This contract shall be binding and in force until such time as it is either terminated by the employer, the deaths all members of THE PARTY, or the successful completion of all contracted quests.

THE PARTY indemnifies THE EMPLOYER from any claim of responsibility for death, injury, or loss of property during the period of this contract.

During the execution of this contract THE PARTY is free to keep any and all treasure discovered EXCEPT the items which are the object of each quest. THE EMPLOYER reserves first right of refusal on any magical artifacts of great power which THE PARTY obtains while on these quests and wishes to sell.

THE EMPLOYER will also pay a bonus of 1,000 gold pieces to each member of THE PARTY for the first successfully completed quest, 2,000 for the second, 3,000 for the third and so on to the 6th quest which results in a bonus of 6,000.

THE EMPLOYER will provide healing and training to THE PARTY without charge for the duration of this contract, unless THE PARTY undertakes any side adventure lasting longer than a ten-day, before completing all six quests, in which case this provision will be considered void. THE EMPLOYER will, however, provide such services at one half the going rate for such services for the duration of the contract, providing THE PARTY endeavor with due diligence to complete the contracted quests in a timely fashion.

THE PARTY will not hold THE EMPLOYER liable for any action committed by THE PARTY in the execution of this agreement.

THE EMPLOYER will provide THE PARTY LEADER with a STONE OF RECALL, which may be used to return the bearer and all who are physically touching the bearer instantly to this tower. THE EMPLOYER will return all members of THE PARTY to the exact point of the Stone's use after providing healing, trade, or advice as needed for a fee of 50 gold per trip, There will be a surcharge of 50 gold per trip attached per quest. Thus, rapid returns on the first quest will only cost 50 gold, but the same trip on the 6th quest will cost 300 gold per trip. The STONE OF RECALL is the property of THE EMPLOYER, and may not be sold or transferred to any other party. It must be surrendered upon termination of the contract. Loss or destruction of the STONE will result in a fine of 2,000 gold and or 2 years of imprisonment in THE EMPLOYER’s dungeon of THE LEADER.

For the duration of this contract THE EMPLOYER agrees to provide whatever healing is necessary, up to and including resurrection, free of charge, as per the terms listed above. THE EMPLOYER also agrees to provide, at 10% the market rate (as listed in the PH), such equipment and provisions as might reasonably be needed for the successful completion of the quests.

THE PARTY agrees, under pain of death, to keep secret for the duration of the contract all matters pertaining to this contract. Upon release from the terms of the contract with successful completion of the six quests, THE PARTY are released from the non-disclosure provisions of the contract.

The quested items include: A cursed sword, an enchanted mirror, a magical staff, a black triangular plate, a white triangular plate, and a crystal ball.

Each quested object is very specific and the exact object must be returned to the employer as soon as possible. Unfortunately, due to the secrecy of the mission, it is imperative that the objects not attract the attention of any outside party. Special lead cases will be provided for the concealment of the quested items on the return journeys. After placing the quest object in the special case, a magical seal must be applied to the case which will render it impervious to all magic. These seals and lead boxes will not allow the STONE OF RECALL to be used to return with the lead cases. The final leg of each quest must be completed without the aid of magical travel.

After the completion of the 6th quest, THE PARTY are released from all provisions of the contract, but may continue to consider the Tower of Shandar a friendly place to buy and sell items, seek healing magics, or sage advice.
