The familiar scent of smoke and shadow welcomes you back to the Thieves Guild. The low murmur of plotting voices fills the air, but your attention is drawn immediately to the corner where the hooded figure awaits. He steps forward, boots silent, and passes you a folded note.
“The Grey Man’s task grows ever more dangerous,” he whispers, voice threading through the smoke. “Your next prize lies to the east.
