Bounties & Contracts

[Black Wyvern Company]

A large, wooden board festooned with various parchments advertises Company-sanctioned job opportunities for mercenaries. Although the Company officially denies to also broker illegal contracts under the table to less scrupulous blades-for-hire, rumours persist.

CONFIDENTIAL
Contract for Military Support

The Kingdom of Cadomyr is mustering its forces to launch an offensive against Pirate King Henry under the guise of a military exercise, and enlisted the Black Wyvern Company to bolster its ranks.
All Company members willing to join the battle against the pirates are to report at Cadomyr's training hall on the 17th Tanos 77 ((24. October 2025 09:00 pm)).
Make sure to arrive equipped and ready for heavy fighting. Participants may expect a generous reward.

COMPLETED

The pirates of "King" Henry suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Cadomyr, its allies, and the hired Company mercenaries. With the pirates routed and their leader in chains, this contract has been completed successfully.

Participants: Malchus, Lahadrion, Orakh, Soren, Lins

Hushed words go around about a hefty bounty having been put on a certain orc's head, and curious bounty hunters and would-be assassins who mingle with Illarion's shadier circles may have the following bounty letter slipped into their hand. The lack of any seals or signatures leaves no doubt that this hit isn't sanctioned by official authorities, but the promised reward is accordingly large.

WANTED DEAD
Greum


Description: Male orc. Big, ugly, smelly, and green.

Wanted for the murder of Guildmaster Bernie Bottoms of the Chamber of Commerce, who, by Cherga's grace, returned to the world of the living and put out a bounty on his murderer's head.
Greum is affiliated with the orcish Bloodbane clan and suspected to be hiding in Galmair. Heavily armoured and armed with a warhammer. A coward who is quick to run when confronted.

Warning: Greum is a citizen of Galmair and attacking him will be considered a crime by its authorities.
Hunters are advised to strike when no witnesses are around or to conceal their identity through disguise and transformation potions.

Deliver Greum's head to Bernie Bottoms to claim his bounty.

REWARD: 100 GOLD COINS

[Black Wyvern Company]

Two new contracts are pinned to the board by the Company's captain, though there's also talk of a secret, third contract being circulated among more seasoned and less scrupulous mercenaries.

Rat Catchers Wanted!

The towns' wells have a rat infestation problem. The vermin breeds fast in the dank cisterns, contaminates the water with its filth, and damages crops and food stocks.
To cull their numbers, the Company sanctioned the killing of a thousand rats and offers a bounty of 1.5 silver for each rat caught. Deliver rat meat to Captain Malchus as proof of your work to claim your reward.
A low-risk contract especially suitable for rookie mercenaries. Once completed, the most diligent rat catcher will be rewarded with a bonus.

Rats caught: 352 / 1000

Shevelle: 235
Orakh: 57

Hunters Wanted!

Our friends at the Chamber of Commerce are looking to stock up on assorted fresh meats. Company members are encouraged to set out into the wilds and prove their skill as hunters.
Meat of the following animals is desired at the following prices. Grilled and smoked meat will be accepted as well, though at the same rate as raw meat. Once completed, the most diligent hunter shall be recognised with a bonus.
A contract suitable for both beginners and seasoned hunters.

Chicken (50 copper): 509 / 1000
Pork (50 copper): 449 / 1000
Lamb (1 silver): 263 / 1000
Rabbit (2 silver): 1000 / 1000
Deer (2.5 silver): 1088 / 1000
Fox (3 silver): 559 / 1000
Wolf (3.5 silver): 746 / 1000
Bear (4 silver): 237 / 1000
Raptor (4.5 silver): 318 / 1000

Contributors:
Malchus: 51 gold, 51 silver, 50 copper
Shevelle: 43 gold, 7 silver, 50 copper
Lahadrion: 23 gold, 63 silver, 50 copper
Lins: 4 silver, 50 copper
Orakh: 3 gold, 97 silver, 50 copper

There's talk among the sellswords of a contract not openly published; a contract for adventurers who may seek a more thrilling challenge. Digging deeper into the matter may reveal that the talk is about hunting dragons — sacred creatures to Brágon's followers. Though not illegal, hunting dragons is nevertheless a questionable act in their eyes.

Dragon Slayers Wanted!

A client of exceptional taste and means desires a large shipment of dragon meat. One thousand haunches of this delicacy are to be procured and will be rewarded with 10 silver coins apiece. Once completed, the greatest dragon slayer will be recognised with a bonus.
Note: Though dragon hunting isn't illegal, Brágon-worshippers in high places may take exception to dealing in their body parts, so don't go on about bragging too loudly about your brave dragon hunting exploits. The shrewd hunter is a silent one.
Beware! Dragons are extremely dangerous and best fought with a group. This contract is recommended for experienced mercenaries only.
Update: Due to high demand and the great risk that dragon hunting entails, the bounty for dragon meat has been doubled from 5 silver to 10 silver apiece.

Procured dragon meat: 18 / 1000

Escort Wanted!

Galmair's medico, Amelia Rotholz, plans a hike through Illarion's woods to collect herbs and mushrooms for her potions. She is looking for a mercenary to escort her through the wilds and keep her safe from local wildlife and stray undead. She estimates the trip to take between one and two dwarven hours, and promises her bodyguard a reward of 5 gold coins and some of her home-made meals as provisions.
A low-risk contract suitable for both rookies and experienced mercenaries. Interested mercenaries are to contact Amelia Rotholz for further details.
