Raven Guard members have first priority in signups

Iowa Smith, Gauntlet Runner Legend and Proprietor of No Questions Asked in the Gauntlet Sprawl has recently been felled while out on a shopping venture in The Fair of Wonder. While looking for a rare mount, a sudden and unexpected bit of chaos saw the otherwise master adventurer fall to the jaws of an escaped Young Black Dragon named Mavrothrax, Spawn of Byrme.

Though since the incident there has been little talk of both the dragon and the chaotic events surrounding the whole affair. Making pursuing anything related to it extremely difficult for reasons no one seems to understand. The merchant Baio of Baio’s Bazaar of the Bizarre within the district in question having equally disappeared in the whole affair.

With all leads gone cold a clue finally emerges. One of the sending stones pair Iowa had has received a message. A merchant on the outskirts of the last run has come into its possession.

Iowa is sending the raven guard for the following:

1. Gain as much information about the transaction of the items. Who sold them? When?
2. Retrieve the sending stone (and any other possessions of Iowa's the merchant may have come across.)
