The Dark Delver Defector
Hook
An elven Dark Delver offered five hundred gold pieces for a defector hiding within Neblus’s Eternal Order and paid half in advance.
Evidence
- The hunter provided a dossier and paid 250 gp in advance.
- The party located the named target lecturing in Eternal Order vestments.
- His observed lecture contained only ordinary Eternal Order doctrine.
- The target identified himself as Duskren Kalvar and admitted that he formerly traveled with the Dark Delvers.
- Duskren described the organization as wealthy and secretive, digging toward a sacred mother deep underground.
- He retained a single spider leg from his time below but refused to show it.
- The party left Neblus without fulfilling the bounty.
Uncertainties
- The hunter’s personal identity and authority are unverified.
- The party does not know what knowledge Duskren allegedly spread or whether his religious claims are what prompted the bounty.
- The required fate of the target was not clearly recorded.
Next steps
- Decide whether to protect, capture, expose, or abandon Duskren.
- Examine the dossier and verify the hunter’s accusations.
- Clarify whether the contract requires capture, death, or some other outcome.
