"Oh how merry! It's our fledging guild's first contract! I wonder who'll die this time! Be sure to bring their corpse back!"  Artorius' eyes flared up again and he began to cackle. "In any event, just head south down the main road, it's actually quite close to the guild hall you should spot it within a few hours! Good luck, and make sure to receive payment in full, we can't be doing work for free now can we?"  He let out another boisterous laugh before his eyes flickered out and he returned to his lifeless guise.
