His task is to steal a chalice from the shop down the street. Only, when he does finally manage to loot the item, he realizes that he cannot give it to his blackmailer and he cannot stay in his city anymore.The chalice is a deitic artifact, a magical item created by the gods with certain intent. This one binds four people together for one year.Alpine meets Anladet, a half-elven baerd, Telbarisk, a grivven, and Raulin Kemor, a trirec in the weeks following. And while he's pleased to join the first two in company, Raulin is another matter. With no choice, they are forced to follow and aid Raulin as he fulfills his paid contracts to assassinate, spy, or steal from various members of the Gheny public.At first, this seems like a miserable situation for all involved. Alpine and Raulin can't stand one another and bicker constantly. Alpine can't let Raulin be about his profession and his choices.
