The Fate of Professor Hilbert

Archaeological Expedition Seeks Crew

Alderdeen Morning Times, Mar 15, 3019

Professor J.M. Hilbert, of the University of Otaboa School of Archaeology, seeks assistance for an expedition to the Barheim Frontier. The University has received rumors of a vast buried city, reportedly discovered by miners who are participating in the ongoing gold-rush. The university urgently wishes to excavate it before it is looted by uncultured swine locals. 

Positions Sought:

• Auramancers to investigate the city's enchantments, which are said to be remarkable, and to defuse any traps that may be present.

• Mechanics for such forms of transportation as may be required, for excavation equipment, and for understanding the ruined machines of the ancient city, which are rumored to be as impressive as its enchantments and intermingled with them.

• A skilled Navigator to find the best route to Barheim for the expedition and its supplies, given the budget.

• Fighters for protection on the dangerous road to Barheim, and from local threats near the excavation.

Prior archaeological experience not required, but preferred.
