Each of you during the morning to afternoon arrived in town. It is a minorly walled city you known upon entering. You also note that there really isn't much of a fighting force for police or otherwise noted. Surprisingly lack of guards in general. Not a surprise the city doesn't have a weapon or armor limit.

With ease you locate the Griffen Inn/tavern and get yourself set. Asking around you locate the town hall building where you been told the burgermister is. It isn't the largest of building around can appears it could use some upkeep. Inside is bare. There are some benches to sit down on and on the far side of it with a door is a sized down desk for a prune of ancient halfling lady. (High school teacher that loves a ruler.) You quickly find she no sense of humor and only Sit and wait and the burgermister will see you is what she has to say.

With in a few minutes about dozen men and women file out of burgermisters office. Some take note of you, but don't take any time to speak to you. These people remind you of guild leader types. Apparently the meeting with the burgermister didn't go will considering their attitudes.

It is your turn now to enter the also bare room, but at least it has a dozen or so chairs besides the burgermister and his desk.

Jeral eyes each of you as you settle down in the chairs. Sorry about the less than special start but I'm glad to see you. I'm burgermister Jeral and who do I have the esteem pleasures to meet?

Evalynn Everstar perks up first, standing upright and almost at attention. She holds out her hand to the Burgermeister for a handshake. "Good day to you, Sir Burgermeister, Sir. My name is Sister Evalynn Everstar. Pleasure to finally make your acquaintance." She appears put together, but is slightly nervous. She straightens her belt a bit before awkwardly smiling and making eye contact again.

Gladly takes your hand. I'm glad to have you Sister Evalynn Everstar. I be expecting the best from you. He looks to the others.

Seraphina has gotten a bit bored while waiting. That halfling school marm outside reminded her of the orphanages and she didn't much appreciate that trip down memory lane. She amused herself by playing with her sweet mouse, Sir Camembert. When the Burgermeister arrived, she secreted him away into her pocket, for the large folk were always squirming about whenever they saw a mouse, she had come to notice.

Evalynn beat her to the punch while she secured Sir Camembert in her pocket.

"Seraphina Hollysharp, at your service. Specializing in Practical Justice and Odd Jobs that Require Questions Left Unasked."

She bows, curt and precise-like.

Jeral give her slight bowing in return. Well met Seraphina Hollysharp. I'm sure you will be of great aid.

"Monte, formerly of the Black Company mercenary group. My unit was assigned Mage detail." She gives a lazy smile.

Tau pats up his chest with his right arm, his firm stance gives the impression of military training, but gives a more relaxed impression. He smiles at the burgermister.

Tau Bagamul, warrior of the Baga. Tau is glad to meet burgermister.

Saying this, he gives a small nod.

Jeral gives Monte a smile and remarks, I'm sure your magic skills will be of great use. Monte. and after Tau gives his introduction, Well met Tau. There no doubt you are a fine warrior.

Awaiting B1GxM1CH Carrick Harper.

I’m Carrick Harper. *holds out his hand to shake* I’m looking to put my sword and shield to good use here.
Jun 12, 2020 4:55 pm
Jeral shakes your hand, Well met Carrick Harper. You look to be a man of means.

After you all are settled back down in your seats, he begins, The situation I have here is no support, but expected to do everything. He gives a slight chuckle at that, I have found just hiring mercenary and such never seem to work out well. So I have always looked to more enterprising help. He briefly sways his hand over you all.

What it is. This city is slowly getting choked down. The trade road are becoming unsafe and this city thieves on trade. he reaches behind his desk to bring up a large sack. I don't have a lot to offer, but I also request don't you bring me anything either.

He dumps the contents of the sack across his desk, These are the finest elven ration you get. There enough to hold each of you a week. (Treat 7 days of elven ration as 1 pound encumbrance). I will give each of you my personal note and Alice at the General Store will give you discount on what you buy there.

There are stories of goblin and roving bandits taking out the caravans, I need a stop to it. There is only the road in and out of this city and both seem to be attacked now. I understand your at the inn right now. Consider your rooms paid for.

Evalynn looks at the rations for a moment, then back at the man. "Okay, so immediate red flags and questions. Are we talking protection? Guard duty at the gates? Seek and destroy hit job?"

She turns to the rest of the people in the room, attempting to get a read on everyone else's take on the situation.
Jun 12, 2020 7:17 pm
That sums up everything it seems. Turns to the others. I'm going to head to the tavern and have a drink. I’d like to get a plan of attack going so if anyone would like to join me, you are welcome. turns back to the burgermeister Jeral. Do you know if anyone is town is aiding these bandits?
Jun 12, 2020 7:26 pm
Tau rubs a finger ok his chin.

Tau is with warrior Evalynn. Need help, but what help. Extermination only?
Jun 12, 2020 7:46 pm
Jeral answers back some info, Solving the problems is going to require you to be outside the city and why I gave you 7 days of rations to help out that. I fathom there isn't any group in the city that wants the bandits to live. Their efforts hurt everyone.

Somewhere outside the city must be someone that is organizing these attacks. Seems like they are too common now. Only a few caravan and such make to the city and that seems random too.
Jun 12, 2020 8:06 pm
Evalynn rubs her chin. "Any common characteristics of shipments that are targeted? Weapons? Food?"
Jun 12, 2020 8:36 pm
Jeral gives a simple answer, Not really, but if shipment continue to be block this city will fall. We don't have many farms within the walls and those outside are not being abandoned.
Jun 12, 2020 10:35 pm
Where have most of the attacks been?
Jun 12, 2020 10:43 pm
Most happen really not far from the city in the forests along the road. That is both coming in the city and going out. Why I think someone is trying to weaken the city to take it out.
Jun 13, 2020 12:00 am
Tau snarls and speaks
Tau believes attacking innocent people is of coward lot. Smart to weaken first, low to do it to harm civilians
