You agree to take part in the job that Jerikko asked of you. You walk in the front door and notice the tall, wooden ceiling held up by large, brown wooden beams. The walls are grey and bland and the large open area is filled with wooden crates that line the walls and are stacked to the ceiling. Several ladders and scaffolds are positioned through the room to move the crates around, while several workers are walking about the area carrying various objects.
As you walk into the room, three of the workers drop their crates and approach you. You’re trespassing in the warehouse and they’ve been instructed to deal with any and all intruders.
Commence Battle with Syndicate Watchman x 3
The three men fall to the ground with a loud thud, echoing through the entirety of the structure. From across the warehouse, three others hear the commotion and come running toward you.
Commence Battle with Syndicate Thug x 3
The screams and grunts of the thugs fill the warehouse and drown out the sounds of the workers. As those three thugs are dispatched, another four members of the Syndicate run toward you.
Commence Battle with Syndicate Thug x 2, Syndicate Watchman x 2.
You hear several loud explosions coming from near the pier, alerting you that the two brothers are raining carnage upon the Syndicate members outside. You turn your head to see a larger man run toward you with two more of the thugs.
Commence Battle with Syndicate Thug x 2 and Syndicate Foreman
You look out to see another door at the end of the room. A tall man wearing very nice clothing with two of the larger men walk toward you with pace. “So these are the vermin who’ve come into our warehouse?” asked the leader as he walks toward you. He looks around to see the number of bodies around. “Good help is too hard to fine.”
Commence Battle with Syndicate Foreman x 2 and Syndicate Leader
The Syndicate Leader drops to his knees as he grabs his chest. Blood is pouring from wounds on his face and torso as he looks up at you with a vengeful disdain. The brothers walk in slowly, looking on with an impressed gaze as they see the carnage you’ve caused. “Quite impressive,” announces Jerikko as he walks in front of the Syndicate Leader and holds out his hand. “Shall I put him out of his misery?” he asks while turning back to look at Merevo.
“What would be gained by killing him, brother?” questions Merevo.
Jerikko shrugs and ignites his hand, detonating a small orange ball in the face of the Syndicate Leader and blowing his head off. “A sense of accomplishment,” states Jerikko proudly as he looks down at the now headless Syndicate Leader. He glances down, finding two shards on the Syndicate Leader. He picks them both up and smiles. “One for each of us, brother.”
“No,” counters Merevo. “One for us, the other for the adventurers. They’ve earned a prize for this task.”
Jerikko stares at the two shards and sighs. “Fine,” he says reluctantly before tossing a shard to you.

“Stay around,” continues Jerikko. “We may have some business with you.”
