Save for the sound of its mercs training outside and the sound of the guard arm wrestling with the commander, the main office of Durwith and Lorges was completely silent. It was this kind of almost-silence that put Durwith Bronzebeard in an industrious state, he was burning through the work on his desk like it was nobody's business. If he knew of this effect, Durwith would set the warriors standing idle to training and have Orthog arm wrestle Hamhock a lot more frequently. It was then that Durwith's twin brother and co-founder of their menace extermination firm walked through the front door of the office. "Brother" Lorges said happily "I found work for us". "What did you find?" Durwith asked without looking up from his work. "Your favourite fish monger is shipping some of his fine product to Larica" Lorges said "He's made it known that he's paying for protection. And you know that ogre that was being shipped in today?". "Let me guess" Durwith said as he pulled out 2 sheets of parchment and began writing orders on them "It escaped it's cage at the harbour and is now rampaging through the city". "You took the words straight out of my mouth, brother" Lorges said. "And I'm guessing its owner wants the thing brought down alive and is willing to pay for its recapture on top of the money the city guard will pay to whoever beats it as a token of gratitude" Durwith said. "I did hear the ogre's owner tell the leader of Henry's Hooligans that he'd make it worth their while if they took it alive. I reckon they're ogre food by now". "If he can't keep his beasts locked up, he doesn't deserve them" Durwith said as he finished writing the orders "Look lively, Orthog. You're needed". [hr] [hider=Group 1] Mercs: Orthog Robber's Bane. Shinon Star Hands. Stumpy Quick Bow. Jacoby. Loreth. Orders: There's an ogre rampaging in the city. You lot have to track it down and kill it before it can cause too much damage. And if you happen to see the thing's owner, tell him to invest in stronger metals for his chains and cages the next time he tries to transport ogres. [/hider] [hider=Group 2] Mercs: Dunwall Iron Shield. Baldrin. Arron. Enenra. Orders: In my opinion, Villem Gar sells the best fish in the city. Now Lorges tells me he's shipping his product to Larica. Pirate attacks are bad for business, so I want you to rent a barge and guard that cargo with your very lives. Understand? Also if you get the chance, tell Villem that I'd like pilchards this week and that the cod I ordered last week was as marvelous as it always is. [/hider]
