldn't commit resources to investigating 'forged in the undercity, but they could put out a contract to a private investigative service. Thus, Vilroy has contracted Malri to interview Coal and find out what is happening to the warforged in the undercity. Coal lives in the ghetto of High Walls in the district of lower Tavick's Landing. They can most likely be found at The Spot. The Spot is a warforged club. Vilroy says the contract's pay will be 375 galifars (gold piece equivalent). Malri has graciously accepted such a handsome sum and has assured Vilroy that her people will have results in no time.
