Selise, be a dear and bring our guests the last of our ale. Take a seat at the table all, there are enough chairs for everybody.”<br/><br/>Ares motioned Vara a spot on the table where she could drop her produce.<br/><br/>“Thank you, dear. Feel free to stay for dinner tonight, well, unless…” Ares was lost in thought for a second while he waited for everyone to take a seat.<br/><br/>“Mm,” he grumbled, “I’m guessing this isn’t a social call to see how we’re doing. All of you probably saw that notice downtown? It’s just about the most exciting thing that’s been happening here lately.”<br/><br/>The old man watched every person in the eyes, gauging their reaction.<br/><br/>“Although I’m not particularly inclined to hunt for those villains in those damned mountains, I have been getting rather bored lately,” the war cleric grumbled. “Then there is also the matter of the reward, which is quite a hefty sum. How would all of you feel we go after those naughty scoundrels and teach them a lesson? I wouldn’t mind the action and we can split the money afterwards.”<br/><br/><em>I really ought to buy a donkey and a cart at the Devereux’s place. There is no way we’re going to drag all of that stuff back with us on our backs. Maybe Lianna wouldn’t mind tagging along with us as well. There’s something special about that girl and I have a feeling that she’d be a fine addition to this group. Heck, perhaps her old man wouldn’t mind borrowing their donkey and cart as well.</em><br/><br/>“Between the five of us we have me and Leofwine who can take a hit or two, my daughter and myself who can keep us all alive, and everyone else to really antagonize those bastards and give them hell. So what do you all say?”<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Ares' house and layout</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0b/Caitlin001Areshouse_floorplan.png) <br/><br/>(https://static.turbosquid.com/Preview/2014/07/09__15_04_07/Medieval_house_1.jpg0317c91e-9bb0-4672-8c15-0d2be69bff52Original.jpg)<br/><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/olyThZ6.jpg)</div></div>
