Tonight I'm breaking into the mansion of one Lord Rowlett.
His is an old family, and one that has seen better days. They were once wealthy silk merchants (and slave traders, according to some). But their rivals accused them of piracy and sorcery, and the family wound up losing much of their prestige and wealth.
Old roots run deep, however. Lord Rowlett has recently come into possession of a solid-gold, jewel-encrusted crown. The rumors are that it is an inheritance from some southern branch of the family. Like all trinkets from noble families, it goes by a pretentious name - "The Crown of Penitence".
All I care is that it's old, and covered in jewels, and worth a rather large sum of money.
An informant of mine was able to find a disgruntled former servant of Rowlett. The man was only too happy to offer up a rough map and some information about the place, including a description of an old cellar that leads to a series of underground tunnels...
That's going to be my way in.
