It has been two days since the majority of the Redtol Wyverns walked out the front door on their first job. You two watched forlornly, not wanting to be left behind, but knowing that Vincent had not chosen you for the job. You spent the last two days in the headquarters’ back room going over the large number of seemingly random items left behind by the last owners. A wardrobe full of linen gowns, several extra tables, an armoire filled with various coats for men and women, a shelf filled with wine-making and beer making books and even a coffin line the walls and floor. Vincent has had you take out a number of items and bring in some others (which frankly didn’t make much sense either, who needs a pile of half broken shields?). You didn’t ask too many questions, he was a bit strange anyway.
Now you are seated with Vincent in front of a slim girl of perhaps sixteen dressed in a fashion not typical to Keldon’s weather. She had come in dressed in numerous large coats but after unloading them all you can see that she is dressed in strange silk pants that balloon out around her legs and a shimmering silk wrap that leaves her midriff bare. Her long red hair is tied back into a high ponytail and her bright green eyes glitter over her smiling face. Vincent had called you down saying that there was a client with a job. Apparently this girl was the client. She has already given her name as Adelphie Cargillinie
“I need your help. And we’re willing to pay for it. My family and I have travelled far from our normal wandering paths to see Redtol and its cathedrals. We did not expect to be treated the way we are being treated though! No one ever told us that gypsies and reavers would find such a harsh welcome in this city. We need protection. Typically we could do this ourselves, but this group of fearsome paladins calling themselves the Order of the Silver Blade has been harassing us and you know how dealing with paladins in THIS city can be. We need someone to protect us and help us out. Obviously there’s no chance of just killing them all and being done with it but Mom and I can’t think of a single solution that can help. When she found out Mr. Wyce here was in town she sent me to him to call in a favor from about six years ago.”
