Patrin nods in aproval when he sees Baazuka joining them.  ''Let's get to the point.  The neighborhood cultists that I referred to, as many have surely guessed, are The Sons Of The sword.  They are an order of warrior monks dedicated to Maros, or so they say. You may also have heard that Rinch the Riser's gang has been decapitated, recently.  And unlike previous occasions, it seems he is no longer coming back from the dead as he was wont to do.  He was done in by a band of regulars of this tavern, actually.  Rinch was a powerful wack job who somehow had control over undeads and shadows.  He seemed to have been a bit of a cultist himself and was dedicated to some kind of fallen god known only as 'The Usurper'.So what do the Sons of the Sword have to do with Rinch?  That's kinda why I am hiring.  The Sons have started mopping up what's left of RInch's gang.  Hey, it's very much appreciated, even if vigilantism is technically illegal.  Rinch had created herds of zombies all over the Commons and many of his surviving lieutenants are necromancers of some sorts.  And to be honest, the guard just doesn't go into the Commons enough, so we can't really complain if somebody else does our job.  We suffer from lack of manpower combined with the fact that many of my colleagues are scared little girls.  So yeah, on the face of it, I really like what the Sons of the Sword are doing.  But come on, what's up with that?  There is no such thing as a free lunch.  What are they getting out of it?  What's their angle?  That's what is worrying me.  My superiors are telling me to let them do their things.  They are cleaning the city for free.  Me, well, I didn't join the city guard just to spite my father...  I can't just 'let them do their thing' without investigating.  I gotta be sure they really are working in the best interest of the city.And so I am heading to their headquarters.  That's why I need an escort.  For one thing, if they are doing sneaky arcane stuff, I wouldn't know it unless a spell hit me.  That's where Haruka and Sheng here will prove most useful.  Also, if I go alone and they are up to something, it'll be too easy to just make me disappear.  A full party, not so much.Frankly, I hope that all we are dealing with is a bunch of religious fanatics who hope to honour their god by defeating the force of chaos.  That'd be great.  But I gotta be sure.''[sblock=Party]We need a goon!  Or, you know, a defender of any kind.Sheng Zim, Sorcer 3 (striker)Haruka Sato, Warlock 3 (Striker)Garry, Druid 2 (Controller)Bazuuka, Warlorld 2 (Leader)[/sblock]</blockquote>
