"There are some great fools in this city," Tombo continues. "This morning, the vaults under the tower of Morza Saint of Coins were found totally bare and empty — except for a single red feather, as of a blood crow. Naturally, Morza wants to know who was responsible. A prize has been quietly offered, but I personally am not willing to poke around people who can enter a wind-lord's tower and leave again with all its treasure. I know you're not a great fool, but are you greedy enough to take this job?"
(Morza Saint of Coins is an incredibly vain arcane mathematician who never leaves its tower, but communicates throughout the city by psychic projections. Noxmorte never has had the "pleasure" of its acquaintance.)
