Quests
To gain information on the whereabouts of Professor Cobblestop the party will need to speak to Hurzica however his whereabouts are impossible to track even for the best information brokers in Lindum. The party will meet Codah who will be cold at first and against letting the party meet Hurzica. Until they are attacked by the Professor's clockwork zombies. Codah will frustratedly talk about how more and more of the Professor's experiments were making their way onto the streets of Old Lindum and attacking people. She will make an offer to the party.“Someone is buying up all the gunpowder in the city and the price is skyrocketing, there's a small warehouse in the docks that is storing a shipment for tonight before it’s moved to a more secure location, if you can steal the 20 barrels and bring them to the Suds i’ll see what I can do about meeting Hurzica. No promises though, he’s a secretive man”.
If the party is successful Hurzica will meet them at The Suds, while he won’t give the location right the way, he is willing to make a deal.
“When I let that freak into my streets he said he’d keep his experiments to himself and would stay out of my way, he paid a handsome fee so who was I to say no. However we’ve had too many run-ins with his creations. That cult he belongs to, are always bringing captured individuals down into these streets and The Silk Legion are starting to pay notice. If you feel crazy enough to go into his lab and deal with him you’d be doing me a favor. However the information of his whereabouts doesn’t come for free. There's a rival gang who have been bringing Silil into my city and stunting my trade. They are called The Jackwares Jaw, and they are based in Vimot. Bring me their leader Mem Barkusks head and I will pay you 1000g and give you the location of the lab."
