Jader.  The bustling Orlesian city near her homeland.  It was a very nice city for those who lived there, or had money.  But for those like herself who didn’t live there, and were stuck there without money.  It was not all that great.  Since the merchant she had worked for had died.  She was out of a job and had run out of money paying for last night at the shithole inn she had been staying in.  It was hell for the dirt poor who only had the cloths on their back, their blades, and what little they had been able to carry in their two hands.<br/><br/>That is why, when she saw the bounty board mission presented by a Duke Averan Leland, she had torn the poster off the board and immediately started hunting for the Golden Goblet.  It took a while, and having to ask multiple people where it was before she found the building.  With a sigh Aureslia moved forward into the Inn.  Knowing she wouldn’t look like much with two plain, and slightly old looking blades on her hips.  Low quality soft leather armor that didn’t really offer much protection.  She hoped she would not be passed over for this expedition just because she didn’t really look like a professional.<br/><br/>Not that she needed any of that.  If they didn’t take her, then that would be their lose.  She was more agile than anyone she had practiced against.  She could dodge what they all blocked.<br/><br/>As soon as she was in the building, Aure looked around to study the patrons in the bar section of the inn… but didn’t see anyone she would identify as a guard to nobility.  But the flyer had stated to look for and inquire about the job.  So she had walked over to the bartender with the job offer and was soon pointed to a room upstairs.  Of course, as soon as she got to the room she was met outside by some of the noble’s chevaliers.  Would they even let her pass them?  She hoped so because she really needed the chance for some of the treasure that was offered them.<br/><br/>There were easier jobs, but none that offered the likely payday that this was.  And if this Duke was pulling in an expedition of experienced people, it would likely be safer.  With that thought in her mind, and a light sigh, Aureslia approached the guards and held up the bounty board offer.  Hoping her dishelved look and worn armor that obviously marked her as poor didn’t make them want to turn her away.<span style="color: green">“Hey… I am here for this expedition.
