Thanks to an arrangement recently brokered with the Temple of Shaundakul, Mench & Sons are proud to announce that they are now able to provide a superior service for the recovery and reconstitution of the deceased, but very much still vital, adventuring community.
With the payment of a modest sum of gold, the adventurer receives a �Mench Medallion� (now also available as a pin, or a host of other attractive designs � see our brochure), a unique item keyed to our permanently manned Headquarters in Waterdeep.
In the event that the wearer of the Medallion�s spirit ever leaves this realm, the Medallion signals our Headquarters, and one of our trained operatives will then hasten to locate, and then recover, the deceased�s body, and such of their equipment as can be located. Recovery can be achieved in less than half a minute at optimum performance! Once recovered, the body will be brought to the temple, where a trained priest will cast the resurrection and/or healing spells of your choice upon the departed.
Memorial Package:
For years, Tobias Mench has been acting as undertaker and legal guardian for the estates of the Adventurers of Waterdeep. With the help of his sons, Tobias has been able to branch out, and now offers his services as legal Executor to you, the adventurer at large, ensuring that your wishes are complied with after you have gone to your final rest.
Memorial Service (at the temple of your choice): 50-500gp
Preparation of Will: 100gp
Handling of Estate: 200gp plus your specific instructions.
