*You four would previously see a poster asking for help in a nearby village, and all meet up at the same crossroads, which all lead to a village. An old man, wearing black robes and cap, was waiting outside. Assuming you all approached him, he would speak*

"Oh, thank the gods you are here! May the gods bless you with eternal happiness! We have a predicament here. Two children from our village have gone missing."

*He would pull out two scrolls, each with a detailed charcoal drawing on them. The first was a brown-haired boy, possibly around 16. The other was a blond girl, who looked around a year younger*

"These two have gone missing around a week ago. We fear that they were captured by vile creatures. Scouts that were sent showed that they are heading north. Please, bring them back."

*Charlotte walked along the dirt road, approaching the cross roads where an old man stood, though the elf wouldn't notice them. Looking around and seeing a village in the close distance, she would let out a sigh. "Im finally here, i had to walk way too long to get here, my feet are killing me!". She would continue before noticing an old robed man, at the cross roads. She'd rest her hand on her sheathed sword and approach the elder, calling out to him*
"Hello? Old man, are you the one who sent out a request for help?"
*The elf would listen to his story and would nod in understanding. To have their kidnapping be a full week in advance would mean the journey ahead would be long. There wasn't even a guarantee the two villagers were still alive, never the less, Charlotte knew she had to try. Charlotte would look around, searching for anymore figures in the distance.*
"I had heard two or three others would be joining me on this quest as well. This would be my first quest... So i'd hope that the other seemed to know what to do at least some what."

*Menakpa walled along the dirt road, a spear carried over the shoulder and a piece of jerky in the other. She drew the snack to her maw and took a large bite ripping it half using her tusk. Just within her sights was a knight and a robed individual. She marched forward and stared at the two. 

As with everyone Menkpa was harsh and wasn't too trusting of individuals she ha never met before.* "You the one crying for help old man? Or is it the knight that has, difficulties?" *She snarled as she got close and kept a good distance of 20 feet between the pair.

The call for aide mentioned villagers who were lost, taken, or whatever the hell happened. To the Mogash this was a job. A job meant money and money meant another day to live.* "I could care less for others who can't handle themselves or their kin. But I need gold. You got payment Old man?"

She was harsh and rightly justified as she had originated from Amongko where warring was a common occurence. Menakpa sized up the two and deemed them as no threat so she stepped forward even closer.*
William
*Juna walked along the dirt road, her Jackal companion staying a small distance in front of her. She had made her way to the crossroads as the poster had instructed. Heroism wasn't necessarily in Juna's nature, but seeing the poster Juna figured she could help out with the cause.*
"I think this is the place, Jace..." *Juna had said to her Jackal after spotting the village. 

 She quickened her pace until she eventually found the old man as expected, though she was mostly relieved that she hadn't gotten lost on the way. Jace would rush ahead and, noticing the two others joining the quest, would let out a bark of mock authority. At the sight of Charlotte, however, his tail would wag for a short moment before he resumed his normal investigatory routine. Juna waved to the others shyly and walked up to the old man to hear what he had to say about the missing children. 
 The task sounded difficult, but taking a brief glance at the others, she figured they could overcome it as long as they were able to work well together. However, at the response Menapka, Juna found herself taking a couple cautious steps back.*

*Charles S Leonhart. A man behind a mask.. Literally. As his white coat courser trotted it's way down one of the paths at this crossroad, he had noticed the junction of four people and assumed this was likely what he was looking for. As the horse came to a stop, a rough 20 feet away, the young man threw one leg over and hopped off the saddle, choosing instead to lead his horse with him as he got close enough to listen in on the conversation. He was aware that someone had gone missing, and at a glance in the distance as he got close, memorized the charcoal drawings of the two children who were gone.*
``"Excuse me Sir. You're the one commissioning us for the search and rescue of these two children.. Yes?"`` *His voice was, although muffled due to the steel covering his face, stern and to-the-point. The vampire wore a gambeson with forearms guards, and strips of hardened metal strapped tightly around his knees. Leather buckle boots dug into the dirt of the path, and a blackened cloak hooded and all swayed behind him ever so gently. At his side, a typical looking longsword, and on his back a kite shield.*
Justin
*Charlotte watched as the Mogash approached the old man, asking him about the quest and payment. Charlotte's first impression of the Mogash was a stereotypical ogress, big, rude, and simple. Charlotte would answer of of the questions for the elder, thinking that he might be too intimidated to say anything*
"He is indeed the one who asked for help. As for payment, why would he send out a request if he has nothing in return?"
*Charlotte would get side tracked by Jace's bark, she'd look at him with a confused look before realizing who it was. She'd walk over, kneeling down and patting his head. Looking up, she'd also notice Juna not far behind, waving to her with a smile*
"Its good to see you two again, so soon too."
*Charlotte would stand up as a third person appeared. He spoke, though muffled, too the Elder. Charlotte was happy that the team had finally gotten together. She could finally officially start her quest! She would let out a girlish giggle of excitement before quieting herself in embarrassment* 
"Ahem, so you'll all be my team mates, its nice to meet you all, my name is Charlotte Caranaro."
Robert
^*The menakpa gave a heafty huff. She eyed each and every being before her.* "So a girl wh can barely lift a proper sword, a kitten, and..." *She paused and looked at the knight and his mount. She gave him a smile and finished her statement.* "...You."

"We are to be companions? I pray to Gronnesh that you all are capable warriors. Til then, I hold neither quarry or loyalty to you all! Prove your worth before you even consider me ally." *Menakpa bit down on the last of her jerky and remained silent eating away.

She seemed disgusted with these smaller veings and thought only of war and honor. She placed her spear back in the large quiver like pack on her back and crossed her arms ready tohear the rest of the group speack their piece.*^

"Actually I'm a-"
*Juna considered correcting Menakpa, but thought better of it. Her ears lowered on her head in dissatisfaction. So these were the people she would have to journey with? It being her first quest, Juna would have hoped for companions that were a little more pleasant. At least Charlotte was a nice person and Juna was still unsure of what to think of the Knight approaching with his horse. Menakpa, however, seemed to tolerate nothing other than powerful allies and Juna wasn't completely sure if she could meet the high expectations. 

 Jace would lift his head up and lick Charlotte's hand as she pets him, thinking that it might have had more food on it. The jackal would then move on to the knight that had showed up and began sniffing him as Jace had done the rest. Juna kept her gaze on the group, not completely trusting them around her pet after what had happened before. The Canifor kept quiet, listening to the others as they spoke.*

*So, it was time to make friends with his new party, eh? Charles studied Charlotte, Juna, and Menakpa. His eyes met with the ogress, who seemed to let off a smile upon her indication of him. Then he stared over to Charlotte and decided to at least let the party know who he was.* 
``"You can call me Leo. If we're going to be in this together, I'd like to know eachother's weaknesses. It will help in the long run. And know this.. I will not die for you, so do not die for me."`` *Once more his voice was stern and cold. He didn't want to become friends with the people here, instead he just wanted to get the quest done, get paid and hopefully the side benefit of saving a couple of kids would make him feel that much better at the end of the day. Though, there was one thing he wanted to test.. He approached Manakpa and held his hand out as to shake.* ``"If you only offer loyalty to capable warriors, then I would hope you yourself are one. Would I be right to assume that?"``
