The familiar haze of smoke and whispered deals greets you as you step back into the Thieves Guild. Shadows twist along the walls, and from the far corner, the hooded figure emerges, silent and deliberate as ever.
He hands you a small, folded note, stamped with the Grey Man’s mark. “Your next task is delicate, and dangerous,” he murmurs. “Return to the swamp to the south. There resides a hag, cunning and vicious, feared even among the denizens of shadow. She possesses a Resurrection Potion, a rare and potent elixir that will be crucial to the final stage of our undertaking.”
The figure leans closer, eyes glinting beneath the hood. “Be wary. The hag is no ordinary foe. Cunning, dark, and unpredictable—she will test your wits as much as your skill. Acquire the potion, and return swiftly. The Grey Man’s ultimate plan moves ever closer to its conclusion.”
With that, he melts back into shadow, leaving you with the faint scent of smoke and the weight of the challenge ahead.
