A peculiar item was found in Gandin's sleeping quarters. An item that looked like a a long rope had a ribbon tied to it, at the end of the ribbon was a small note attached. It read:

To Gandin, From the Guild of Galas'nor

Gandin Receives:

Iron Rope
When the end of this gray hemp rope is held and the command word is uttered, it is irrevocably transmuted into solid iron. The transmuted rope loses all magic and has the hardness and hit points of a normal inch-thick iron bar. When crafted, the rope is 25 feet long, but can be cut up to three times and each section of rope can be commanded to harden individually.

[Fellow Rabbit]

Gandin, son of Gehin

"What is this?" Gandin was surprised when he was fishing around behind his bed after dropping one of his hand axes back there. He had found the hand axe, but not before stumbling upon a length of cable that he had no memory of acquiring. He pulled it out and saw nothing out of the ordinary about it. "An iron rope?" he questioned, holding it in his hand. "Where did this come from? And why?" He was stumped. Surely there was something he missed. He set the rope aside and began to reach back behind his bed again, fishing for any other treasures he might have lost in the great void below. There were many crumbs, a wishbone from some number of Thanksgivings ago, one of his Octavia plushes, a pinecone, and a few clipped toenails, none of which he cared much to clear out except for the plush, which he moved somewhere safer.

But with all this miscellaneous items just sitting there under his bed, he wondered what other treasures he might be hiding from himself beneath his very nose. He dove to the floor and shoved himself as far under his bed as he could fit, causing quite a bit of ruckus as he knocked his bed against the wall. There were a few storage cases that he quickly pushed out into the middle of his room so he could navigate further, but it wasn't until he pushed away his painting supplies from the gift exchange that he found a ribbon attached to a note that he definitely would not have been able to reach from atop his bed. "Aha!"

He unfolded the note and read it from under his bed with what little light he could.

'To Gandin, From the Guild of Galas'nor,' it read.

"Wait a second, how long has this been down here?" he asked himself. After all, wasn't this one of the things the Guild did for members on their birthdays? His birthday was months ago! This must have been why he didn't get a present! He had just lost it before even knowing he had gotten something. It must have been a long day for him to have missed a bow so bright before crashing into bed. What mission had he gone on for his birthday? It didn't matter. What mattered is that now he had some major apologies to make to some guild leaders for some nasty things he might have thought or said or done to or about them.

...Nah.

Double checking to ensure he hadn't lost anything else under his bed, he crawled out and shoved all his storage chests back underneath. The note wasn't all that descriptive, so he still wasn't sure what this cable was good for other than the standard stuff. Was it enchanted somehow? Could he cause it to grow in length? Could he control it with his mind? Could he use to punish Kin for his sins against the world? Maybe one of the guild leaders could tell him.

With that thought, he grabbed the rope, the bow, the note, and his pants and ran out the door to find one of them. It was starting to get late, so he hoped they hadn't all retired for the night, as Gandin himself was about to before finding the rope. Hopping down the hall as he stumbled to dress himself, he made way for the guild hall, where he expected to find either the higher-ups themselves or one of those weird guys that never seems to sleep who probably knew where to find them. When he got there, he was only slightly disappointed to find only the latter.

"Hey, uh..." he stopped for a moment, realizing he had no idea what this guy's name was. After an awkward beat, he decided to just skip that part. "Do you know where the people in charge of birthday gifts are?"
