Word is out on the streets of Cothon the harbor-town: Telman of Tsipa has finally formalized his charter with the Soufets of Cothon-Gadeed, and the Hunt for the Denyan Akho will surely be underway within the next few weeks.
Two galleys lie in the slipways of the Kantor Kabljauhof taking in supplies and being fitted with catapult and ballistae with the intent to seek the sea-going beast that does great injury to the trading interests of both the Ten Cities League and the foreign Hanse of the Kantor; hence the charter of the Soufets, and the bounty offered by the Kantor ... Adventurers who join the effort will surely be well-rewarded!
Placards are carried to every tavern in Cothon, major and minor alike, their contents read aloud, and then the placards themselves nailed up for others to peruse their contents and judge for themselves whether the bounty is worth the risk of an akho's steely embrace:
If ye seek the prestige and wealth of adventure then seek ye Captain Telman of Tsipa! The brave and strong are invited to the hunt of a lifetime. We shall set forth from Cothon as hunter-seekers under charter of the Soufets, and strike to the hunting grounds of the Denyen Akho that has been terrorizing and looting trade ships. Not the least of which was the Peregrine Kyni, one of the treasure-galleys of the League of Ten Cities said to be carrying a vast fortune worth more than 20,000 gold! The wealth of which will all be ours to retain upon the beasts death as per the hunter-seeker charter! Not to mention the boon its death would have upon Cothon-Gadeed, and the fame therein.
Adventurers of experience can either receive a signing bonus for the expedition or be allowed first pick of any strange or unique items that are found, in addition to a negotiable share of the treasure. Inquire with Captain Telman at the docks.
The Hunter-Seeker Charter of Telman of Tsipa is a call for a kind of unique adventure outside the "usual" limits of the Tel al Safina and its surroundings. An adventure into the wider world, a scenario promising great potential profit--and fame! I would like to have up to six players join the Hunt--message me or comment if you are interested--and be aware! there is potentially a "premium" for those who sign first/earlier.
Once a "crew" has been established, and a proper departure-time set, the hunter-seeker galleys will depart from the harbor of Cothon no later than 9 January (our time), and return "all tides well" within two weeks of that date.
