Some years ago, the mining town of Rodamill was devastated by an earthquake. Little is known about the event as the town has been cut off ever since - but it is believed the entire population perished, and that the wealthy estate of Greyfeather Hall lies buried with its Lord, the owner of the lucrative Greyfeather Mines.
His brother inherited the mines following this tragedy and has now sold them to the Mechanists, who plan to excavate the town, mines and estate and to claim any salvage they find there. But, the new Lord Greyfeather wishes some heirlooms to remain within the family, things too valuable and too sensitive to barter with the Mechanists over. Hence, he has hired Garrett to recover these items with as little commotion as possible.
In the first part of the series, Garrett hitched a ride with a Mechanist shipment to Rodamill. The shipment, along with its unexpected cargo, has now arrived at the ruined mining town. Now, Garrett must find the mines and a way into Greyfeather Hall beyond them.
Mr. Garrett,
It comes to my humble ears that you are a man who gets things done, and done with discretion. I hope this letter finds you in fine health and ample spare time, for I have much coin with which to buy it.
Permit me a certain amount of exposition, before I introduce my purpose. I am Lord Greyfeather II, a name of which no doubt you are familiar. One of my family's richest assets were the Greyfeather mines of Rodamill, which were buried in an earthquake some years back. The quake also buried our family manor: and with it, my brother and some of his most interesting and valuable collections.
The Order of the Gear are purchasing the deeds to the mines from me, and have already begun excavating the town of Rodamill. Their excavations will uncover many heirlooms which I would rather keep in the family, and which the Mechanists would be - shall we say - reluctant to part with. To disclose the existence of such artifacts
to them by way of asking for their return would raise eyebrows and uncomfortable questions.
Hence, my discretion in hiring you, Mr. Garrett. To come to the point: I would pay you well to follow the Mechanists to the excavation and retrieve my family's finest collection, the Greyfeather gems, from under their very noses. You would be welcome to anything else you find among my family's ample fortunes; along with whatever fee you deem suitable for your services.
...
The task I present to you should prove little trouble to a capable man. I am eagerly awaiting your reply, Mr. Garrett.
With Regard,
Jacob Greyfeather, Fifth Lord of Rodamill
