It’s a quiet, mid-September afternoon and you, Garrett, Master of thieves, find yourself slowly remembering the adventures of the past in front of the fireplace.
In your hand is a goblet of a fabulous wine taken from Lord Bafford’s cellar.
In the midst of this restful interlude, you hear a whistle from the window followed by a thud...... an arrow is quivering in the frame with a message attached.
“We know about your recent success at Bafford’s manor. We have captured your friend Basso to hold for ransom.
To free him, you must steal for us an artifact of an ancient and unknown nature.
This precious thing is owned by a powerful Lord, who lives alone in a little fortress situated in a distant land named Italy.
From the Map at the end of the text you will see what our problem is.
The artifact’s name is “the Dragon’s Claw”, the exact location in Italy is the mountain of “the Horns of Canzo”, and the Lord mentioned is named Lord Kanfass.
We are giving you 2 months to complete this mission. Remember that the fate of your good friend, Basso is in our hands.
The sooner you bring us the Claw, the better it will be for Basso.

Signed: the Brotherhood of Fire.

It’s a long time to wait to pay back the Brotherhood of Fire but you don’t want to go into their nest without the artifact, so you begin the journey to Italy.
Then, after two weeks of difficult travel, you finally arrive and start planning the job.
Canzo is a little village down on the lower part of the mountain with the curious name “Horns”.
After a good night's sleep at “the Wild Boar” you look around you and see a strange thing! The people here seem to be more like you than those in your homeland.
You then start to follow the main path to the nearest point beside the Horns... they are two particularly enormous rocks on the top edge of the mountain, which resemble a pair of animal horns.
You, as always, check the map and see that the route shown will lead you to an infamous Inn, where you can find some information about Lord Kanfass.
In the process, you can also find a way to fill up your, by now empty, pockets.
