Wandering around the Main Hall one afternoon, you chanced to pick up a copy of the Eamon Times. Disgusted with going on adventures spontaneously, without any choice at all, you turned to the "Adventurers Wanted" section. Scanning through the ads, you came upon this one:
"Archaelogist needs brave person to retrieve artifacts from the famous Eamon Sphinx. Will pay handsomely, plus other benefits. Contact Turlin Nicklstern."
Intrigued, you found Turlin, an elderly scientist specialing in ancient history. He explained to you the nature of the quest. The Eamon Sphinx, it seems, had been created by a wizard in ancient times. He made it for a museum of all the strange and rare beasts of the time. This wizard was defeated by a stronger, evil wizard who had died a few hundred years before. Rumors claim that an acolyte remains. The major obstacle, however, is the variety of strange and magical monsters that abound. The most valuable artifact is the necklace that is rumored to be worn by the sphinx himself. It is of pure mithril. Many have tried this task, but none have returned with anything of value. Many have not returned at all.
After telling him you were willing, he wished you luck and told you where the sphinx was. He also mentioned that there was only one known exit, although more were suspected.
