Karananak lopes languidly along with the others, still reading the papers slowly even in the changing light conditions. The wilden takes a seat toward the back of the little meeting room, so he can see all the others and the door to the cell. Eve has landed on her druid's arm again with all the corners and narrow halls. "No dis ear bein a fine place tuh be askin oar askins, witoat awl dem dare oda stories bein talled at once den."

As with most of our mines, most of our labor force comes from the local orc tribes. They know the area best, are hard workers. In exchange they benefit greatly from the trade opportunities provided by House Tharashk.
Everything seemed to be in order until a month ago. Our miners started disappearing. We hired mercenaries to provide security, but we couldn't preotect them every hour of the day. Some disappeared in the mines, some on the way and even a few in their own homes. The orcs are superstitious, and are starting to get weary of the disappearances, there is even some talk that this is a bad omen of danger brought upon them by the mine's opening.
If this wasn't bad enough, Rhogar's chief engineer became one of the missing. Workers can be replaced, but Kharrath's disappearance is an immediate threat to the project.
So we need a team to locate and rescue our chief engineer and the miners. That's where you've come in. Kharrath is your primary objective, but saving the orcs will help allay their fears and maintain our working relationship. As representatives of House Tharashk, you will be expected to do your part to support our good name with the tribe. They've naturally become distrustful of so many mercenaries, so you may be our last shot with them.

The retainer suggestion is just an idea on how to get us our 1/5th lvl cash to gear up before the adventure. Feel free to shoot it down with gusto as Karananak was, for all his wisdom, not graced with any sort of social tact.
Karananak's wishlist is on his wiki sheet, but the only parcel he has left to receive is his cash (lvl 5 being 1,000g) or 1,200g with his 1/5th lvl cash.

"Ah, protecting helpless civilian miners from an unknown threat. A fine use for my talents if there ever was one!," Crush answers in pleased tones, his eyes flashing briefly from blue to white. Clearly the warforged has little experience with orcs. "You say you've lost an engineer though? Do you have a description or portrait of this Kharrath to assist in our investigations?"
"And, as for the matter of payment... I don't require much in the way of coin for sustenance. My blade and axe have certainly seen better days though," Crush says, indicating his war-battered armaments sheathed at his side.

"I'll take your share of the gold then my good man..er...what model are you?" Riaan jokes.
"The good tree-thing is right, we should have some guarantee of payment, maybe some deposit note from House Kundarak holding our payment in escrow?" Riaan adds, then considers their mission.
