<strong>Day 1 - Afternoon</strong><br/><br/>The blacksmith Thorvald gave the weapons Nicky chose a brief glance before coming up with the calculations in his head. He took a piece of dirty cloth nearby and wipe his sweaty palms off and walked to the counter where Nicky placed the weapons of her choice.<strong>"That's 1 Silver and 80 copper miss"</strong>, Thorvald announced before taking the coins from Nicky's hand and placing it all in his apron pocket,<strong>"well then thank you young miss and good luck on your adventuring career"</strong>, with that Thorvald return to his smithing job and Aria led Nicky back onto the street leading to the Adventurer's guildhouse.<br/><br/>On their way, Nicky suddenly whispered something in Aria's ears that caught her by complete surprise,<strong>"what?!"</strong>, that was her reaction to Nicky as she quickly turn to the blonde with a surprised look on her face. Moments later however, Aria laughed out when the realization of the question posed to her starts to sink in,<strong>"well, not really, I've worn much more revealing and outrageous outfit before I wore any adventuring suits"</strong>, the red hair explained.<strong>"After awhile you get used to it"</strong>, she chuckled some more.<br/><br/>A few familiar figures to Aria did walked pass the red haired adventuress and Nicky as they walked past the marketplace on their way to the adventurer's guild, her eyes followed them. Some of them, like the old woman who tends to the fish stall at the marketplace greeted the red haired adventurer and others simply ignored them altogether and it won't take a psychic to guest that those who ignored Aria are the ones who might have had an unfortunate run in with the red-haired girl. The warrioress has quite a reputation in Riverrun as it seems, many are the people and peasants whom Aria had helped in the past, tavern wenches molested by burly and drunk men, stall keepers harassed by criminal syndicates and grateful citizens who chafed under corrupt officials are among those who greeted Aria with respect and she in turn returns the gesture.<strong>"It is both a difficult and rewarding profession, becoming an adventurer I mean"</strong>, she smirked at the thought,<strong>"I've helped many of these people who are weak and unable to defend themselves looking for a champion to defend them, it's not all about the fortune too you know"</strong>, she made a brief glance to Nicky at the back.<br/><br/>The adventurer's guild wasn't far from the clothing store, a turn in the middle junction and they would arrive at their destination. While some of the male inhabitants of Riverrun would sometimes casts a lewd glance at Nicky, most would simply ignore her. In fact many of the women in town wore relatively revealing clothes themselves and even the men would mostly go topless and sweaty, letting Nicky know how hot the temperature can be at certain times of the year in Eshalon.<br/><br/>As they passed into one of the narrow corridor between the two blocks of buildings, Aria stopped in front of a building. On the outside there's nothing spectacular about it and it appears just like any other structures in the town.<strong>"Here's the adventurer's guild"</strong>, she points her finger at a large wooden signboard hanging above the main entrance and just like before, Nicky would be able to read it as 'Adventurer's Guild',<strong>"this is where I was trained for 5 years since I was 17, believe me when I say, that you'll find no better teacher than Agarth"</strong>. Aria pushed the wooden door open and entered<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d25/Deathbringer6679/15044-4-1201824506.jpg?t=1331082136)</div><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Adventurer's Guild</strong></span></span></div><br/>Inside is a small hall complete with its decorations of wooden racks, vases, armor stand and portraits. The inside of the building is a bit dark except for the small windows at the side of the wall and a few candle stands. A woman in purple colored garb greeted Aria as soon as she entered, it might appear at first that this woman is the receptionist for the adventurer's guild, however, upon closer inspection she was certainly more than that. The<strong>woman in the purple garb</strong>(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d25/Deathbringer6679/Fantasy-Women-21804.jpg) wore a rather revealing outfit herself but it was made from a silky material, not at all like the plain looking peasant clothing that Nicky currently wore. Her distinguishable hair color of purple is adorn with ornate gold circlet and much of her body was adorn with such obvious jewelries. The small revealing purple vest covers the intimate parts of her body and the purple colored silk scarf flows along her smooth silky white skin, in a way she was physically more like Nicky than she was like the tanned and toned Aria. What gave this lady up as no mere receptionist was the fact that she held onto a very ornate looking staff. As they walks in, Nicky could hear a faint noise of metal clanking coming from downstairs perhaps the basement area of the building.<strong>"Hello again Aria"</strong>, she greeted the red-haired adventurer with a big smile across her face,<strong>"you want to see Agarth don't you? I'll go get him now</strong>. She immediately left her desk and then went up the stairs located just behind the reception desk.
