Ah, my fortune must be taking a change for the better! I've heard quite a bit about you from other HUD members. Quite a busy body, so to speak, eh? That's good! Some do things in the world and others only talk about it. Let me cut to the chase then. A valuable item of mine has been lost. The delivery boy that was bringing it to me seems to have run afoul of the local Chomper population; at least his remains seem to point to this. I'd like you to "check" the local beasts in hopes of finding it. Don't worry about the book, it won't be destroyed by anything as simple as a Chomper's belly.
