Contract Summary

Target Monster
Name: Autumn Eladrin
Type: Fey
CR: 10
Legendary: No
An autumn eladrin is a fey elf whose magic and appearance embody the mellow richness of fall, often marked by warm colors, graceful poise, and a soothing but uncanny presence. Beneath that calm beauty lies formidable Feywild power, sharp judgment, and the ability to sway emotion as deftly as a blade.
Mission Frame
Employer: Smuggler Contact
Objective: See the client through alive
Secondary Pressure: Time matters. The danger around Extraplanar will worsen if the party delays.
Escalation: A key witness will die, flee, or lose their nerve if not protected soon.
Hook and Signs
Hook: A map recovered from a dead traveler shows every route through Extraplanar, except one location where the ink has been violently scraped away.
Signs of the monster:
- Ropes, nets, or leather bindings were cut in a single clean stroke instead of torn apart.
- Local offerings disappear only after dark, and the ground nearby shows a regular path rather than random scavenging.
- Boundary stones, trail markers, or shrine posts have been moved overnight to redirect travelers where the threat wants them.
Twist: The death of Autumn Eladrin will break a seal, vow, or ward that was keeping another disaster contained.
Rewards
Primary Reward: 430 gp, plus a bonus for zero losses.
Secondary Reward: Relic reward: Ink of the Hushed Map
Ink of the Hushed Map
Form: ink vial
A dark ink that pools into routes, marks, and secret boundaries when left undisturbed.
Minor Effect: Once per long rest, the bearer can sketch a quick map of a place they have just crossed with unusual accuracy, including one hidden turn, seam, or branch they nearly missed.
