GUILD ADVENTURES
Among its various services, the Clifftop Adventurers'
Guild offers a launchpad for all manner of adventures.
Potential employers bring all manner of work to the
guildhall, posting messages or seeking out those with
specific fields of expertise. Guild members also relate
news about opportunities via word of mouth. Such jobs
might resemble those assigned by any other patron.
Without a patron directing your assignments, your
group is free to pursue its own goals, whether you're
seeking wealth, struggling against evil, pursuing a per
sonal vendetta, or simply reacting to disastrous events
around you. The Guild Adventures table refers to the de
scriptions of other patrons in this section; your DM can
use the adventure ideas in those descriptions to flesh
out job opportunities available through your guild.

In any of these cases, the potential employer might
represent an established organization (a crime syndi
cate or university, for example) or might be independent
like your party. In the latter case, there's always the
possibility that you could end up competing with an or
ganization-running up against a crime syndicate while
pursuing a criminal job, perhaps, or competing with uni
versity researchers to plunder a ruin. This competition
might turn into a rivalry, or it could evolve into employ
ment, with the crime syndicate or university recognizing
your talent and becoming your patron.
