Before the rider can even get out a "Why are you doing this?" he was pelted from afar by wind magic and arrows. Then Eric charged at him but the both of them miss each other, somehow.

Upon knocking on the door, it slowly creaked open to reveal a brown haired youth sitting in front of a strange device making tapping sounds.

"And then after Eric and the Rider whiff each other Caius visits this house and..."

The youth paused and turned, looking aghast when he saw Caius. He hurriedly grabbed something on his desk and shoved it into Caius's hands.

"You didn't see anything, you got that? Say one word and I erase you from existence! Now take that and get lost!"

Caius got kicked out of the house!
Caius got Tiena!

Ava finds that the house is both empty and unlocked. A single black tome sits on an otherwise empty table. Must've been left behind by a mage who must be well on their way to Eslana by now. No one'll miss it, right?

Ava got a Worm tome!


"Stop! You violated the law!" is all Dale heard before a javelin whizzed by his head. While he was busy counter attacking, one of the swordswomen ran up and stabbed him.

Meanwhile, the Rider and the other swordswomen ganged up on Eric, with the swordswoman biting off far more than she could chew.

Soon enough the group was forced out of the room as yet another bunch of eager recruits had come to sign a contract with the witch. When it came time to turn in for the night the group was led to a room holding exactly four beds and were told to get right to bed, they'd be up early tomorrow. How Sybil Hallewell had enough space in her mansion to house all her recruits was a mystery. The next day, true to their word, the group was woken up shortly after dawn, given a small breakfast, and sent on their way to the trading town of Penrith. The journey there was uneventful, however; the day was still young.

When they finally did arrive, it was clear something was wrong. The Ludohan military was crawling over the town and some shouting could just barely be heard from the northwest.

"I'm telling you buddy, you better step off if you know what's good for you. These goods are mine and I'm not gonna hand 'em over without payment. So unless you're gonna out pay my client, which I sincerely doubt you can, back off my merch!"

"Insolent pest! As a commander of Ludoh's military, I demand you hand over your goods this instant or I'll have you arrested!"

"Not gonna happen, oldtimer. Besides, you'll have to catch me first."

"Wha-!? Dammit! Men, after him! Don't let him escape!"

Meanwhile...

"Ugh! The nerve of that man! Who does he think he is that he can so brazenly approach me and grab my hand!? He deserves more than what he got from my palm!"

"Worry not Lady Victoria, he shall spend the rest of his days in prison for his brutish treatment of you."

"Good. The less of his kind the better!"

---

Meanwhile still...

*Sigh* "What's with youths fightin' all the time? It's one thing to rough around a little bit, but to actually fight with swords!? That's too much. I sure hope some time in jail'll cool that kid down..."

"I suppose the plan is the same as any other adventure involving a dungeon: explore everything."

Go to the door in front and inspect it for traps.

Name: Typhos
Gender: Male
Class: Pyromancer
Skills: Fire Magic (+1), Explosion Magic (+2), Wind Magic (+1)
Feat: Pyroclasm: Light's everything 5 feet in front on Typhos on fire.

Sybil switched her gaze between the group as they introduced themselves. Her expression remained neutral throughout the entirety of it, though her eyebrows raised ever so slightly at the mention of Cedric Altien.

Ava sits, but looks rather fidgety as she does so. The situation wasn't terribly familiar; most of her experience with big houses like this was in decidedly different circumstances. "Ava Ferrer. Um, do you mind if I take a look at those books?"

"Perhaps if you preform well, I will let you look through my personal collection; however, at this moment, no."

"Now, with introductions out of the way, let's get down to business."

From the papers on her desk, Sybil produced four contracts and handed them to the group for them to read over individually.


"I will be short and to the point. If you chose to work for me, you will do as instructed and nothing else. If that means hauling the entire contents of this mansion to Eslana then you will do it. If it means fighting bandits and other unsavory thugs every waking moment then you will do it. If you do this, I will reward you with 10,000 Gold or 5,000 Gold, depending on what the new Rotation does with the Magic Ban; however, if you do not follow through to the end, you will get nothing. If you agree to my terms, sign your contracts and return them to me. I already have a task for those who stay."

No sooner had Eric knocked on the door than it opened, a woman standing on the other side.

"You must be the newest applicants. Come in, come in, the doorway is no place to be discussing your contract."

The woman led the group down a long hallway, past numerous doors, all securely shut, and into the only open room in the hall. She gestured the group to sit down as she sat behind a desk with various books and papers neatly placed on it. There were two bookshelves packed with books behind her and a window to her right. If someone were to glance out the window they could see the entire area in front of the mansion.

"As you have likely already discerned, I am Sybil Hallewell and I will be your employer should you choose to work for me. Now, why don't you introduce yourselves?"

Eric recovers up to 16 HP!
