"It is a very valid question that you ask Miss Morger. I trust that my rather presumptious manner of bringing you to me has not caused any serious offense - I fear that from time to time I am overtaken by my own flair for the dramatic. "As I have made clear, I have approached you in the hope of employing you in certain capacities. Sigil is a city in which most things can be discovered if one knows where to look and what to pay. My own researches have made it apparent to me that you all would be suitable for the task I have in mind, and I am sure that you will find the reward sufficient to pique your interest. What I desire from you is your services as guardians. There is a certain man, currently residing in Curst, who's under very considerable threat. There are those who would have him dead, and this must be prevented. I will not attempt to deceive you - the task is a dangerous one. Those who would kill the man will stop at nothing in their efforts to get at him, and their power is not inconsiderable, though I do not believe it is too great for you to handle.  "I would expect you to keep him alive and, as far as possible, unharmed for an unspecified time period. I do not yet know how long he will require protection, but for as long as he does it will fall to you to give him that protection. In return for this service, I will pay handsomely. The pay is not necessarily non-negotiable, but my offer is one thousand jinx per day, for each of you.  Arilleus sits back with a sigh as he finishes his long speech, puffing on his strange pipe. "What say you? Do I have your interest?"</blockquote>
