The Peering Eye

Introduction

In Vec Cove, even the quick witted can fall prey to the lauging intrigues of the harlequins dream.
And now the laughing voice echoes from the sewers beneath the town.

Mayor Hepburn Barra is at his wits end and is desperately seeking help from adventurers. The town guard of Vec Cove are under pressure, manpower is dangerously low due to losses to the pirates. Some have died in naval clashes and yet others have joined forces with them, in return for booty.

As if that weren't enough, a gang of thieves calling themselves 'The Scarred Shadows' have started to encroach upon the thieves guild's operations. The Rainbow Coalition, as the guild is known, have had little success as yet, in dealing with the elusive new arrivals.

The Mayor suspects that the trouble with the sewers is somehow connected.

Tercio Gypsum

Male Human (Vec) Fighter 1

Tercio is the unimaginative name that his parents gave to their 3rd born child.
Tercio grew up in Lakeport as a child of a family where it was all about strength: His father and his two elder brothers are active in the cult of Neart but his relative lack of strength meant that he had to adopt different tactics in responding to disagreements.
He soon took to following some of the swashbucklers and learned from them how to use speed instead of pure strength.
Of course, that didnt earn him much respect in the family business (which mostly involved being paid to look strong) and it was not long before he left Lakeport in search of adventure.
His first job in his new life took him from Lakeport to Redbrick bridge and back again - for which he was paid with the battered scimitar that he currently uses and brief instruction in how to use it.
For his next job he signed on as a caravan guard for a totally boring journey from Lakeport to the far side of the lake where he was kicked out for constantly complaining about lack of bandits "bad luck Gypsum" was how he was called byt the merchant.
Now, he is stranded a long way from home and fast running out of money.
He needs a job, any job....
