Guild Life IC - "Hand in your applications here"

[Amaxin]

Glancing at Reginald with a thoughtful look, Anri pondered about the man himself - his speech impediment suggested a lack of any knowledge in his head, yet he seemed somewhat competent. With her finger still bleeding slightly, she let few drops of the red liquid fall on the book after a brief lecture. "Just like I was taught for years... Hunting requires a steady hand. Snipe sounds good."
Closing the book and moving it closer to herself, she glanced towards rest group with slight curiosity, taking regard of the orcblood missing his finger. With a silent sigh, she turned her sight towards the fourth member of the group, awaiting his choice.

[coroneljones]

Godwin considered the "skills and abilities" presented in the book, taking the time to skim through the pages, looking towards the prerequirements before slowly closing his book and pulling it closer to himself

[Karmac]

Gazghul watches with confusion as the 'umie holds onto his book, then leans over and whispers to the man with concern in his voice,
"Ya know 'ow ta read roit? If youse 'avin a tuff time I can helps ya"

[coroneljones]

Godwin raised an eyebrow, returning a whisper
" I can readeth, i am simply. saving t f'r at which hour i require one of these abilities "

[Karmac]

Gazghul nodded as he replied to the man,
"Dats smart finkin', yous well cunnin' for a 'umie"

[Kavrick]

After you finalize your decisions, Reginald leads you over to a large cork board on the western side of the Inn. The board is covered in notes, most of the being around the middle with fewer at the top and bottom, they seem to be sorted into rows, with a letter on the left side signifying what they belong to. "So" Reginald steps in "This 'ere be the board dat you get yer quests from, ya can only take quests belongin' to tha same rank as ya or lower, so as yer all startin' off as F ranks, you'll be takin' from tha bottom of tha board, these quests tend' ta be small scouting or searching quests, we dont get many of dem because most of 'em are taken by non adventurers, an' as it's summer,
we got even less quests, as monsters and tha like tend to be more active durin' the winter, with all the longer nights and such." He squats down, taking a the only note from it's pin "So some landowner died an' he had no next of kin ta go to, so tha land an wot's in it will be goin' to tha closest guild, which be us, in 'articular, there's a rich iron mine innit that'll be a great value ta us, so all we need is fer ya to scout it out and make sure it be safe before we send the workers in, fer a F class quests this one be pretty important, so dun mess it up." As he finishes, he hands the note to the group, the reward reads five valis and one thousand essence, the location being two days travel to the north east.

[Nightwolf901]

Nikara would follow behind the Innkeep as she wondered about the higher rank jobs. This was quite Intriging at first. She looked at the rewards and frowned. She would still have no money after this but maybe they would get something better during the scout. "Easy enough.. Will we be provided any traveling supplies"?

[Amaxin]

Giving the note a pondering look, Anri shrugged slightly. "You're saying it's a rich iron mine, with no owner nor guards. Rich iron mines in a good spot, might be bandits inside?" Glancing between Reginald and between the rest of the party, she adjusted the bow on the back slightly. "Is there a lot of bandit scum in the area, I should ask beforehand."

[Karmac]

Gazghul shakes his head as his companions speak,
"Yous askin' too much, da fun comes from da suprise..."
Gazghul then ponders why some cheeses taste different to each other.

[Kavrick]

Reginald turns to Anri first, before shuffling through his coat. "oh right, i nearla forgot, take one of these tokens, if ya take it down to the market, the stand with our seal on it will give you guys a few things, a bedroll,
water skin and enough food for four days, he'll alsa give ya a selection fer two items, although some of tha more expensive stuff it wont cova, of course." he says, handing out a small token with the guild emblem on it out. "And as fer the bandits, now if we knew, we wouldn't be askin' ya to go look, would we? Also, while i'm at it, there's a guy who will be waiting fer yer there, he's a new adventurer like you lot, but when he signed up there was no one fer him ta join, treat him well will ya know?"

[Karmac]

Gazghul takes his token and wanders off towards the market, mumbling something about cheese.

[coroneljones]

Godwin took his token, shortly after putting his book away, and made his way towards the market
"Adventure!"

[Garrison]

Already at the Market, lost in thought as he closely inspected the token in his fingers, Shaun aimlessly wondered through the market, occasionally peering over to a random stall. He recalled one selling Animal hides, one offering Fresh crops from the fields, and another selling boxes of an odd concoction. It had attracted interest from the folk on the streets, but his knowledge told him its effects were either grossly exaggerated or mere snake oil. Then with a look to his left, he noticed it. A rather well established stall that had the Guild Emblem boldly displayed on its banner.

[Kavrick]

You walk into the market square, the empty stalls painted a dull orange as the sun sets over the town, bar a single stall accompanied by the blacksmith you noticed on your way in, resting his feet on the table with his hat tilted over his face. Noticing you walking up, he tilts his hat up before standing up at the stall, "What can I do for you?" the man says, motioning over to you.

[Garrison]

Noticing the man gesturing too him, Shaun snaps back to reality, composing himself, and approaches the stall, he holds up the token so the man can see it.
"Your with the adventurers guild, correct? I was told you could help me get started on my journeys "

[coroneljones]

Godwin quickly raised and extended his token
" Thy finest basic armaments and equipment art requir'd f'r this glorious first adventure."

[Amaxin]

Following the group headed towards the market closely, with the token in her hand, as she glances around the empty stalls with a thoughtful look. Humming quietly to herself, she pondered what kind of goods are being sold at the city at this time of the year. Giving the man behind the stall a thankful nod for his short, yet meaningful welcome, she simply let the others speak, raising the token into the air and showing it to the trader.

[Kavrick]

"Ah, newbies eh?" he says, yawning. "Well with your token i can get you a couple of things to get you on your feet, these items are as follows: A bedroll, 5 days worth of rations in flatbread,
a waterskin and two items of choice, being of course equipment" He continues, before bringing out a couple of crates onto the table. "For gear you can choose from a leather jerkin, a standard casting staff, buckler, heater shield, shortsword, longsword, dagger or a bow with a quiver and 20 arrows."He explains, putting the weapons next to each other on front of you "This kinda gear should get the ball rolling and will be fine for F rank quests, although of course you'll want to get better stuff if you ever make it to the higher ranks."

[Garrison]

Surprised to hear a noble accent beside him, Shaun looked up in Godwin's direction. Giving a quick inspection trying to figure out how to address him.
"A Nobleman? here? Pardon my ignorance sir, but where do you hail from?"

[coroneljones]

Godwin examined the longsword, focusing on the handle and then the blade, along with the Heater Shield, with some back and forths between it and that glorious leather jerkin, before selecting the longsword and shield and glancing towards Shaun
"Ah, thee might not but beest the one the guild sir referenced, greetings to thee, from Sir Godwin Torian, as f'r whither I am from, Albion is home to all, enwheeling myself "

[Garrison]

Shaun nods approvingly too Godwin's words, for some reason, he almost seems relieved.
"Well met Sir Godwin, I am Shaun Merton. You are right, when I applied for my tome there wasn't anyone I could band with. The barkeep sent me out here and said he would send a group in my direction."

Shaun then looks to the armaments laid about on the counter. He picks up the heater shield in both hands, approximating its weight. He then puts it down and takes the Jerkin, eyeing the casting staff for a moment, he takes a sheath out of his satchel. Revealing a short sword, but the blade is battered and worn, it has obviously seen better days. Shaun looks to the blacksmith and asks a question.

"How much effort would be required to repair this?"

[Karmac]

Gazghul hefts a longsword in one hand, gives it a few good swings, nodding approvingly as he does so and grabs the leather jerkin, attempting to fit it on his oversized frame.
"Dis'll work jus fine for me I fink"

[Kavrick]

The blacksmith takes your tokens and sets you up with the supplies and gear of choice [remember to add it to your inventory] with the addition of a map [you guys can decide who will keep it on their person] and promptly sits on his chair, tilts down his hat, and appropriately falls asleep.

[Nightwolf901]

Nikara would pick up the dagger for a moment and lower it back down. She looked over the equipment before picking up the Bow and Quiver. She nodded lightly. They were both light and kept her out of the action and if need be she always has her dirk for close quarters. However she wouldn't pick up any armor yet. She didn't feel the need to be slowed down. She looked up with a small smile and gave the merchant/blacksmith we coin before setting off towards the others. She slung the bow over her back and placed the quiver at her waist.

[Garrison]

Shaun blinks cluelessly as the Blacksmith dozes off without answering his question. Giving a small sigh, he sheaths the damaged short sword, leaving it on the counter before picking up a replacement. He takes off his Sage green robe, revealing belts of pockets and pouches strapped to his tunic and waist. He removes and replaces them once he gets the Leather Jerkin on over his tunic. Afterwards he quietly proceeds with the others, steeling himself for the venture to come.
