A Historical Undertaking

I entered a house in Thornhill belonging to the Regal Society for the Preservation of Imberthale’s History and Relics, also simply known as the Preservation Society, and was greeted by the Curator. He made me an offer of work, but asked that I sign their contract first.

It seems a bit odd they’d ask me to sign papers before telling more about what I’m agreeing to, but as long as the pay is worth it…

I should find a desk to sign the contract within the society’s house to learn more.

I signed the Preservation Society's contract - I see no harm in it - and should return with the papers to the Curator in order to learn about the job.

The Curator of the Preservation Society wants to access special tombs within Thornhill’s catacombs in order to retrieve relics stored within them, but the Caretaker who holds the keys opposes him.

The Curator’s tasked me to enter the crypt of a Samuel Thorne, the founder of Thornhill according to legends, to recover his cape. Yet in order to do so, I must first acquire a key to access the crypt.

While the Caretaker is disinclined to help, the Curator suggested I seek a copy from Thornhill’s locksmith, who resides in Broken Cliff north of the city’s marketplace.

While the locksmith remains distracted, I should search through his drawers for the key I need.

Equipped with the right key, it should be no challenge to retrieve this Thorne's cape from Thornhill's catacombs.

I've made my way to the crypts and opened the way. Nothing stands in between me and the relic!

And there it is - Thorne's Cape! I should return the relic to the Preservation Society's Curator and collect my reward. But did I hear bones rattling down the hallway behind me...?

It's not really plundering, it's more like protecting the relics.
