[Haspen]

Prixima raised her eyebrow in surprise.

"Ooh? No complaints? No hesistation? My, you will be a man one day. Well, let's get to the point, then; the archer who survived our interrogations diluted the location of the hideout of that bitch Arinne just tonight. Normally I would sned the soldiers to kill the pests, but by pure coincidence I have a mercenary group at my disposal. Isn't it interesting?"

Prixima lifted herself from the chair and placed her hands on the desk, looking more imposing than before.

"Bring me the head of Arinne. If you do, I will finally agree that you're good enough. I believe Aaron will give you the details. Do you have any questions that I might or might not answer to?"

[Darvi]

Yes, why are you so goddamn scary.
"No, Melady. Aaron can probably answer just as well, and I do not wish to waste more of your time."

[Haspen]

"Good. Begone, then."

"By the look on your face, I will assume everything went as she have planned and discussed with me. Which means I will have to take your group to the armory. We will supply you with iron weapons if you want them, but of course you can keep your lightweight blades instead."

Aaron turned to look at Ami and Henry with a slight grin.

"Unfortunately, we cannot be that generous in terms of magical tomes and staffs. Our garrison's healers and mages need them as well. So, who wants to exchange their weapons for iron ones?"

((In case yer too lazy to check: Iron weapons are heavier and have higher dmg, but lose the critical bonus and have slightly lower hit chance.))

[Taricus]

: "Before we go anywhere, Sterling, how much are we being paid for this job, and what is it?"

[Darvi]

"Remember the bandit leader? Apparently they found out the location of her hideout", in a tone that expresses disapproval, "and we're supposed to go get her. Five thousand gold, and the new weapons I guess. Urgh, I'm not made for dealing with that kind of person...

"Actually, sir Aaron, while we fought her goons, she vanished from the battlefield. It didn't seem like it was your men who made her leave. Do you know if she has other enemies that we should know about?"

[Criptfeind]

"You sure about that? Her disappearance coincides with the arrival of the knights pretty well. Seems like a safe bet that they are the reason she left.

At any rate, this is good. A chance to get back at her for her attack on us, and we get paid for it. Certainly seems like a good job. Although don't have any idea of her strength, so we should likely be cautious. But hopefully the defeat we gave her yesterday weakened her."

[Haspen]

"Arinne is known for her wisdom, even if it doesn't show. She never picks on strong targets. All the victims that fell to her group were hapless adventurers or poorly defended caravans. She also spent most of her life in a small village on the outskirts of the forest, so she knows her way around the woods better than most of Torres' men." Aaron made a brief pause to brush his hair with his left hand.

"Our informants told us that she and her group are occupying an old manor from the times of Great Deynastia. It's in the hills to the north-west from Kesselring Forest, and because there's no settlements, or mines, or trade routes there, no one really visits these parts. I will be in Armory if any of you want the iron weapons." With that, he saluted briefly, and then went down the corridors, and then, down the stairs.

[Darvi]

"Informants. Right. I almost feel sorry for the man."

[Emral282]

Daniel momentarily thought about switching before deciding to stick with his lightweight sword.
"Eh, don't get too discouraged boss. Bandit hunting is far from the most... unsavory job a mercenary could ask for. Plus, you already accepted the job, too late to go back now. I'm ready to leave when you are."

[Darvi]

"You don't need to call me that. I'm not going to order anyone around or anything. Just do whatever you think is best. Anyway, I'm going to take Aaron up on his offer and get myself a new sword."

[Sirus]

After giving it some thought, Gregor opts to keep his lightweight lance until he can become stronger.

: "Well, I think this is a fantastic opportunity! If we can disrupt bandit operations in this area, the villages will be safer and trade will be able to get through more easily."
He salutes Sterling. "Private von Hexham, ready to move out!"

[Darvi]

"Oh, so you're joining us? Fancy that. The more the merrier, as they say."

[Sirus]

: "Of course I'm coming along!...I think. I mean, I assumed that's why I've been training with you and your group for the past week."

[Furtuka]

"Oh yeah, I forgot you were there most of the time..."

[Sirus]

: "I tend to have that impression on people, I'm afraid..."
