Henrik had arrived to Ubersreik a few ago, after leaving Altdorf after few weeks. He had given a noble's son a few fencing lessons, but the son had turned out to be a lazy student. Henrik had hoped that someone would have a job for a swordsman or a bodyguard, but there had been only cold shoulders. Henrik had been preparing to leave, but a witch hunter had put out a call for hired swords. Henrik had met a couple witch hunters, and they had been an over-zealous bunch of piss and vinegar. [i]I have my hopes up, but the witch hunter should be a man of reason if I am going to cooperate with him.[/i]

He had a vague idea of the Intelligent Guard's location. He had been to Ubersreik only a few times. Last time was with his light company, d. All clad in polished brest plates, uniforms and boots, armed with pistols and longswords and ready to ride out where they were needed. It had been the World's Edge Mountains and their doom. They had made a few stops across the way, but Ubersreik had been the last proper stop before they had set out to a march.

Henrik shivered as he remembered the details. Lieutenant who had served under him for a year had been torn limb from limb by an Ork. He had had wife and three children. Henrik had sent the newly-widowed a letter. He had to send dozens of similar letters. He wondered sometimes, did the families of the fallen ever curse his name. Did they blame him? Maybe.

Henrik had dressed his regular travelling clothes and a black beret. He wore his sword on his hip, and had the rest of his stuff in his backpack tightly packed. The backpack wasn't very heavy, but all the trudging around the streets with it made his back quite sweaty. After asking a couple times for directions from locals, he found his way to the tavern. He entered the establishment and scanned the room. He spied a witch hunter's hat on a larger table, and a man approaching middle-age and two companions. He started walking nearer with steady pace and asked the trio "I presume one of you is Helmut von Graff, the witch hunter who seeks a helping hand?"
