The cart needn't be big, can even be tiny, in fact, just so that two, or better four, people could fit in it, with ample room for bags and sacks, if possible. Could be old, long as it rides well and has new wheels, and strong axles, so actually probably nothing made longer than a year or two ago would do. Leave a message with Bohddie. |

Meaning: One for the rogues! The local thieves' guild has found that their missions in the area have ended... poorly. Their new recruits are raving about some kind of spirit, and the veterans insist that something just isn't right. |

The reward can be money or allowing the players to scavenge what they find inside the house.
