* Briefing *

I was recently contacted by one Lord Traymen. A rare crystal caught his eye on display at
the summer home of Lady Decress, and he's offering me a handsome sum of coin to be able to display
it in his instead. He told me that Lady Decress always has guests, so even after dark I'll need to
tread carefully. The trip here took me a ways from the City and the ride wasn't cheap. I'll have
to make it worth my while.

Traymen didn't leave me empty-handed, he sent me with a crude map he made of the house. It
was clearly from memory, and with Traymen's age I doubt it's accurate. Only one way to find out.
