(The request that involves around the bay and play in the ocean! I love it! c:)

Blinking once, Reverie turns to look at the others for confirmation. "I think it is great since we have to stay in an inn until tomorrow."

Trimyrai: (to the party) "I have no problems with taking another job. but i would like to look around the city as soon as we have a free moment."

"Me too. I need some fresh air, some exploration! I have no problems taking another job, but I need to breathe."

Noam: "Good luck with your sight seeing and job hunting. Please close the door on your way out." Goes back to his document signing.

(OOC: Reminder that, as far as Noam knows, you are five strangers wandering in from the street.

You haven't shown him the document saying you do freelance work for the WG (post 655, first document), or given him your names and ask if Bommie sent a message about you (post 638). )

Reverie looks at Noam for a moment before she shows him her document that has her family’s surname. ”My name is Reverie Forestgleam and I am wondering if Bommie sent you any message about us, good sir. We just finished our request a day ago, and that is why we would like to have some air, to refresh our mind from the fight.”

Trimyrai: (to Noam) "Oh yes, where are my manners, I am Trimyrai Peucis, archer extraordinaire, and amateur adventurer."

Trimyrai gets out any paperwork he might have that confirms he freelances for the guild.  

"Jack Black. Nice to meet ye. Here's a paper..." Jack pulls out his paper document thing. (I totally forgot. I had no idea what to do.)

Noam looks at the parchment Bommie handed to you, then digs out a small paper (suitable for carrier bird), then asks for your names two more times, then looks over the documents again.

A sigh. "We don't have any specific task requests open right now, but you all said you wanted time to look around Greensville anyways... There is a general request for all adventurers. People have been missing near the coastline, from boats and from farms. Only a person here or there, but the reports have been adding up. In your wanderings, if you find these people, bring them back. If you discover what has been taking them, or killing them, report that information. If it is too powerful for a young group such as yourselves, the guilds and guards can organize if we know what we are up against... The reward depends on the quality of the information or the quantity of rescues.

"That's the best I can do right now. You can check back in a few days if any new requests have been posted."

"I think I have heard that news from the tavern," Reverie mumbles as she listens to Noam, "people went missing at the ocean, their remaining came back with the boats, and yet I have not heard people went missing from farms." A hum escapes from her lips, deciding if they should take this request. Then she turns to look back at her companions. "Sounds interesting for us. His offer sounds great also."

Trimyrai: (to the party) "The job seems important, we should get on it after we finished exploring the city and doing any errands or relaxation anyone might want to take today."

Froskan nods his agreement.

...deciding if they should take this request.

 (You don't have to accept a request. If you discover anything which you thinks applies, you can go back to Noam and report it. Or the city guard or another adventuring guild, although they will give a smaller reward to strangers that haven't earned their trust.

If you are getting confused about the geography, on the Campaign page I have linked the forum posts that have the hand-drawn maps that you have discovered so far.)

Greensville is a town, but like most places on the frontier, is underpopulated. The availability of land and fresh opportunities is offset by the dangers and difficulties in getting here. There is a reasonable amount of commerce from ships resting in the bay to the west. Ships traveling around the northern edge of the continent pass by here, but most continue on to the Harbor of Nunkreet. The city guards eye your group, as folks in full armor and all their weapons are not usually sightseeing, but they don't cause any trouble.

(Your group is free to go where you will. It is about an hour after noon. If you are wandering, pick a direction or a destination, like the bay leading to the ocean, for example. If you want to go shopping for a particular armor/weapon/equipment, you should be able to find an appropriate shop. Theren's "urchin" background will let you navigate around this unfamiliar town, and Froskan's "sage" background helps if you want to research any odd bit of knowledge.)

"Sounds fun, but first we have to get ye and theren a ranged weapon. What happens if ye run out of magic?"

Trimyrai: (to the party) "Perhaps they might have some interesting equipment and items for adventurers at this weapon store."

Your group finds a shop that sells arms and armor. The entrance sign includes the holy symbol for Gond, the "Lord of Smiths and Woodworkers". (Before Jupiter left your party a dozen days ago, he mentioned Gond and the dwarven god Moradin as the deities for crafters.) You are greeted by a young dwarf. There are store displays of many of the weapons that you can find in the PHB, and samples of the materials for various armors, which would have to be crafted and assembled to order. You also find samples of non-weapon items, made of cloth, leather, bone, etc.

You are the only customers in the store. The prices are 25% higher than you expected. If Reverie wanted to buy a longbow, it would take most of her current savings, and a hand crossbow is more than Theren can afford.

Reverie blinks her blue-green eyes as she realizes the prices were much higher than she thought. She would like to have a longbow but she also wants to save some coins for the future references. She starts to think if the previous city would be much cheaper than here. (Oh dear. Is the Nunkreet would be much cheaper than Greensville?)

Trimyrai looks around the store for anything of interest

(incase i need to roll something)

Perception: 5

Investigation: 19

 (OOC: Nunkreet will be regular price... You can get a better price/discount here, but it will involve getting supplies that are too dangerous for this craftworker.)

Trim doesn't notice anything too unusual. (No magic items. No secret Orcus idols.) He does notice that this dwarf has a few incomplete items on his worktable in the back, and his supplies of wood and metal seem to be almost empty.

(OOC: Happy holidays!

I notice that Trim has a bunch of weapons in his inventory. Assuming that he is sticking with his magic longbow, maybe Reverie wants to buy his heavy crossbow + quiver of bolts? If your group does not feel like doing fights/errands for this weapon smith, he'd be willing to purchase Trim's light crossbow and non-magical longbow, which should make it easier for Theren to buy the hand crossbow.

I'm not sure which direction your group wants to go from here: other stores, libraries, a particular chapel, western docks, southern slums, northern gentrified area, ocean fishing, ?? If you were looking for something in particular, or wanted to find out about the history of some place, please suggest.)
