Briefing

This is the first mission of my campaign 'Artefacts of the dead' there will be up to four more to follow.

"As my ugly, unwashed (well that's actually me) landlord continued to hassle me for 'rent' [no this isn't another 'get the rent money' missions!!!!!] I began to think I might be forced to leave. However, I overheard him complaining about the son of a Lord Bafford, whose cousin I have had involvement with before. The son apparently stayed in the hotel for some 'peace and quiet' he left early to avoid rent and the room was found thrashed with feces spread on the bed and walls. I interrupted the landlord who was talking to himself and offered to take care of the Lord's son. For a fair price. He agreed, and my rent will be permanently free.
I did some research on the lord's son, he never spoke of his name to avoid detection. He was secretly an alcoholic and had plenty of his father's guards fired by accusing them of owning the drink that was found.
However, I found out that the Lord living beside them had come across a map to a great treasure, however the map started in an unknown city. One of this ''Lord Hammerarse'' (who is a former knight) guards had possession of a map to the city, starting in a secret tunnel in the manor. They agreed to set out on an expedition to find this treasure. BUT the lord was called to important business that could earn him a fortune (this was of course a set-up). He wouldn't carry such a valuable item with him. He would leave it in his well guarded manor.
He gave the key to the gate between his manor and the little Bafford 'manor' to Lord Bafford. I know one of his servants who have gotten the key for me.
The rest is simple. I must break into the Bafford manor, get the key, go to the Hammerarse manor and obtain the two maps. Killing the lord's son may not be important anymore!
Once I have the maps and something for myself, I must find this secret tunnel and leave."
