The Courier's Shadowed Satchel

The shadow hounds tore through the courier's outer escort, but the Obsidian Tribunal runner was clearly prepared for pursuit. When the satchel is opened, the party finds a mix of practical survival gear, concealment magic, and illicit transit credentials meant to get a dangerous message through the gate before dawn. The valuables are intact, but the papers suggest the courier was carrying more than a simple dispatch, likely a full network of names, routes, and bribes tied to the gatehouse operation.
