Payment for the Quieting Case

The TAP office insisted the case was discreet and low-risk: a single agent to investigate a reported "unnatural calm" in the Greenmere reservoir and to confirm the presence of an entity. The job paid modestly up front and left a small bundle of recompense behind. You were given standard consumables and a couple of gemstones suitable for quick sale, plus official TAP paperwork that eases dealings with lower-rank functionaries. The vial of reservoir sediment and the voucher are the trace items tied to the case. The sediment might be worth a copper to an apothecary or useful to a ritualist researching the strange, soporific aura you encountered at the water's edge.
