The Opening

“Izel the Glass-Gloved slides a velvet-lined case across the table and whispers that her other half has been stolen. She needs a crew to break into the indestructible Obsidian Spire before the moon reaches its zenith. If the Baron unites the pair, she claims the city will be turned into a silent monument of crystal.”

— Hook · Heist

Set the Scene

The party meets Izel in a rain-slicked alleyway behind the Grand Conservatory. She wears a single glove of translucent, shifting glass that hums with a low, nervous vibration.

Izel the Glass-Gloved

She is desperate and anxious, frequently checking the 'pulse' of her remaining glass glove. She offers a king's ransom in gems she has 'liberated' from the vault of a forgotten king.

Background Lore

Izel is a master thief whose gloves allow her to interact with the Ethereal Plane. However, the gloves are actually two halves of a sentient artifact from the Plane of Mirrors. Baron Valerius, a man obsessed with eternal preservation, stole the left glove to power a device called the Crystallizer.

What the World Knows

Izel was robbed of a family heirloom by a corrupt noble and wants the party to help her reclaim her property from his high-security manor.
