Recap:

The three Dwarves and token Human received word from a messenger that Gneon was looking to hire us for another job.  Being accustomed to this type of thing, we all agreed to meet at Gneon's estate on the outskirts of Grimhold.  Once there, he described that some of his contractors were being assaulted and having their livelihood's ruined.  He asked that we investigate the situation, capture the assailant, and return he/she/it to Gneon alive. 

He explained that it happened to three of his contractors over the last week and he expects the number to rise if we don't act.  The three victim's are a clock maker, a Tinker metallurgist, and a vintage clicker shop owner who has been alive since before the War of Technology.  All three are Gnomes.  We set out to interview each one and gather what info we could.  I believe we spoke to all but the vintage shop owner who was out to dinner when we went looking for him.  We discovered some mundane evidence of confrontation and concluded that the assailant was at least of human size and much heavier than his Gnomish victims.  Other than that, we didn't get too far into the investigation.  Some people around the area that we spoke to believe it could be the work of a villainous Cleric of Tommimao named Gnelletter, the very same that was driven out of Grimhold after a gun fight a while back with Grean law enforcement.

Of note, we were told by Gneon that we will be paid 70,000 GP for the job, but that the number goes down by 10K each day we take to solve the mystery until the cash runs out after a week.  We set out immediately after hearing this news which was around 2pm the day we were hired.  It's now about 6pm that day.  Day 1 doesn't end until 2pm the next afternoon.  Also, if we kill the guilty party, we only get half of what we earned to that point.   

Also of note, and that which may or may not have any bearing on this mission, there has been a recent spike in vampiric activity in Grimhold.  Apparently, ever since Vestillion took over the undead in the area, it appears intelligent undead have been summoned or had what some would say a "calling" to come to the area.  This is disturbing on many levels, especially considering the city's population has doubled in the last year or two.  Grinhold and the surrounding area is now populated with around 70,000 people from all over the world looking to get rich quick in this prosperous city.  It's the wild west out there.
