The mission: Your story in Setubal

You’re Stavros, a copper miner on your way to Cornwall. But you’re not just any worker; word of your phenomenal strength and stubborn good luck has travelled far and wide. 
 
You’ve just docked at Setúbal for provisions and ship repairs. As usual, you left your boat in the good hands of the shipwrights and decided to explore the city as you look for a place to stay for the night. 
 
The city welcomes you with open arms, but something isn’t right, and you’re about to find out why.
