Contract Summary
Harbor Factor seeks capable hunters. Orc Eye of Gruumsh has turned Hill into a danger zone. Eliminate the threat Reward promised: A sworn favor from Harbor Factor and their allies, to be called in once without question.
Target Monster
Name: Orc Eye of Gruumsh
Type: Humanoid
CR: 2

An orc priest of Gruumsh with one eye ritualistically gouged out. It wears dark robes or armor decorated with the symbol of Gruumsh and carries a spear or mace; war paint covers its skin.
Mission Frame
Employer: Harbor Factor
Objective: Eliminate the threat
Secondary Pressure: Time matters. The danger around Hill will worsen if the party delays.
Escalation: A frightened authority figure is close to ordering fire, poison, collapse, or indiscriminate slaughter.
Hook and Signs
Hook: A tax collector vanished on a clear route through Hill. The chest was found unopened, but the guards were not.
Signs of the monster:
- Insects refuse to cross a perfect circle on the ground, even when carrion lies within it.
- Broken ammunition lies nearby, but each piece has been deliberately smeared or arranged after the fight.
- Compasses, simple charms, or direction tricks fail or spin near the suspected lair.
Twist: The obvious monster is real, but something worse is feeding on the chaos it creates.
Rewards
Primary Reward: A sworn favor from Harbor Factor and their allies, to be called in once without question.
Secondary Reward: Relic reward: Mercy Vow Knot
Mercy Vow Knot
Form: cord knot
A red-white knot tied in the old style of sworn rescues and impossible returns.
Minor Effect: Once per long rest, the bearer can reduce the severity of one hunt complication by creating a moment of trust, mercy, or brave restraint.
Reward Item Preview
