In recent weeks the Ministry of the Steady Hand seem to have been recruiting heavily. Inquires seem to imply this is in order to meet the challenges presented to Rastaban by changed circumstances. Those interested in aiding the city are asked to present themselves at the townhouse of Nonnus Ingerinus.

Pericles Kommodore - Joe

Renée Teiwaz - Chaos

James - Dan

Iseneth - Geraint

The party turn up at the townhouse which seems to be bustling with activity and are swiftly hustled in to talk to a rather busy looking Nonnus. Here the party are asked to do two things. The first is to investigate what happened to a survey team sent into the imperial district who have not returned at the appointed time and the secondly to retrieve s a casket from a vault in the imperial district where it was no longer secure and return with it. The party are also given ponchos which they are assured will mostly keep of the light drizzle if they head in at the correct time.

After waiting for a slightly less rainy period the party head in following the expected trail of the survey team. After fighting of an attack by some cultists they come across a much more organised group attempting to break into what looks like a large metal coffin.
