Nighttime Disturbances (Closed)

"For weeks now traders and shopkeepers living within the Trades Ward have complained to the Watch of nighttime disturbances. Such complaints have ranged from late night strollers feeling as if they were being followed, to the echoing clatter of metal rapping against stone, to long gashes appearing overnight along wooden doors and windowsills. Most are concentrated around the streets bordering the City of the Dead and, unbeknownst to most of the ward's residents, have underlined a spate of recent murders as well. A score of mutilated corpses, all recognized (sometimes barely) as former beggars, have been found by the Watch strewn across the back alleys and dead end streets of the Trades Ward, with a new one appearing almost like clockwork on the morning of every 2nd or 3rd day after the last one. For now the murders have been kept tightly under wraps, and normally the City Watch would not be expected to dedicate much of its resources to such a problem.

However, within the last few days a son to one of the noble families in the North Ward, the Hothemers, has gone missing. The man was known to leave the family estate late at night, and near to the time of his disappearance was spotted by a member of the Watch entering the City of the Dead. This was the last anyone has reported of seeing him. Now under pressure from a furious Malas Hothemer and worried about the former murders coming to light, the Watch has quietly sought to recruit a party of adventurers to enter the City of the Dead at night and investigate anything unusual. The Hothemers have similarly put up a bounty through the Watch for the safe return of their own."

Hey y'all! I'll probably be making a social thread soonish, but for now I'm taking Wren's advice and offering an adventure thread for anyone interested! No special requirements or anything past your character's interest, and it would probably be best to have about 3-4 characters for this one.
