Good day and welcome, adventurers all.
In classical definition, to go Adventuring is to beat up monsters and take their stuff. For more accurate usage: "Oh, we totally Adventured that troll!" or, "Man, that dragon Adventured us..." Often, however, the definition is expanded to include beating up monsters in order to get *rewarded* with stuff.
I have a few items of interest in this regard. One is a magical mirror, which leads into a magical maze. The other item is a dagger which I have been very fond of, but found little use for of late. The dagger is of a crude black iron, honed to a razor sharp edge, magically sharpened. The hilt is inset with onyx and obsidian... It was found and recovered in a tomb of many dead, sealing two cursed books away. This is the *prize*.
The actual quest is the mirror - inside is a fell creature of dark power and dark temperment. I wish it dead, that I might use the mirror for my own purposes. I'm sending the adventurers in to rid me of the evil inside.

Updating: We didn't end up with enough players so the quest was postponed. I'll be running it December 16th.
