Two Days Prior.
Koh watched in amusement as the gathered nobles succumbed to the...
additives. Supposedly, this particular drug was derived form a species of vine from the jungles of Yoreiq. The effects of this unique plant, so says one Oleander Fell, is to cause intense hallucinations and a sense of dread that leaves one in a state of hysteria. Koh observed that Oleander was not lying, as they stumbled throughout the dining hall. Some, scratching at the locked doors, others cowering underneath the long table.
Having enough of this, Koh cleared his throat and spoke. "Attention! Attention all! Please lay thine eyes upon me!" All at once, everything stopped. Thirty one eyes instantly snapped to attention. For a brief moment, all was silent. Koh wondered what they all saw him as?

"You lot are to find this... clown. And bring it to me. Dead or Alive, I don't care. Though should you bring it to me alive, expect a bonus." Leaning over the table she rested her chin on both hands. "The address is to a small house near by. This is a simple job, half of you could do this but I want to send a message."
The woman once again reclined into her chair, her face once more took on a neutral expression as she closed her eyes. "Any questions?"
