For the other 9 with positive virtue:
"The Tournament of Lords is one of the most noble traditions in the land. It is the one chance where even the the lowliest commoner can prove to be worthy, beyond lineage, to claim a title and land. Such a victory is rare but it does happen. Usually, a Lord's heir wins and, thus, expands their family's influence...but it's still a hope which people must hold on to. We have it on good authority that for the past several years, Lord Whitmoore, the Tournament overseer, has been rigging the Tournament in favor of those with the highest bribe. We want you to travel to his estate outside of the city, sneak into his manor, and find evidence of this. Once we have it, we can bring him to justice and make the tournament fair again for all. We can pay you 10 gold once you meet us back here. His manor is only a day's travel from here. You will be back in time to begin the competition knowing full well that you actually have a chance."
