An adventure against the machinations of the dark god of madness Oloken'hai.

Summary:
  "   In the lands of Dolten, in the slums of Barghest, a gnome walked in talking to himself weirdly, down the Promenade street towards the Rotten Maw inn, where it was rumored that the secrets of the Taladoni can be found. He was followed by a towering green orc with a weird colored itch, that comes looking for a peculiar healer in Barghest, and the best place to look for information is at the Rotten Maw inn.

An elf that looks like a gambler walked to the slums, he received a contact from a particular individual that has the mark of a fence, who resides in the Rotten Maw inn, that is paying a hefty sum of money for a package to be delivered.

Lastly, a tall female Dragonborn wearing a chainmail and the symbol of the god Babylon, appears on the slums. In a recent vision, her deity informs her to visit the Rotten Maw inn, to follow a package of unknown import, but dark purpose. They all reached the Rotten Maw inn.

The gnome managed to unintentionally offend a ratfolk who are studying something arcane by calling him a "mouseman". He then stumble into a dashing man who he managed to have a small talk with. The towering green orc talked to the bartender about finding a healer for the itch he has, and the bartender offered some kind of solution that would delay the spread of the itch, but recommend the orc to go to Bleak for a more comprehensive healing.

The elf stumbles around to a storage in order to steal something, but got caught by the bartender, who recognizes his "type" and began talking in Thieves' Cant to him. The elf managed to deflect problem by asking if the bartender have a job for him, and the bartender pointed out that a man is waiting upstairs, and perhaps the elf is the one he's waiting for.

The elf then proceed to go upstairs, and entered a room. He was met with a very fancy looking nobleman, a sight that is rare to see in this town, who offered him a job to deliver a package to Bleak for 50 gold. He also caution the elf about the road he takes, for Dolten is a dangerous area and he should be careful. The elf managed to persuade the noble to give him an additional 200 gold, since it was a dangerous job and he might need to ask around for help in the travelling.

The elf asked what's in the package, but the noblemen answered that he came here with the assumption that the business will be done with discretion. He left understandingly, and went back downstairs. The female dragonborn notices the elf carrying a package, and approaches him, warning him that it is dangerous to carry a dangerous package alone, and offers help to guard the package for free.

They were interrupted by the old gnome, offering to show magic. He overheard what's being discussed, and the elf offered the gnome, but the gnome wants pay. The elf leaves to find other people, and found a big green orc on the bar.
