Don's Dilemma

Don looked a little frustrated "I chose Fighter because it was simple, i know who the bad guys are exactly and i punch them till they go away, simple and satisfying, but this quest is just not in my wheelhouse, in the real world i know how i would handle a situation like this but here, i don't know how to proceed,"

He explained his quest, it began with a simple bandit quest, find the bandits, kill the bandits, done, but when he looted the bandit leader he acquired a quest item, a letter requesting an assassination, the target was a man running for the position of mayor of one of the larger towns outside the main city.

Don had gone to the town and found the man still alive, he had survived but his wife and 2 daughters hadn't, he had assumed it was a bandit attack and put the request up on the job board where Don had found it, but when Don showed him the letter he flew into a rage, he recognized the writing , he had run the race for mayor with a friend running against him, he had though it was a friendly competition, it wasn't, his 'friend' had used their relationship to plan the attack, but he didn't want revenge, he had gotten over the loss and just wanted justice.

His wife had with her an old family heirloom, it was worth a massive sum and the ex-friend knew about it, there was no way he would have let bandits have something so valuable, there was no way he could sell it at the moment as it was easily identifiable, it also carried a enchant called 'soul imprint', Ulric knew that this was a gimmick enchant, it simply showed the image of the person who held it longest, since the wife was now dead the enchant wouldn't show her, and since she was the only one who held it for years whoever had it now would be shown instead, it wouldn't show anyone else unless they held it for longer.

"Wait, you have the letter in his handwriting, isn't that enough?" Ulric asked confused,

"In the real world, probably, but here forging is much easier, the heirloom would be damming evidence, that's why i need help, this quest calls for stealth and i am about as sneaky as a tank," Don explained,

"ok, i'm in, the one thing i can do is stealth, and i have a special hate for betrayal," Ulric nodded,

Don shared the quest with Ulric, there were a few restrictions, you couldn't enter the house illegally, so breaking in was out, and no killing as many staff were not criminals, Ulric smiled,

"no problem,"
