There has been a sign posted in the freeswords guild. A request has been made that all peope interested in alittle exploration to arrive at a set location to speak with the employeer of the job. The location is a smiple cave entrance, there are two heavily armed guards and a fox is sitting at a camp table and in a chair.
Bite slithers to the set location and asks for the employer, finally coming to the fox at the camp table. "Excuse me sssweetie i'm here about a job who do I speak to?" she hisses.
Arriving alone, Orso looks over the entrance to the cave. He has a massive two-handed swordstrapped to his back, the eight foot bear wearing simple but well-made armor, tunic and trousers. He moves over to the table, then to the vulpine, "So. We're going to be exploring a cave? Do you have any idea if there might be any dangers? Possible cave-ins? Hostile creatures?"
Fefneir wanders to the location to speak with the employeer. Following along with Bite,nodding to her Can always count on Bite to know the way to a job that needs done.
Walden the Armadillo shows up in chainmail and appears unarmed aside from the metal-plated gloves he wears. He has a pack over his hard plated back obviously carrying useful supplies. He looks entirely excited and eager, all wide-eyed and raring to go. "Did I make it?" he asks hopefully, seeing a couple others arriving as well as the fox and guards seated.
Not too far behind the Armadillo comes Felix wearing heavy armor of his own, a warhammer and rifle strapped to the Deer's back. Remaining quiet for the most part, he does offer a wave to Walden when he sees it, along with the others that are nearby in the area.
A slight adjusting from the fox as she looks at the two guards and nods to them. "Welcome. I'm known as the Broker. I have alittle task for this lovely group. There is rumor to have been creator ruins inside. But I've not been able to locate it. So, I would like us, I mean you guys, to go inside and find the ruins. THere are very old markings on the walls that indicate that the rumor is quite possibly true."
Bite smiles. She'd like to make out of this with some treasure if she can. "Sure sssweetheart we'll find it for you. Do we get a guide? Is there any danger?" she hisses and watches the fox.
Fefneir perks a large bat ear at taht, "A creator ruins you say?" Stroking his chin lightly could be an intresting to sight to see. Looking from bite to the fox waiting for them to answer the woman's questions.
Orso grunts in response, studying the entrance with more interest. "That, I would like to see. I am wondering what we might find inside then." He glances down at the reptillian woman, studying her curiously before looking back to the Broker.
Walden offers a wave back to Felix and a friendly smile. "Oh good. I was hoping I would get to work with you sometime soon," he says and offers his deer friend a pat on the back. He then nods to the fox, listening to what the Broker says about this task. "Wow, that's pretty exciting. Oh, think about all of the exciting history we could potentially uncover!" he exclaims, looking around at the others assembled with a big grin.
"Treasure sounds rather appealing." Felix remarks to Bite's statement, smiling slightly "The history we could find would be good too, of course." He adds before glancing back to Walden and nodding briefly "Put your skills to good use hopefully!" The Deer chuckles softly, obviously rather good natured overall.
He motions towards his two, evil looking guards. "Well these two gents refuse to enter the cave because they are scared, I'm all for enterting and all but but thats what you guys are here for. You'll be.. rewarded.. for your services." there is something to his words, something he is not saying.
Bite nods. "Alright then sssweetie. Anything else to tell us?" she asks as she checks her dagger and moves towards the exit, looking back for any last statements.
Fefneir shrugs a bit to that, "We'll see what you havn't told us soon enough, if you really want it handled this is probly your best chance to speak up." Moving to go with Bite, his hand resting on an odd sword at his hip.
Orso grunts softly, and since he happens to be part of the same group as Fefneir, he moves to follow behind the bat, checking the looseness of his new blade in its scabbard.
Walden rubs his hands together and gives a couple nods. "Well, if it's a dark place with a couple of frightened fellas, then chances are there's a reason why folks like us were hired, right? I'm sure whatever it is, we can handle it if we work together and combine our strengths," says the optimistic armadillo. He seems pretty content to stay near Felix for now; most likely that's the only person here he knows. "Is there anything else? Or are we all set?"
"Well, rewards are good, indeed." Felix remarks, not mentioning the fearful guards or even asking what they might be afraid of. "Indeed! The key, regardless of what happens, is that we all stick together and not get seperated, that's when bad things happen." He remarks while nodding in agreement with Walden "I'm ready anytime, I suppose." As if to clarify, he reaches for the warhammer at his back.
"Ah, good good, do enjoy the cave.. you'll need torch light to see so I hope you came prepaired with some form of light." The mand the guards pace glances and then they all move towards a black tent.
The the cave mouth now unguarded seems to have the sound of running water inside, and the feel that the wind is being drawn inside. It's dark, it's dank, and it's possibly fully of enemies.
Bite approaches the black tent, and pulls out a prepped torch, sparking a flame effortlessly to ignite it. She looks to the others and offers to use her torch to light anything they may have that needs a light.
Fefneir draws out a torch from his pack and lights it from Bites, "Thank you dearie, Well shall we go see what has them so scared stiff?" Looking at the cave, feels more like going home to him, he's a bat after all.

Orso steps up behind Fefneir and says to him, "I hope we can trust you to lead us out if we lose our light somehow, right Fefneir?"
Walden offers a nod and a smile to Felix. "Glad you're here," he says to him, and he pulls out a torch of his own which he ignites using some of his own power. Perhaps it was just more convenient at the time. "I think we'll be fine, folks. Let's just make sure we don't get in over our heads; if we come across something too dangerous, like a chasm or pit we just can't handle, let's not get overconfident."
For exploring a cave, Felix doesn't seem quite preparred as he doesn't even seem to have a pack with him to pull a torch from within! Sans torch, the Deer stays with someone who does have one, and someone he knows, in this case, Walden. "Yeah, who knows what could be at the bottom, spikes, or worse!"
The cave is deep, the deeper everyone walks into the confides of the moutain passage, they come across many passages, and massive open caverns with broken rock and uneven ground, some seeming rafted into an almost stare-like path ways in some places.
Bite takes note of the many passages and occasionally illuminates deeper into an offshoot with a bit of fire magic. She slithers down a winding path and examines the walls for any markings that will give them clues that they are going the right way.
