"Alright, please follow us." The guards were more polite towards Petra once the mayor's bastard son was gone. Escorting her, Tinde and Elrich to the guard barracks, they brought the three to stand before a fairly tall looking older man with scars all over his face. "These are the ones that arrived at the gates with the wagons a short while ago." The guard walking ahead informed him, and the man nod his head in reply. "I'm neither blind nor deaf."<br/><br/>Walking up towards Petra and her companions the old man paused for a moment. "I have come to understand that you had taken up the job to hunt the orcs. I take it that you were successful and brought a few others along with you as well. Not bad for a day's job." He smirked and then nod. "Give me a short summary of what you went through and we'll discuss payment." He had a smirk across his face as he listened to her there, but then narrowing his eyes at Elrich.<br/><br/>"Ahh. The creepy fellow I wanted to arrest earlier. What are<em>you</em>doing back here? We already have an alchemist in this city and we don't need -two- people trying to blow the whole town into air."
