However the druid would also see his jaw clench, knowing he couldn't afford to talk back against the only group that had shown up to help his master. And so the aged servant held his tongue, turning and taking his leave of the room without response.<br/><br/>Lord Blackcrest's brows furrow at the mention of silver, his eyes sweeping over their weapons, "Wait, you mean you don't already have silvered weapons? You're telling me you've undertaken a vampire hunting quest without the most basic preparations?" he asked incredulously. Lord Blackcrest was, after all, a former adventurer himself, so the idea that someone would undertake such a difficult and time sensitive quest when they didn't have the tools for the job was...well needless to say his gaze was growing quite skeptical, "Do you understand how long it would take to have such modifications made? My daughter could be drained dry ten times over by the time the smith was done!" he exclaimed. His mood only worsened with Valna questioned the reward listed on the flier, "The reward was a mere formality, did the guild master not tell you as much?" he asked. It was clear he had expected someone from the official Adventurer's Guild to handle this matter, seeing that he was such a prominent member, and no doubt the actual gold earned would pale in comparison to the value of establishing a connection with him. It would provide the kind of influence and favor that could sky rocket one's career...if they were actually a member of the Guild of course....<br/><br/>"In fact...who<em>are</em>you people? I didn't recognize you at all, but I assumed maybe you were just fresh recruits. Are you even from the Guild?" he asked, his frustration and suspicion growing, "I've been waiting for some skilled hunters to come rescue my daughter, but it seems instead I've been visited by beggars who've done nothing but demand silver and gold. Is this some kind of scam?" his skepticism had now turned to full on distrust due to Valna's prodding, and unfortunately Juro's more genuine questions had fallen on deaf ears.
