A Meeting in Verbobonc
Rodin and Masiry went to the place where the notice mentioned and surprisingly noticed quite a few number of people there. There seemed to be three groups: two groups with 3 people each and another group with 2 people.
One of the groups looked a bit rough and were getting impatient. The other 3 person group seemed to be more cultured and waited for the announcement to start. The other pair of adventurers, who looked like a Cleric and a Sorcerer, were also quiet but they seemed determined as well.
Finally the door opened and an old man stepped out, pleasantly surprised by how many people showed up to do this quest. He explained that an important merchant in the town of Oakhurst had recently complained to the Verbobonc city council that her two children were missing after agreeing to go with a Paladin called Sir Bradford. She even went so far as to say the Paladin tricked them on this adventure. Even though this seems crazy, the merchants of Verbobonc decided to offer a reward of 100 gold for the return of Sir Bradford to end this problem quietly.
Also, there is a further reward of 500 gold per child, or at least 200 gold for each of their signet rings, if anything happened to them. The merchant is willing to pay for this.
After discussing for a bit, the rough group went home, saying that it was not worth the adventure. The other group were thinking about it, but decided to stay in Verbobonc.
That left Rodin, Masiry, Relord and Kasas, who grouped together to make an adventuring party.
After discussing quickly, they decided to leave within the hour for Oakhurst. They quickly got their backpacks together and other supplies and headed out.
They realized that they could only go about 2 hours out of town before they needed to camp.
