I have received a request to retrieve an artifact from a ruin not far from the Academy. Normally, we are not in the habit of taking private requests, especially not find-and-retrieve missions. However, this request was passed on to me, and I feel that it would benefit both the Academy and the person who requested our help.I would like this mission kept discrete, because I do not want anyone to think that our Academy has lowered its standards. We're not mercenaries, after all!"Goludov reached for a sheaf of papers on his desk, and removes a map. "This is the location of the ruin. It is to the Northwest of the Academy. From the looks of it, it isn't very large, so I expect that it should be relatively simple to locate the artifact. There will undoubtedly be hostile beings within the ruins, so I suggest that you ready yourselves for combat.The artifact itself is a jade statue."Leaving the map on the desk before the group, Goludov clasps his hands in front of him. "I have issued another note of credit for each of you. 500 gold pieces each to outfit yourselves. This credit is only available for this week, for you to use to buy supplies. It will not be usable after you leave, nor can it be cashed out.I expect that you are all tired, so I do not expect you to leave until the beginning of next week. Of course, if you'd rather leave earlier, that is fine with me."</blockquote>
