Cass'andra said, pivoting back to business as she waited for Xanavel to mule things over, "I've assembled another set of jobs for you all to tackle" she explained, pulling a stack of fliers from her drawer and spreading them out along her desk, "I figured in lieu of our recent run of good fortune we can be a bit more ambitious in the jobs we tackle" she added, proceeding to go over the details of each quest.<br/><br/><br/><hr/>Choose your quest:<br/><br/>1. Body Retrieval - 700 gold: A follower of Oremis wants help recovering her husband's corpse from an insidious cult.<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spout Lore 7-9</div><div class="spoiler_body">Oremis (https://i.imgur.com/y3cKjcX.jpg) is the goddess of hunting and feasting. Her followers in turn tend to be capable hunters themselves, meaning this cult is probably quite sizable and dangerous if she is requesting a full party to help to fight them</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spout Lore 10+</div><div class="spoiler_body">Despite worshipping one of the divine children, there is a stigma around followers of Oremis. As the Goddess of hunting and feasting Oremis teaches that every hunt should be made meaningful, that every death should be given purpose by extending the life of another. This means that hunters should always eat what they kill, and never hunt just for sport. Some followers extend this not just to hunted animals, but to people as well, meaning they are sworn to consume at least some portion of flesh from anyone they kill. Obviously this cannibalistic practice is looked down upon by most, and often sees followers of Oremis being ostracized by more "civilized" people. As such it is unlikely that members of the Adventurers Guild will answer this person's request, giving you more power in negotiating a better deal (+1 to parley to demand a higher reward)</div></div><br/><br/>2. Get the Flock out of Goblin Town - 900 gold: Woman from Goblin Town seeks help routing out members of the Flock trying to operate within the city.<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spout Lore 7-9</div><div class="spoiler_body">Goblin Town is a small city to the south of Wyrmfell. As the name would suggest it is mostly populated by goblins. While officially part of Lyse territory, their proximity to the Orisian Empire, and goblins favorable relations with orcs, makes it a bit of a political grey area, so it enjoys more independence than most cities in the Queendom. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spout Lore 10+</div><div class="spoiler_body">The Flock are a notorious crime syndicate that operates within the underbelly of Lyse. Most known for their drug trade, they also deal in other alchemical contraband, and are rumored to offer hitman services for the right price. You just so happen to know a guy in the Flock, or perhaps you know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy in the Flock. Either way you know the various code phrases and jargon that would mark you as a trusted customer, giving you a good starting disposition for interacting with them.</div></div><br/><br/>3. Past Due - 1400 gold: A wizard by the name of Phineas G. Gaster needs help recovering and returning a book he borrowed from the Grand Library.<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spout Lore 7-9</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Phineas G. Gaster (https://i.imgur.com/v6stqns.jpg) is a wizard of some renown. A follower of Twi, goddess of stars and knowledge, he is most well known for the invention of a new type of alchemic firearm called Flasklocks (https://i.imgur.com/kScWGC4.jpg). These guns allow non-spellcasters to fire spell-like effects using alchemic tinctures as ammunition.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spout Lore 10+</div><div class="spoiler_body">The Grand Library isn't just a normal library that exists on the physical plane, but is instead the domain of The Librarian (https://i.imgur.com/WsdnOAn.jpg) an eldritch being who collects and catalogs knowledge from across the realms. The Grand Library is open to outsiders, if they have the means to reach it (traveling to different planes is not easy feat), and so long as they follow the rules The Librarian will allow them to peruse her stores of knowledge, and even check out books if they are in good standing (it helps if they bring some form of new writing to contribute to the collection). However breaking the rules can see one harshly punished, especially so if they steal from the Library or fail to return their books in time. </div></div><br/><br/>4. A Traveler's Escort - 300 gold: A follower of Ardora requests help navigating through a particularly treacherous mountain.<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spout Lore 7-9</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ardora (https://i.imgur.com/8YddIKP.jpg) is the Goddess of fire, travel, and discovery. Appropriately her followers are called Travelers (https://i.imgur.com/J5mRHOA.jpg), and show their devotion to their Goddess through a lifelong pilgrimage, seeking to explore every corner of the world.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spout Lore 10+</div><div class="spoiler_body">Due to their constant transit, Travelers have limited options as far as jobs go, and thus are rarely wealthy. They mostly get by on the generosity of strangers they meet in their travels, and it is believed that those who help a Traveler in need will be rewarded by blessings from Ardora herself. So while the gold reward may be low, you have reason to believe the quest is actually among the most valuable here. </div></div>
