The gates to the Brass City lies to the south. Past the gates between the two tall towers lies the residential district. There is nothing much to be said here. There are taverns and there are houses. Most people who live a middle class life live here. This is where Tomoe and her retainers find themselves in.

It is day time and there are people milling about. Guards stand watch near the bronze towers. The sunlight reflects off the metallic spire.

Well, Time says to her retainers, It's not home, but let's see if we cant adapt and find a place to stay and find work. Tomoe stands out amongst the people with her Easter style equipment and clothing. Her pure white hair and deep purple eyes, along with her elaborate and long sir coat, clearly marked her as from foreign parts. Her accent would be nativlcable too, but her firm grasp of the language has smoothed out most of her pronunciations and should be a problem.

She searches for a tavern that would have a room that could accommodate her and her companions.

A fairly cheap tavern called the Iron Oasis is nearby her location. It costs 1 GP per night.

What now?

After Tomoe would rent her room she would ask the tavern keeper, I am new in town. Is there someplace one may go to seek unusual jobs deemed to dangerous for common folk?

The inn keeper says, "A mercenary I see. Most mercenaries like yourself hang around taverns waiting to get hired. It is advisable to stay in the same tavern where other mercenaries are. Head on over to the Gaping Hole or The Wandering Bat and wait around to see if there are any jobs available. That's where the cheaper mercs hangout."

If you wish to work as a mercenary/adventurer, roll Persuasion or Intimidation.

A well dressed half elf with golden hair approaches you and says, "Are you a mercenary? I have a job. Have you heard of the bandit group known as Rat Liver? One of their bosses has come into possession of some gems. I would like you to go into that boss' hideout and retrieve those gems for me. How much are you asking?"

DM: Generally, level 3 mercenaries ask for 500 GP.

[Didnt you say I'm lvl 1? I should ask for less probobly]

DM: You are level one. I just told you the rates of level 3 mercenaries. So that you have a better idea of market price before you say a price.

[Got it] I would need more information and details before I set a price. I would like to know what danger I risk for coin. Tomoe answers.

The man nods and says, " That's fair. This particular boss is named Gibbly. He runs a drug ring in the slums. He's got some men since he is one of the bosses of Rat Liver. However, the men shouldn't give you too much trouble. Rat Liver is made up of young, rebellious teens who are too edgy for their own good. Normally these guys form lowly street gangs and Rat Liver started out the same way. However, the absolute top dog is a level headed individual and thus, the gang grew much larger than it had any right to. However, that doesn't change the fact that this bandit clan is nothing more than a glorified street gang. The guy alone shouldn't cause you much trouble unless you get surrounded. Gibbly himself should be easy enough to fool. He often gets high off his own drugs and lets his right hand do all the work. So how much are you asking?"

After a moments though, Tomoe answers I think 300 gold pieces should be appropriate.

The man nods and says, "300 Gold it is then. Bring me the gems and I shall give you the 300 gold. You may find me here once you are done." The man then leaves after giving you the location of the drug house.

DM: Head over to the location? Or later?

I will inquire about where I could purchase some healing potions first.

Healing potions can be purchased at 50 GP per potion (common) at the Diurnal District during the day.

Tomoe would purchase 2 of them and request her non combat retainers to remain at the inn.

DM: Just so you know, I will be handling most character changes like items, gold, abilities etc. So don't edit the character sheet without telling me or things like reducing/increasing things twice will happen. Things you should handle: Which equipment to equip/unequip and which magic equipment (when you get them) to attune to. Right now, you are not equipped with anything. Be sure to put on all armor and weapons you want to put on before combat starts.

She buys two healing potions and heads to the slums (I assume). She is in the general location that the man indicated. Right now, there's a bunch of homeless people gathered around and singing songs. There's a man in cheap and shoddy leather armor waiting around for someone. He's got a club strapped to his belt. His leather armor bears the Rat Liver symbol on its back. Other than that the man is not wearing a shirt underneath the armor and he's wearing beige cloth pants. A little further up is a cheap restaurant and then there's a large building. The large building is the target address.

Does it look like there are a lot of gang members in/around the building ?

Outside the building there is only that one gang member. Inside the building it is hard to say since it seems to have a lot of junkies inside. The restaurant seems to have a few Rat Liver in it though.

Tomoe knows she can brute force her way in. Subterfuge isn't her strong point though. She decides infiltration may be the best option. She approaches the lone guard. Excuse me, uh...is this were new members enter ?
