This time I managed to get to Vesper and set up operations as planned there. My task had brought me here as well as the desire to train some more. A cave network was supposed to be close by, it had the strange name Covetous.

After going through the canals and looking at all the amazing architecture, I found myself almost leaving the city by the west and I heard some noises coming from a tavern just outside. It was indeed my target, the Swaggers Inn. I made myself up the stairs watching my every step. When I entered it became apparent this place had plenty of staff and was a great business, and surprisingly, I was most welcome.

Seemed my arrival was fortunate indeed, my two targets were there as well. I watched them carefully but not alarming anyone as I made some notes.

A man I had seen with Lady Jade earlier was sitting at the counter not far from me, he offered a drink as a welcome gift I suppose. He was rather busy with his love but he managed to get some conversation going my way as well. After a while I decided I would try to get a room in the inn, the man offered to pay for my two nights here. I asked his name and he introduced himself as Demos Tremere. I was curious as to why he was being so generous, I still ponder the reasons but gratefully accept for now.

After being settled I headed out for the dungeon and it was quite perilous, I was first met by pillars of flame shooting up from the holes in the ground. Surrounding them were feathers, mostly scorched by the flames I assume. Of course this meant there were some huge birds which I think were called harpies here.

Some of them were easily dealt with, but they had a mean pack instinct. Before the tunnel I was in, was finished, I had dealt with a few gazers as well, and some clever plants that tried to eat my new gloves. I had already contracted a tailor in the city who would help me repair any damages. I would return regularly to train while staying in Vesper. Watching my targets carefully..
