The Eyes of the Overworld - Jack Vance

Cugel has made a mistake. He has been caught, and by a wizard that could pretty easily blast him into being an ex-Cugel.

Instead, the wizard sends him on a quest. Said wizard will let
Cugel live if Cugel can bring him back one of the Eyes of the
Overworld. A lot easier said than done, of course.
