The thought of having the wolf in his stables is a little upsetting, but he has seen many who call wild animals family and none have caused any problems so far.  The night passes quietly and comfortably.  The next morning the man meets you in the common room as he promised.  Beside him is a young man wearing a light chain shirt and bearing a sword at his hip.  "Good morning all, this is Korwin Krenn the forth member of our guard.  The other two are waiting with the caravan at the master's compound in the northern part of the city."   says the recruiter in greeting.Mr. Jonas clears away your breakfast and takes the 3 gold coins from you for the room and food.  Inviting you to stay at his establishment the next time you are in town.  He also agrees to take a message from Kalythar to the War Guild if so desired."I guess we are all ready to go.  After you gents, miss." The recruiter says as he ushers you out side.  It is a little chillier this morning, but the sun is burning out over the sea.  Things look like they will improve given the chance to warm up a bit.The man leads you all through the city gates and past the liveried guards.  You find yourselves in Lobrethin, the uptown part of Ao Manasa.  To your right you pass a few buildings, behind which lies Kalythar's guild.  Up ahead on your right you spot the grand Ao Manasan University, with its strange and fantastic architecture.  The main hall spirals high into the air, spindles like a pinwheel fan out from it creating an interesting appearance.As you move beyond the university you can see another set of gates looking out over the lower part of the city.  Passing underneath, the guards watch as you make your way down slope of Highhill road.  Now in the more common part of town you make your way through the lower market as housewives barter with shopkeepers who are just setting up their stalls.  Smells of fresh bread and fragrant flowers drift to you as you pass.  Once clear of the market you make your way across the bridge over the river.  Above it lies the headquarters for the city guard, looking impressive in its giantish architecture.  On the north side of the river, the man leads you up the Winter Road a little ways and into a walled compound on the left.  "Here we are.  I'll let the master know that you are ready."You can the small caravan off to the right inside the compound.  Two wagons are being hitched to horses and a few others mill about waiting for the impending departure.  Moments later a small man dressed in a heavy black fur cloak comes ambling out of the large wooden house ahead.  Making his way over to you he speaks in a nasally voice, "Welcome, I am Master Mollen, thank you all for signing up.  We need some strong arms in case of trouble on the road. We have had word that some of the caravans have been ambushed by all manner of creatures.  Just last spring Gri-Taresh, the steward of the city, put a bounty on the dire creatures which prey on travellers.  We will be heading out in a little while, let me have your names first and we will get to the contracts before heading out."</blockquote>
