"It seems as good as any. Do we have a limit on how many of these tasks we can take?" Dahne asked, taking a very long gulp of his liquor afterwards but keeping questioning eyes focused on the cat-person-thing.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I... don't know. Haven't asssked." Shiloh shrugged. He turned to the bartender. "How many of thessse can we take at a time?" he asked, pointing at the job board.

Ask!

[Slayer1557]

Shiloh tapped Dahne on the shoulder, then pointed at the spring job. "What do you think?" he asked.

"It seems as good as any. Do we have a limit on how many of these tasks we can take?" Dahne asked, taking a very long gulp of his liquor afterwards but keeping questioning eyes focused on the cat-person-thing.

The two of you head over to the bar and wave over the woman serving drinks.  "What can I get you boys?"  Shiloh motions over to the board and replies, "We would like the job about the 'pure spring' or something on the first floor.  You handle that stuff?"

She grabs some papers from behind the bar and looks through them.  "Yea, people leave jobs here since it tends to be the most frequented by you explorer types.  I manage these jobs and payment for finishing them.  Ah here it is.  Nobody has taken it yet."  She points at a paragraph on the page and reads it out.  "There was a legend of a knight who got lost in the Labyrinth.  He had taken serious injuries, and wasn't going to survive the night.  He pushed on as long as he could, but collapsed.  To his surprise, he had found a spring of crystal clear water.  Drinking from the spring, his wounds were miraculously healed.  Now, the client wants you to relocate the spring and bring a sample of the water back.  He insists the legend is real, but who knows, this could be a wild goose chase.  It pays 200 En if you can find it."

"I... don't know. Haven't asssked." Shiloh shrugged. He turned to the bartender. "How many of thessse can we take at a time?" he asked, pointing at the job board.

Ask!

"So how many of thessse can we take a time?"

"We limit each guild to three.  Please try to drop jobs if you don't think you can complete them.  That way we can get another guild on it."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Fair enough." Shiloh turned to Dahne. "Ssshould we try all three?" It seemed like a good idea to him. And knowing the location of that spring could come in handy in future trips. Speaking of, he turned back to the bartender. "Do you sssell any empty bottlesss or jarsss? We might need them for that job."

[Caellath]

"I thought that might have been the case. Either that or an one-mission-limit, but since it's more flexible, we should take them all; imagine if we didn't and then managed to fulfill them by accident or something." Dahne replied as he savored the liquor. Drinking just to get as drunk as a skunk was certainly an option, but the Highlander would rather enjoy a good selection than quaff some terrible ale. "And it's good stuff you have here, by the way." he said to the barwoman, taking the moment to compliment the alcoholic beverage.

[Harry Baldman]

"What are you drinking there, fine sir?"

Order some of what he's drinking, and chat further.

[Caellath]

Suitably drunk, Dahne considers it's about time.

It's bagpipe time.

[Slayer1557]

"Fair enough." Shiloh turned to Dahne. "Ssshould we try all three?" It seemed like a good idea to him. And knowing the location of that spring could come in handy in future trips. Speaking of, he turned back to the bartender. "Do you sssell any empty bottlesss or jarsss? We might need them for that job."

"Empty bottles?"  She looks up and down the bar comically.  There are dozens of empty bottles scattered around from thirsty patrons.  "Nah, we're fresh out."  She chuckles.  "Take whatever you need."

"I thought that might have been the case. Either that or an one-mission-limit, but since it's more flexible, we should take them all; imagine if we didn't and then managed to fulfill them by accident or something." Dahne replied as he savored the liquor. Drinking just to get as drunk as a skunk was certainly an option, but the Highlander would rather enjoy a good selection than quaff some terrible ale. "And it's good stuff you have here, by the way." he said to the barwoman, taking the moment to compliment the alcoholic beverage.

"Thanks.  We understand that adventurers run on their stomach, so we do what we can.  Let me get you the details on those jobs." She rifles through the papers and reads off the other two jobs.

Bug Extermination - Floor B1: The client wants to collect herbs and plants from the first floor of the Labyrinth.  Making this safer for civilians would mean a better supply of medicine for everyone.  It seems that it is also a major nest for various insects.  You are to clear out the insects.  The pay is in medicine.

"The client provided this to help.  There's a dry packed powder in there.  Burning that in the clearing should draw the monsters out.  The client said that it's a clearing with a bunch of flowers in it."  She hands you a small pot with a covered lid and a few matches.

Fresh Crabapples - Floor B1: The client wants some crabapples for baking with.  They should be found on the first floor.  The pay is 100 En.

"What are you drinking there, fine sir?"

Order some of what he's drinking, and chat further.

"This?  Oh, it's sewer brew.  It clears my head, and I can ease my worries.  Tastes like shit."  "Sounds fantastic, I think I'll get one myself." You head over to the bartender, and ask for a sewer brew.  She recoils in disgust but reluctantly fills up a glass with the foul alcohol.  Taking a swill, you see what it is you brought upon yourself.  It tastes just as the old man described, and it hits your stomach like a sledgehammer... on fire.

Not bad.

Zertch suddenly steps out from the shadows, right beside Maximus K. Mackay.

Zertch suddenly steps out from the shadows, right beside Maximus K. Mackay.

"Ah, Mr. Nihsa, good to have you join us! Would you like a sewer brew?"

Regardless of the answer, he looks back at the old man.

"Oh, but where are my manners! I am Maximus K. Mackay. Who might you be, good sir?"

Inquire as to this fine individual's name or other identifier, if he sees fit to provide one.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Oh. Well, if they're free..."

Shiloh swipes ten bottles.

[Caellath]

Dahne suddenly halts what seems to be an attempt to strip down to his tartan so he can play the bagpipes wearing only his house's pattern and decides to assist the catperson in his efforts to gather some bottles.

Help Shiloh with bottle-gathering and afterwards go around checking if there are any pleasantly joyful tables with people discussing rumors, tips and ideas.

You show your drink to your Ninja companion and recommend it.  He shows little emotion, considering his face is hidden as it is.  You shrug it off and turn back to the old man.  "Oh, but where are my manners! I am Maximus K. Mackay. Who might you be, good sir?"  The old man seems a bit shy about it, "Oh, I'm nobody.  The rest of my guild has long since left or died, and the Radha won't let me go solo."  He sighs deeply and finishes his drink.  "It's turned sour, that's my que to go.  I'll be around."  He gets up and starts walking away.  He stops next to you for a moment.  Without looking at you he mutters, "Ordo, the name is Ordo."  And then he leaves.

Zertch suddenly steps out from the shadows, right beside Maximus K. Mackay.

The shadows are your friend, and nothing can get in your way.  Like a leaf on the wind you flow into the tavern in an instant and stop next to a familiar face, Maximus.  Nobody really noticed your sudden appearance, too deeply involved with their food and drink.  Eventually Max sees you and welcomes you.  He holds up what must be sewer brew.  You get a whiff of it, and it nearly knocks you off your feet.  You use every ounce of willpower you have to keep your cool and collected appearance up.  Dear god, what did they make that stuff out of?  You've seen poisons milder than that!

"Oh. Well, if they're free..."

Shiloh swipes ten bottles.

You stash a couple of bottles away.  They smell a little funky, but that'll wash out... probably.  Dahne stops stripping and helps you take a couple more bottles.

Dahne suddenly halts what seems to be an attempt to strip down to his tartan so he can play the bagpipes wearing only his house's pattern and decides to assist the catperson in his efforts to gather some bottles.

Help Shiloh with bottle-gathering and afterwards go around checking if there are any pleasantly joyful tables with people discussing rumors, tips and ideas.

You drag Shiloh away and go around introducing yourselves to people.  Most are pretty welcoming.  They wish you the best of luck with your exploration.  A female Survivalist and a male Gladiator invite you to chat for a bit.  The girl sips at her coffee, but the Gladiator is pounding away alcohol like a champ.  The guy says, "Yea, you need to be really careful.  There's a lot of really powerful enemies out there.  Today we ran into a death mantis on the fourth floor!" "Third floor." "It was the third?  Well in any case, we just cut our losses and got out of there.  Those things have swords for arms, practically." "Don't let your guard down, even on these early floors.  Sometimes monsters will wander upwards, and cause trouble.  Just trust your intuition and don't bite off more than you can chew."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Hmm. Are thessse armsss valuable?" Shiloh asked. "Can they be turned into a weapon?" It would be interesting to use a death mantis's arm in battle; according to these two, they were dangerous foes, and therefore that could be a strong weapon to have indeed.

The girl looks at you quizzically, "Well... yes it's probably worth a fair bit.  That blacksmith can turn pretty much anything into equipment, so he probably can make a sword out of it.  Promise me you won't try to fight it.  At least until you are very ready." "Eh, if they want to fight one, that's what they want!" "Don't encourage them!"
