I apologize to have kept you waiting. A man silently steps up to a table and sits down opposite of the party. He is dressed in a green traveling cloak, its hood along with the shadows it casts covers most of his face. The rest of what he is wearing, mostly dark greens and blues, were once of fine make. The kind of traveling clothes you would expect a noble to wear. They are now worn from heavy use, however. You assume he is an older human, his gray beard can be seen protruding from under the shadows of his hood.
I see the barman has collected the group I asked for. he says looking at each of you in turn, then laughs. Yes, certain higher powers do have a sense of humor..but you will do...yes... you will do. he says thoughtfully.
I would like you to deliver a package for me to Marais d'Tarascon on the island of Sojourn. At the bakery there is a friend of mine, Louise d'Cann, who runs it. I would like you to give it to her. The contents of the package are neither dangerous or valuable, I assure you. If they were I would not hire complete strangers to deliver it. The journey should not take more then a day or two to get there.
I hired adventurers since the swamps around there have a lot of nasty creatures in them, and I want it delivered safely. I'm willing to offer you 50 gold each in advance and, oh say 180 gold each when you return. Does that sound fair? I also will supply provisions for the journey, a boat as well as maps and directions.
Oh and by the way, I know I need not request it, but don't open the package, I do not want it being tapered it. he says smiling. I will know if you open it and delivered it assure you, and will of course take this as a gesture that you don't want to be paid. The boat will need to be returned as well.
I hope this is satisfactory...Any questions? he says looking at each of you in turn.

The gold he is offering seems very good, almost too good for the kind of mission he is proposing.

You can tell by his body language that the "mysterious man" seems to be not telling all there is to this story. He is very good at hiding this however.
