Yumi and her crew made a tidy profit selling left over gear and providing their services to the towns people. While they weren't artisans or craftsmen per say, they provided crucial services to the working men and women in town. However it was about time to move on; war has come and there were going to be armies that needed feeding, services, and weapons. Yumi had traded the loot from last week for various supplies that would be useful for the various lords and towns folk, such as medicine, charcoal, and fish oil. She already knew a few towns where she could sell these things for a large profit, and surely there'll be plenty of opportunities to make more money on the side.

And more money is exactly what Yumi needed right now. While she had the supplies and she had her women to run the caravans, she needed horses. She only had enough horses to pull five carts while she needed seven if she didn't want to force a few horses to haul two wagons, slowing down their overall mobility. And time was money; a day wasted during travel is a day she'll miss her chance to sell her wares. She needed money quick but didn't have anything to sell that wasn't already part of her inventory. So Yumi went to the merchant's guild to see if there was any quick jobs she could handle that'll give her enough money to buy the horses she needed. That's when Yumi noticed another woman at the bounty board.

Yumi had given it a look before but the only bounty worth the job was one investigating some monster sighting. Yumi had no time to waste on chasing rumors of drunkards or superstitious people. But strangely enough this woman took that bounty and left, presumably to find other adventurers. Yumi wondered if this was a worthy gamble; if they split the money evenly between herself and maybe five people, Yumi would have enough money for some extra horses and be able to leave by tomorrow. However if it took longer than that, then Yumi would've wasted her time and be behind on her sales. [b]"Hmm... It's risky... But worth a try."[/b] Yumi didn't know the woman however but she seemed strong. So she watched the woman from afar to see how she handles herself. If Yumi liked what she sees, maybe she'll approach, or maybe she'll just get a few of her own girls and go monster hunting herself.
