Get the Midnight Crate Under the Pier

Read Aloud

The slate roofs shine black with salt and old rain. Below, the harbor road is quiet, but every loose tile carries like a drum. Ahead, a hidden hatch waits under a torn awning, and someone inside is still awake.

The Scene

NEUTRALescort and contactBase DC 13

Stakes If the party stalls, the watch locks down the roof route and the crate is trapped in open sight.

20 to 30 minutes

NPC Goal

Keep the crate moving without getting blamed when the watch asks questions.

Leverage

The crate is valuable, but the real pressure is time. The watch changes at midnight, and the wrong voice on the roofs brings trouble fast.

Player Approaches
  • Mention the crate's seal and who sent it.
  • Offer coin for the latch key.
  • Promise to keep the hatch secret from the watch.
  • Use the name of the seller below the pier.
NPC Gambits
  • Calm lie
  • Hard bargain
  • Show the crate seal
  • Ask for the quickest route
  • Call out a shared enemy
  • Trade a small favor
NPC Reactions
  • A quick nod and a hand on the latch.
  • A tired warning to keep voices down.
  • A demand to know who is paying if the watch comes back.
