King of the Hill (1 of 13)

Briefing

While the royal family does not officially condone the fighting between Methros and Arachnan, they do not see it as any major threat to their claim to power in this region. To that end they are willing to let it continue as the infighting is bringing a much needed economic boost to the region. With this in mind, it is our duty to monitor the conflict and inform the Emperor and his council should either of the parties engage in business detrimental to the empire. We have a mission suited to your talents my friend. Lord Methros and Arachnan have secret outposts inside their sphere of influence in Araz, from where they conduct various operations. We are of course aware of these outposts, as the Emperor Family has ears and eyes in all corners of the Empire, figuratively speaking of course. I want you to make an unannounced visit to these outposts and retrieve an encrypted data burst located inside them. I want you to start with Lord Methros' outpost. I'll give you a bookmark to it's exact location, of course. I will inform his guards of your visit as soon as you arrive, since doing it any earlier would compromise your mission.
