Maidhc O Casain
Na Bith Mo Riocht Tá!
It's a dark and stormy night . . . the dark of the moon on the first day of Sarenith and the first day of Summer as well. Though it is impossible to tell, this night, that the moon is dark. The cloud cover is complete and the rain is coming down in sheets, making it impossible to see farther than fifteen or twenty feet down what passes for streets in the Scóg Bocht, the Poor District of Saor Ghabháltas.
Each of you met earlier in the afternoon with Bronágh Tadhg, the Commander (and owner) of Bronágh's Bees. The Bees are a relatively small Mercenary Corps with a reputation for excellence in their area of expertise - scouting, light cavalry and mounted light infantry (scouts and skirmishers).
Commander Tadhg is a Tiefling Paladin who worked his way up through the ranks of the Bees, finally buying out the former commander and taking the leadership about 10 years ago. Rumor has it he was recruited off the streets by the former commander as a child, and that he wasn't always a Paladin.
After a nerve wracking interview - the Commander wasn't unfriendly at all, just scrupulous and very thorough - you were each made the following offer:
The Bees offer to pay for your Bond for a year, during which time you will work for them as a member of their Corps. You will be members of a five man squad assigned as 'irregulars.' You're assignments will be scouting and reconnaissance for the most part, though 'other duties' may be expected of you on occasion.
As a member of the Bees, you will be entitled to Merc billeting and resupply of basic items free of charge from the stores at any Mercenaries' Guildhouse. Pay is a gold piece a day, plus any loot specified in the contract the Bees are filling with your services; however, the Bees get 10% of that loot (half of which goes to the Guild).
You were told that you'd have the night to consider the offer, and told that the other prospective members of your team could be found in the Scóg Bocht at an inn called The Ruffled Feathers should you desire to meet them before making your decision. You are not told where to find the inn, or the names or descriptions of your prospective teammates. You are told that there is another Merc outfit that has had some . . . disagreements . . . with the Bees recently. It is possible that some of them will be at The Ruffled Feathers, as it is The Wolfhounds' turn to rotate through as Garda (Wardens).
Commander Tadhg will be awaiting your decision at first light on the morrow.
