Nuri nodded at Diane. [color=f26522]"Yes, ma'am, the Almaril job. Should be good to go: said unscrupulous types should know not to mess with the Dual Church. They'll back off once we make our presence known."[/color] Nuri turned around and was suddenly positively beset by an array of competent gold-seekers such as herself. A busy day, indeed! It didn't take long for adventurers of varying levels of eagerness and confidence to approach her. Nuri appraised each of them in turn, putting on a show of looking very discerning and critical at first. Then she dropped the facade.

	[color=f26522]"Five of swords, big, tall. Exactly what the doctor ordered. A perfect fit!"[/color] Nuri said to the Ingvarr that approached.

	Room for more? a Hundi asked. [color=f26522]"Always! You and Corinne should be good to go. Just make sure the rookie doesn't get into too much trouble."[/color] She said with a wink towards the white-haired girl. 

	The (self) acclaimed Seven of Coins, Trina, made her desire to join the party very clear. Nuri smiled broadly at her antics. [color=f26522]"With someone as skilled as you on our team, nothing can stop us. If we ever need any locks picked, you can just fly through the keyhole and unlock it from the other side."[/color] She teased lightly.

	A person she was very interested in showed up next. Clearly a Mayonite. [color=f26522]"Brother!"[/color] Nuri exclaimed. She went in for a friendly one-armed hug, shaking him jovially back and forth. [color=f26522]"Could always use a Cup, especially one of your background. Don't worry about the tallness, it's fine! The Ingvarr has that covered for all of us. Besides, you're plenty tall enough to swing around one of those awesome warhammers."[/color]

	Nuri cast a look over to the fairy who introduced herself as Neffy. Her smile became kinder and less bold. [color=f26522]"Well. We'll be happy to have you, Neffy." [/color]She covered one side of her mouth and leaned into whisper. She indicted Trina with her thumb. [color=f26522]"We're gonna need someone a little quieter to keep us balanced, anyway."[/color]

	Nuri cleared her throat, leaning back on the counter. [color=f26522]"Allow me to introduce myself! For those of you who haven't heard of me, my name is Nuri Tajra. I'm a Paladin of Reonite. I'm ranked as a Six, of Swords."[/color] She bowed. [color=f26522]"From the looks of it, me and the Ingvarr will be making up the frontline of our party, should we run into trouble."[/color]

	Nuri peered around the room as Diane asked her question. [color=f26522]"Any more than this, and we'd just become overencumbered. An adventuring party needs to remain small and light on its feet to remain effective. There's seven members of our party, Diane. We'll be striking out soon."[/color] She smacked the table, excited.

	[color=f26522]"But, I don't think I caught all your names. I've got Corinne," [/color]She pointed at the Wand, [color=f26522]"Neffy,"[/color] she pointed at the quiet fairy. [color=f26522]"And..."[/color] She looked at Trina quizically. She snapped her fingers a few times as if she was trying to remember.

	 [color=f26522]"Ooh...what was it? Dina? Trixie? Hmm...sorry about this, usually I'm quite good with names."[/color] Nuri smiled a tilted smile. [color=f26522]"Trina, that's it! Regardless, we'll need to know each other's names if we're going to co-ordinate effeciently."[/color] Nuri turned, yoinked the paper, and slid it across the table to Diane.

	[color=f26522]"Ready for your stamp. Job's as good as done."[/color] Nuri gave the new crew an encouraging thumbs up.
