(Open to all!) The Aegis (OOC welcome) - TheBlob - 10-07-2013

((A little prefacing: The bounty involved in this situation is part of a small event our company is using as a short story-line. While we have some of the details worked out, if you are interested in joining or participating in the story in some way or form, let us know! I think it'd be fun to open this to more than just our small, growing company!))

It had been a little more than a week’s time since they hadcome together to discuss their first pursuit as a group. She stared with tired eyes at the crinkled and worn parchment that had hung as a notice on their company board and the short list of names next to it that was now riddled with stricken-through words, notes and large question marks that followed a convoluted diagram of arrows to connect fragments together.
 
She shuffled them in her hands a few times as if changing their position in the small deck of papers would suddenly give her the answers she was looking for. She let the papers fall to the table after stacking them together neatly and moved her hands to her eyes, rubbing them wearily. Wide eyes blinked the world back into focus as she moved her gaze around the Quicksand, watching the adventurers and tradesmen confer over hot meals and tall drinks.
 
A rather short looking stoutly fellow made his way to thenotice board that hung near her table and she watched as he reached with lifted heels and stubby fingers to replace a few pieces of parchment. Her head canted as she watched him struggle to reach for a pin near the top of the board, his rounded belly pressed tightly to the wall, mussing many of the papers that he’d just worked to refresh. Frowning, she made her way over, tapping the stranger on the shoulder to grab his attention as she cleared her throat. She motioned to the pins as he turned to her; old eyes squinted to focus on her behind fallen glasses.
 
“Ma--?” the soft hoarseness of her voice surprised her and she swallowed, clearing her throat again. “My apologies, may I help you?”
 
The old man grunted a response, handing her the note and pinbefore shuffling off behind the counter again. She lifted the paper to its place, pinning it with much more ease than her predecessor.
 
She took a small step back looking over the new posts hereye catching a new copy of the bounty that had been torturing her at the table.
