"Yes, Raphael is... noted," the girl said with an air of nervousness. Obviously, the administration side of the guild needed to have an accurate idea of someone's abilities to assess their rank, which tended to filter down to the counter staff--especially anyone whose rank involved a bodyguard of some type. Not that there was anything explicitly against the rules when it came to acquiring external help, but there had been one or two incidents in the past of an adventurer-turned-mercenary trying to muscle in on too many of the jobs without registering and incurring the extra fees. Really, Mellifleur wasn't even the guild's most notable necromancer.

It was possible that the half-elf just found the large armoured knight scary on his own account.

"Everything seems to be in order. We at the guild would like to remind you that counting bounties by bringing in heads has been against regulations since the Biting Incident, and wish you luck on your tasks."

The girl answering Ifrari seemed slightly confused--and far more average than her half-elven counterpart, being both fully human and a brunette. "Ah... I'm afraid that there are no detailed maps of a usable scale. From the patrols sent out from the capital when this first started, we can only confirm that the road immediately out of the capital is safe past the fork to Walverrest. We think that whatever is responsible must be operating in the Haesting Barrens, but..."

That still left most of the area between the two cities; between the numerous caves and ruins amongst the rolling hills, there were a [i]lot[/i] of places something could be hiding. Unless it was a monstrous sheep, it was unlikely to be hidden in plain sight.
