Ask for further information on job 4.

[Scood]

takes the job number 2

[scapheap]

(You all meet in a inn)

Kelvin look at his drinking buddy soon to be adventuring buddy "So Which do you think we should take? I'm interested in the third one myself."

[Patrick Hunt]

I'm for 1-4, more interesting and better pay and prospects for me and my lazy friend who's getting a bucket of water tipped over him if he ain't up soon.

In fact.



Harvey looks around briefly before grabbing a passing servant and sending him up to Crowehearts room to throw a pale of water over him.

[scapheap]

"Out of those two, I would prefer the recruiting."

[Patrick Hunt]

" That suits me fine wars are good for getting rich. "

[GiglameshDespair]

Overhead, there was the sound of the servants's footsteps. There was a mumour of voices before the shing of a sword, thudding into wood. Rapid foot steps of the servant running, babbling apologies, were followed by a slow, measured tread.

The bulky black-cloaked figure emerged from the stairwell and sat down heavily next to them. His clothes were dry.

"Have we decided on a task?"

[Patrick Hunt]

Harvey snorted in amusement watching the servant run before pushing a bowl of porridge and a flagon of ale in front of Croweheart.

" You didn't need to terrify the pore man you could have just told him you were awake you know.

We decided on the crusade, good money, good prospects and plenty of chance to distinguish ourselves and make a few friends who know how to swing a sword, sound good? "

[GiglameshDespair]

"That sounds fine to me." With one hand, he pulled the mask away from his face at an angle, leaving it hidden while he spooned the porridge into his mouth. When he was done to released his grip and the mask slid back into place. He left the ale untouched on the table.
"Let us go, then."

[Funk]

The four of you walk around town for a hour in and out of inn and ale houses until you find the Landsknechts.
The inside of the anvil and boar is filled with sleeping men, many of them wearing bold coloured and flamboyant outfits.

Kelvin quickly gets talking to a beard man in bright red jacket with green cloth puffing out of slashes.
"So you and your friends want to join us them? For a start i can offer you 4 Guilders a month (50$) and that is the basic rate.
Good steady men can rise quickly and where we going they will be a lot of chances to show the world just what you are made of."

You are taken aback by the offered sum, a conmen labour will make at most 2 Guilders a month.
"So will you come with me, following the banner of Matthias Corvinus to glory?"


Can any one think of a name for your group?

His voice when he speaks is harsh and grates, like two stone slabs grinding against each other. Over his soldier is a huge sword, raw and heavy - more like a slab of iron than a sword. Despite it's rough nature, a suprisingly elegant dragon has been carved into the blade.

[Patrick Hunt]

Standing nexto to Croweheart Harvey talks quietly.

" Think this idiot has any idea what the 2 of us are capable of? I'd wager on us ending up out ranking him by the end of the war if he lives long enough to kiss our boots at all with that attitude.

Should we accept now or see if we can push him to make a higher offer? Maybe explain who we are so he knows we're worth more then the idiots he's found thus far. "

As he speaks Harvey looks a little strained and his hands twitch slightly towards the Glaives strapped to the small of his back.

[scapheap]

Kelvin remain silent, reading the others reactions

[USEC_OFFICER]

Otto glares at the rest of the party. "I am a man of GOD. If we weren't fighting the heathen Muslims I wouldn't be here."

((Also, I forgot to buy a wooden cross for myself! Can you add that in for me, Funk?))

[Patrick Hunt]

" Be calm monk, the rest of us have other priorities the only question is how much we think is fair for the job. If you don't want your share we'll take it. "
