<div class="floatleft">(http://th04.deviantart.net/fs20/PRE/i/2009/181/1/e/Kitsune_by_Pechan.jpg)</div>Jude logged in again, the process becoming routine.  Like falling asleep, he was lying in bed one moment, then blinking in the sunlight the next, spawned outside the inn he had logged out from.  Looking down at "her" body, she giggled, feeling herself up a moment, hands gliding up the silk-covered curves of an hourglass figure, stopping to heft the generous breasts artfully exposed in the low-cut kimono.  "Okay, enough of that for now, time to see if there are any new quests..."<br/><br/>Joining the main artery of the market road, Moshi wandered past shops and inns, feeling the sun, the occasional bump of the crowding people, hearing the murmur of trade and city life, even smelling the various foods and spices for sale, or the occasional unwashed lout one experienced for free.  She noticed one merchant, an NPC, stand out a bit.  Not only was she pleading more than hawking her baked goods, her general appearance just seemed brighter or more noticeable than the more drab people around.  There appeared to be at least a couple people willing to listen to her, and Moshi decided to walk up and hear the woman out.  Grouping quests was always faster and easier than solo.  Sometimes there was even a bonus to encourage it.<br/><br/>The baker was cute, she noticed, even as she explained her delicate infestation problem.  She was definitely desperate if the need to exterminate the rats was greater than avoiding any mention of tainting her flour.  Hopefully she'd throw it all out and start over.  Moshi looked the other two players over:  a man in leathers and light equipment, most likely some sort of rogue, and a tiefling, even more obviously marked than most.  She wore only light clothes, like herself, probably some sort of arcanist as well, then.<br/><br/>"Well, this looks like the first thing to do, obviously," she commented to them, musing with a finger on her cheek, "I think we'd be happy to help you with your little problem, miss, so don't worry your pretty little head.<em>I</em>, however, don't feel quite like trying to beat ROUSes off with a stick, so I'll do some snooping around first..."<br/><br/>Moshi wandered off a bit, checking her personal log of the neighborhood while looking for someone else who might have some knowledge or ability to get rid of the rats.<br/><br/>Knowledge (local) 11<br/>Diplomacy (gather information) 28
