Ah, that explained it.  So the man was no mere mapmaker, but instead someone looking to host a Game...  And from the sounds of things, this might be a golden opportunity to catch the eye of someone with decent connections in the adventuring business.  Obviously, it wasn't without some risk...  But the potential rewards seemed more than worth it.  Nodding, she rolled the scroll back up, then stood up and bowed politely to the man behind the desk.<br/><br/>"Thank you,"  She stated, as she took her bow.  "This job seems to be just what I was looking for.  I'll go collect my gear, and then take this scroll down to the docks and meet with the client.  Good day."<br/><br/>And with that, she left the room.  Collecting her gear was simple enough.  Her Cloak of Charisma and Anklet of Translocation she had worn to the meeting, and that healing wand had been safely tucked away in her pocket the whole time.  Other than that, the rest of her gear consisted of a suit of Full Plate and a massive Tower Shield, and both of those had an interesting enhancement on them.  All she had to do was duck out of sight in some side alley or shop, take a few seconds to speak the command words...<br/><br/>...And first her armor, then her shield, would both appear on her body, Called directly to her by the enchantments woven into them.  It was a rather convenient property, overall.<br/><br/>From there, she went on to the docks.
