Magic Lost, Trouble Found

Job: Seeker, a finder of the lost and missing. Objects or people, same price.
Hazard pay: Negotiable.
Problem du Jour: One stolen amulet with one heck of a consequence.

I come from a family of pirates who make money with a ship and the business end of a cannon. I prefer to use business savvy and street smarts to stay employed and on the legal side of the law.

So when my friend is blackmailed into stealing a powerful amulet from Nigel the Necromancer, my sense of fair play kicks in, which is how I end up with the amulet he stole hanging around my neck like fancy pearls. An amulet of unimaginable power. An amulet that now won’t come off. And to make it even worse, the stone is enhancing my magical power to scary levels.

Now my name is at the top of the most-wanted list of both a goblin secret society and a mage military brotherhood. They want the amulet and the legendary soul-eating stone it’s connected to. I’d be happy to give it to them, but the price tag for removal is the soul of yours truly.
