Montage:
Khezzik gets the Jade elephant and leaves the card as instructed. It was easy! The elf was not even there and if there were any wards, they were disabled. He returns to the underground basement with his prize and is very well received.
Well done prospect! You are the first to finish your challenge. Keep the elephant if you wish, we just wanted to know if you could do it.
You are a kobolt, right? You guys like the underground. Then I would send you to our underground barracks at Jester's Court in Castle Ward. There you have access to a lot of our tunnels, a safe place to sleep and eat. He opens a book and takes out a note.
Give this to the balled dwarf and he will set you up. He can also give you the tattoo, or you can find an artist in town
Khezzik meets the dwarf, that welcomes him to their group. A small human, the dwarf, another kobolt, and a black scaled Dragonborn. They all have the tattoo somewhere, identifying them as part of Xanathars guild. Khezzik can see that the dwarfs tattoo work is crude. The Dragonborn offers to find a buyer for the Jade Elefant and suggests a tattoo artist, that can work harder skin.
It is evening and Khezzik is on his way to the tattoo artist when a brown-skinned human-looking woman passes him in the street. He is tempted to pinch the heavy pouch she has on her belt. But when she pulls her hand out of it, there is no coins but a white powder. A powder she throws into his face. It tastes funny, and then everything goes black.
End of prolog.
