A note next to an empty bottle on the floor.

To privateer forces Mangy group leader Nathaniel,

While we did not slay the aboleth strictly for your benefit, you are very welcome. I personally find it heartening to restore free will to the enslaved and repressed. I would recommend that you and your forces take this opportunity to choose a more honest profession, though likely you are weary of such statements and will snicker condescendingly at it.

As for your offer, we have discussed it at length and accepted it. While you are likely capable of locating us on your own, the delivery of the final artifact piece should be directed either to this plane or to Sigil, Outlands. I am sorry that I can't provide a more specific location.

A warning: While it is good that you are aware of the dangers housed inside of your facility, it should be noted that there are more than one aboleth active. Precautions against their remaining forces should be taken, as your facility is still at a key junction of ley lines. I recommend ceasing all piracy operations and refortifying the facility for the duration. Your personal experience with the Telepath Aboleth should serve you well in this endeavor.

Whether you desire it or not, you are now stationed on the frontlines in the battle for your Prime Material Subplane. I wish you luck.


With regards,

P.S. I am sorry about the loss of your desk.
