A Letter of Introduction
Greetings Adventurer,
Allow me to be the first to welcome you to Victory's Gold
Adventurers Guild, led by the renowned Captain Jeremy Rand of the Swordfish
Islands. You've impressed the hell out of our local recruiter, and their tales
of your recent exploits made you sound like just the sort of [treasure loving
dare-devil] we've been looking for. I cannot wait to finally meet you in
person!
You can catch a ride to Swordfish Bay from your local port
on any of our merchant ships each new, full and quarter moon (or every seven
days). Our ships are easily identified by their red sails, emblazoned with a
black swordfish. Passage and access to our fleet will be granted by simply
showing this letter to the man-at-arms.
Your recruiter should have gone over most of the finer
points of our establishment with you already but please be certain to bring your own lodgings. Victory's Gold
owns the entirety of the Swordfish Islands, and no permanent structures are
permitted without the express consent of Captain Rand himself once an
individual has advanced sufficiently in our ranks. Food and water are abundant
on the islands, but due to their tropical nature rain is frequent, and a dry
place to stow your gear costs a premium if you do not provide it for yourself.
In addition to this letter you should have received a small,
wrapped package containing the following:
- One map of The Swordfish Islands
- One map of Swordfish Bay
- Two tokens to The Virgin Berth - Each token is good for a meal, whisky and a screw of your choice
- One token good for a barrel of Captain Jeremy Rand's Tropical Lager
- One copy of "Zilbee's Guide to the Swordfish Islands"
- One ancient Elven chime
Victory's Gold
Standard Benefit's Package
- A onetime signing bonus of 150 gold pieces
- 15 gold pieces per week (coin or credit at The Virgin Berth)
- One barrel of Captain Jeremy Rand's Tropical Lager each week (barrel or token)
- Exclusive access to Victory's Gold sages, healers, alchemists and other specialists
- In the unfortunate event of death, should sufficient bodily material remain, the Guild will return it to the port of call of your choice, cover up to 100 gold pieces in funerary expenditures, and make a onetime payment of 150 gold pieces to a friend or family member of your designation
Victory's Gold
Requirements
- You must relinquish 30% of any treasure found in The Swordfish Islands (gold, gems or magic) to the Guild

See You Soon,
-Zilbee
