Re: OOC
When you think you are ready to RP your character in a non-combat situation - please make your way to The Happy Drover. This is an opportunity for you chat IC, so the characters get to know each other a bit and to share you background / histories (to the extent you are comfortable). It is an opportunity for the characters to get to know each other and start gelling as a group/party before I start trying to kill you all.
Here is a basic description of your interview with Henry.
Henry de la Maistre, and his assistant, saw you in a private room at the Silver Dagger, a well appointed Inn - and certainly not the cheapest place to interview recruits in Restov. Henry was well dressed and spoke with an air of confidence as he explained that he had been given a Charter to map an area of The Stolen Lands, to the west of Restov and he was looking for recruits to help him in this task.
He wasn’t offering good money - board and lodging for the duration of the expedition, a flat fee of 15gp and a share of any spoils of war - but it was one of the few jobs on offer at the moment. And it was a chance to get out of the city for the upcoming summer – and, perhaps, to build yourself a bit of a reputation at the same time.
He explained that this was one of a number of charters that had been offered along Brevoy’s southern border. Maegar Varn and his band were heading south from Restov, Lord Drelev and his troops was going to lake Hookentonue and a mercenary group called the Iron Wraiths, dedicated to Gorum, were heading further west. And he, Henry, had managed to secure a Charter to explore and map an area to the south of a Trade Outpost that had been chartered earlier. You are warned that there is bandit activity in the area and that he, and his employees, are authorised to execute summary justice on bandits – either taking them for trial in Restov or executing them on the spot.
Once you agree the contract, he tells you to head out to The Happy Drover, where he has secured barracks accommodation for you.
OOC: You all get a bonus 15gp to spend. I know it isn't a lot, but it has to be better than nothing :)
