Bounty Hunters - Session 1

Setting: Dragonfly Inn

- Lyannia Othelio, of the Othelio family (family that controls the University's 'sphere'), contacts the crew to recover some 'mundane' books of historical importance which were stolen from the reserve section of the university library. Because they have to do with the founding of the city, the theft is embarrassing. It is theorized that they were stolen for their $$$ value. - Want them recovered before they disappear into a private collection. - Sicne theft was from secure region of library, likely an inside job. - Missing student: Eurasmus Draddrin. No evidence pointing to him otherwise. He doesn't have access to the reserve himself, so he would have needed help. His main alchemical professors are Graggar the Grey and Eadrin Syrill. - Likely lived in Scholar's Quarter. Lyannia says he was considered a poor student, may be a gambler. No other info on Erasmus. - Payment terms: 2k gold, 200g upfront. Full for return of books and Draddin, or proof of his non-involvement "to my satisfaction." Partial payments for information but failure, or getting the docs but not the thief. Bonuses for accomplices: names, proof. - The theft: doors were locked and undisturbed. No conjuration residue. Best guess: Gaseous Form + maybe Dimension Door. Likely could not have cast DD himself; maybe it was cast on an item for him. GF requires concentration, which implies accomplices. - Only specific documents taken, so looks like there was a 'target list'.
