The call went out in Loftwick for hardy men, willing to head out to the borderlands for dangerous but lucrative work. Several adventurers answered the call, and appeared before the honorable Nikolai Ferronti, a wealthy man visiting the city.
As those hoping to be hired met him individually in his quarters, Ferronti, a sharply dressed man with a trimmed goatee, looked and acted in every manner like a foreignor. He carried himself as one accustomed to weath and privalege, and his offer to them went like so:
"A small Keep on the borders of this nation has recently come under my sway. Unfortunately, it is beset at this time with bandits, goblins, and the like. I am in need of stout men with an adventurous spirit to clear the lands of danger. The work will be tough, but I believe you will be up to it.
"I will be willing to give you a stipend of 50 pieces of gold today, as a good faith offering, and to prepare you for the journey west. In two days time, you will escort my representative, Danello, west to Kendall Keep, and begin the work of clearing my lands of danger. You will receive another 50 gp upon arrival there, and there will be bounties paid out to you for the slaying of monsters and brigands. Is this offer acceptable?"
OOC: Each of you can negotiate your own terms with him concurrently with the adventure's start. Just put 'Negotiations' in the Title section. You can also question him, investigate in town, etc. i just don't want that to take away from the first adventure installment below.
