The lovely woman behind the table stood and moved around it, hugging Rose, before kissing both cheeks, in a show of affection. She smiled gently and pet her hair lightly brushing it back.<br/><br/>"Rose! It's good to see you but for now pleasantries will have to wait. But it's good to know I'll have someone I can trust going after my book." she said before turning back to the others. "I am obviously not Marcus, but I represent him. He is my husband to be and has authorized this. Because it's so close to me, he has left it in my hands. Nobody in my employ was able to catch who did it. All I know is they were last seen going north east toward the village of Soubar. My word has no authority outside the city, sadly so I cannot order soldiers into Soubar, but mercenaries can get it done. Quickly and quietly. I cannot find it by divination, as I am unable to perform those spells. My journal is also protected, it cannot be tracked that way. If you don't want the job fine, leave and do not return. When you return my book, bring it back here to the bartender. He will contact me and I will come to pay you. An incentive is this."<br/><br/>She whistled and a pair of men came up the stair case. They carried a large chest and set it on the table. Opening it they revealed it was full of gold.<br/><br/>"Two thousand for each of you. Up front. The rest, comes when you complete the job."
