"Great!" The man seems happy to have posibly found the resources he needed. "My name is Jasper Sirocco. My family have been trading with many marked House in the last generation and we got quite a small fortune. I got an heritage last year and I have decided to spend a good part of the gold I had to buy a new estate. The estate was really cheap. Rumors wanted it to be haunted. It's been a year I am there and I didn't saw any ghost or zombie or any kind of manifestation that could let me presume those rumors were true.
Last month, I decided to build a small cottage in the forest on my estate. I love hunting! Being able to sleep near my hunting ground and wake up early for the hunt is one of the few pleasure I have. We found the perfect place. I hired some worker to build the cottage. They start to dig for the foundation when they found something odd. Digging a bit farther allowed us to conclude it was a door, buried in the ground.
But here comes my problems. First, we found no way to open that door. Second, we found some scripture on the door in a language that even a local scholar couldn't read. Last, my workers are scared by that discovery. They think this is some kind of tomb and that would be the source of the haunting. I haven't seen a single undead in a year and I've been hunting more than once in that forest, I even spent a few nights.
So here what I want. I need someone to translate the scripture, and if possible, open that door and take a look inside that place, make sure the things is clear and then we can start again the construction of my cottage. That's why I need an erudite and a few swords. How does it sounds to you."
