"Nice! Have good leaders is always a plus I'd imagine. And getting to stab and or inflict injury upon bandits is always a good time. Back in the swamp, I was kind of a guard. We don't do guards like most places, we act more like hunters mixed with alchemists." She explained. "I got into some trouble because I talked back a lot, so I came here where people don't care as much. And my skills are more appreciated. Haven't met any of the elves yet, are they as stuck up as I've heard?" She asked. "I ain't met many elves, but I heard less than stellar things. That, and they're awful at holding their liquor." He glanced at the very drunk Roxana at another table.
Aria continued, explaining that she got hit with some sort magic spell that almost caused her to lose her arm and broke several of her ribs. "Wow. I've not had too many experiences with that kind of magic. To be honest I don't know much about magic. What little I do is Valan trying to explain pyromancy to me, but it just doesn't make any sense to me." She shrugged. "I stick to potions and knives. They make sense to me."
Then the ladies were a little wary of having her help them because she was probably too drunk to do so. "Drunk? After one drink? Do I look like an Elf to you?" She snickered. "Maybe if I had three or four more of these, I'd be drunk. I'm fine. Really, but if you'd rather go for the healers, I understand. I might need it for some really special potion later on. Just so you know, the offer still stands if you change your mind. Thankfully, I've got some spare potions from my previous mission so I don't have to worry about brewing more." So far the ladies seemed friendly, if wary. It didn't bother her much, she had that effect on people.
Contract Day!
The pair burst into the area where other members of the Legion were looking for contracts. The pyromancer and huntress looked at he board. One was a glorified delivery, the other two were far more interesting. One had some sort of comet strike a farm, and it was magic if what they read was anything to go by. The other was some sort of rampaging beast which seemed to have a myriad descriptions regarding it's appearance, with the only consistent detail being a black cross on it's head. Just as Valan went to sign up for the second one, Aayla was already down for the third one.
"Going to help hunt a beast?" He asked.
"Yup! Beastie hunting is easy. First part is figuring out what exactly it is. Second part is getting the proper bait and lacing it with the appropriate ingredients to make it fall asleep. Then you kill it. Plus, I'm sure I can snag a few more beastie parts for more potions." She explained. "What are you going for? The magic rock that fell from the sky?"
"Yes." He nodded. "I figure they might need some firepower to deal with whatever the star rock is doing. Plus I imagine the Legion might pay for a few samples of it."
