Nesy and Zeras, you two have mysteriously received a letter asking for your services in escorting some herb collectors for this unknown employer. Nothing else is known, not even the name of said employer, but somehow he knew your names. Alas, the work seems simple and the pay is good, so understandably there was very little reason to refuse. 
You two are physically competent, and make it to Silvercreek forest by early morning. The sun is just peaking out above the horizon and the morning dew feels fresh on your skin. You two could see why the forest was called Silvercreek as there are many silverbarked trees. Those who are familiar with flora would recognize that the red waxy leaves from these trees serve as a mild anti-toxin when mixed and processed correctly. 

You two would arrive around the same time. The wildlife are just starting to wake up as birds begin to chirp in the trees, but in terms of humanoids you two are the only ones in the forest currently. You could only suspect that you are a bit early, so may as well wait a bit.

*Nesy was a mutant, well not any other mutant wandering around in a forest like this. He was simply just trying to get to his quest because he was simply wanting to help people. He did not expect that there were nobody there but then. He noticed Zyra which was fairly obvious because... He did not know who Zyra was and what this induvidual is but he looked like a stranger from an other country.*

*He knew that he was pretty early but also, the only two people here were Nesy and Zyra. His partial heterochromic eyes scanned the forest for anything that was suspicous. Before he had arrived here, his skin seemingly mutated to be... More stronger or durrible. Nevertheless, he would then shift his attention to Zyra, he decided to start a conversation.*

"...Hello there buddy! I guess I am your companion it seems. Since, I got this mysterious letter from an other... Place I presume." *He scratched the back of his head, looking around for anything in particular while he was waiting for the other fellow to answer.*
Barbara
*Zeras when he first arrived on the scene was draped in a large pitch black cloak that obscured the shape of his body and the features on his face, a dark figure looking out into the forest. Once Nesy made efforts to introduce himself, Zeras took his cloak off, revealing a young dark elf man, green eyes and messy ash grey hair tied back in a short pony tail, a purple bandanna over the lower half of his face.* 

*Zeras's face at first was full of apprehension, he came here out of a mix of curiosity and fear, how did the author of the letter know his name? Who hires known mercenaries for herb picking? It was equally anxiety inducing as it was excitingly mysterious for Zeras. He pulled himself out of his own mind to give the stranger a fairly warm smile that didn't reach his eyes.* 

"Good morning friend, It seems we are partners in crime indeed, it seems a mysterious benefactor of fate has called us here, I fear it could be a trap or... Something else bigger than herb picking." 

*Zeras all of a sudden had a look of shock on his face as he held up his hands, it was as if he recoiled from something.* 

"Ah! Forgive my poor manners, my name is Zeras"

*The dark elf extended a hand outward*
Marjorie
*Nesy would gladly shake his hand.* "...Of course! Fate inertwined us to be here and co-operate. It is a pleasure to meet you, sir." *He said to the dark elf, before he would look towards him again to respond.* "My name is Nesy Celvius, I am an adventurer and I am here to simply help people in need, cause that's what I specilise in."

*Nesy would exclaim, before he scratched the back of his head again.* "....So, I guess we're waiting for them to arrive, eh? Well, while we are waiting uh... Let's get to know eachother... Perhaps." *He exclaimed, nodding towards his own statement. "...Something bigger then herb picking, that might make sense to be honest. Dangers lurking within our territory." *He shivered at the thought, it was very uncomfterable to say at least.*
Barbara
*Zeras gave a grin that did reach his eyes this time, while the mask hid his mouth, the elation was easy to read if you simply gave eye contact*

"Specialising in helping people in need huh? Bless you Nesy, and well met, that is something few try and even fewer accomplish these days, despite the dire need of those with a good heart, I hope this ordeal betters us both." 

*Zeras's voice was very deep,warm and hearty despite his youthful looking appearance, it had gravitas and pull, like it came from the belly of someone much bigger.*

"Yes well, I hope whoever arrives, it will answer some of our questions."
William
*At this point those of you with keen sense would hear some scurrying among the leaves. Looking up you would see a squirrel climbing down a tree. What catches your attention is the amount of intelligence in the squirrel's eyes as it makes its way toward you all. You then all see it slowly transform into a into a tall yet slim humanoid figure wearing dark robes and a hood that completely covers his face.*

"Glad you two could make it. Seeing that you are here, I can only assume you have accepted the job. The boss who had sent you the letters apologizes for not meeting you in person. He is a very busy man, and hopes that I, one of his most reliable employees, can manage you all" 

*The man then pulls out two sheet of parchment, handing one to each of you. Each one of the parchments is a map of the forest with three locations marked in blue and a nearby location marked in red.*

"This is a rather simple job. You two, Sir Zeras and Sir Nesy will head over to the location marked in red. There you shall meet the herb gatherer you will be escorting. Goes without say, but if the herb gatherer were to die, you two won't receive your pay. I will also be observing you all from the distance to ensure no foul play. The locations marked in blue are where you shall be escorting the herb gatherer to collect the required herbs. Any questions?"
Barbara
*Zeras had a million meaningless questions, of course he wouldn't ask them, the job was simple enough, and while he had a curious tick, he was never one to pry. He studies the Map momentarily, "Clear enough he thought", before putting the map in the pocket of his cloak.* 

"Um, uh, thank you stranger, we will see too it that this job is done swiftly and well."

*Zeras turned to Nesy a sheepish and confused look on his face shaking his head in some sort of wordless call for help, before turning back to what was once a squirrel and giving a reassuring smile and nod.* 

"Forgive my eagerness but I actually do have a question, where will we return to once the job is done, I am not one too fond of being conned out of my time."
Marjorie
*Nesy would then be suprised by the humanoid. He decided to greet him.* "...Hello there buddy! How are you doing? Well, you are certianly a great being because I am Nesy! You are absoloutly correct." *He bowed to the slim humanoid before he scratched his head in confusion of his apperence.*

"....Alright." *Nesy would then analyze the paper and saw some very interesting marks on the paper.* "...Well, I have a question. Are those blue marks or red marks telling anything? Do you mind explaining what they actually do?" *Nesy exclaimed, because he was confused.*

*He would then look towards Zeras. He was, absoloutly powerless at this point. He had the same feeling like he did. Oh my, just as the quest was getting fun. It is always... Killing monsters yes.*
William
*The robed figure would snicker under his breath at Zeras' questions*

"You are the second person to have ever asked me about the validity of these tasks. Though I am rather envious at your naïve line of thinking. Even if I were to tell you the location, what is to prevent me from conning you still? It's like this with any sort of exchange of services and goods, both parties have to trust the other to do their part. But if it provides you any comfort, you may reconvene at the location marked in red on your maps. Any other meaningful questions you wish to ask?"

*He would then turn to Nesy and you could hear a bit of disappointment in his voice* 

"Unfortunate to have employees who don't listen to their employers, no? How envious I am of your lax nature, but just like the boss is kind, I shall carry on his virtue and repeat what I had just said. The locations marked in blue are where you shall be escorting the herb collector, as those are the locations I've scouted out to have the herbs we are searching for. The location marked in red is where said herb collector is. Are things more clear now Sir Nesy, or must I repeat it once more?"
Barbara
*Zeras would laugh at the sass of the man, a genuine belly laugh, more full of mischief then disbelief* 

"Forgive me then, Curiosity has driven me more than monetary gain to this place, we will see to it that no herb is left unpicked, and that your co-worker is taken good care of, whatever the danger. You have my word at least, and you will have all my effort at most" 

*Zeras took the map from his pocket and gave it one quick glance, orientating himself the direction of the red mark, before looking at his map again, checking his surroundings a final time, and then putting it away.* 

"We should stick together Nessy, I know not a forest in all of Ramul Ta combined I would walk on my lonesome voluntarily."
Marjorie
"....Nope! All the things you have said is literally clear as water! I am going to the red location first!" *He decided to nodd towards him and he was ready to start the mission at any moment. He would then turn towards him.* "Well, we can always stick together." *He gave him a thumbsup and he started to walk towards the red spot.*

"...Come with!" *He would beckon him to come, with a smile on his face.*

*He then would wave the other guy of too.* "We wont disappoint you!"
Barbara
*Zeras set off through the crimson foliage, talking as he trudged onward, brushing branches out the way and wiping stray hairs that flopped before his eyes. Zeras looked skyward and gave a small prayer to any god that would hear him, asking for protection above all else.* 

"I must admit, I have never witnessed a squirrel become a man before, I won't soon forget the image, I still have much to see of the world obviously."

*His tone indicated lingering confusion and shock.*
William
*As you two walk away from the robed individual, he would walks towards the underbrush and transform into a rabbit as he darts between the shrubbery of the forest, leaving you two to carry out the job.*

*As you two travelled deeper into the forest, you would notice it getting thicker the deeper you all head into it. You all would also start to notice a lack of plant growth in the area. The few plants and that do grow look perverted and twisted. The soils gives off a purplish tint and you can't help but feel slightly corrupted. However, you do not see any threats nearby for now, but the land gives off an aura of death. Up ahead you would see a young man seemingly at the location marked in red by your maps. He would notice you two approaching but his face would seemingly look displeased. He would get up and walk over, adjusting his glasses*

"So you are the two that are going to escort me huh? I was hoping for more capable looking individuals, but I suppose I can't do anything about it now. Name's Andrew Morrison. I trust you two will protect me with your lives, lest someone of my intelligence come to any harm"
Barbara
*The further they waded into the wilds and the more the land became a twisted reflection of what it was but a few steps ago, the more visibly unsettled Zeras had become. He fidgeted with his hands between his cloak, wringing his fingers out and clicking them in and out of place. Shaking his head as they came to the stranger.* 

"Silence small man, your boss best of given us good reason to come to these god forsaken lands, I know what lies in this place, I will protect you to the best of my abilities, that is all, guide the way." 

*Zeras gives a big sigh, putting his hands on hips, before straightening out and composing himself.*
