Red stared at the woman who'd just walked in. "Get....rich?" She repeated, starting to frown a bit. //Why would I want to get rich....again?//

"Rich?" Darkwood exclaimed, "Where are you from? and more than that why do you want us to come?" Darkwood sighed, he had been stiched up before by one of these type, he knew there ruse. They tell you they will make you rich then, when you have done the task they have asked, they leave you sleeping, or kill you.
The person that had tried that on him had not lasted very long, they tried to kill him in his sleep, but the only thing they had accomplished was sending him uncontious. The next day when he finnally awoke, with a really bad headache, he set out to find his so called companion.
That night he had seen a flicker of light from about a mile into the forest, there he walked, hoping to find some sort of life, even if it wasn't the person in which he was searching for, because by this time he was very thirsty and hungry.
When he arrived at the small campsite, he saw the figure of a man moving in the small yellow tent, he waited for about an hour after the torches had ghone out in the tent, then he moved closer and closer to the tent. He pulled out his sword and quietly made a slit in the tent, who would it be except his previous comrhade, he moved the sword to the mans throght and pushed it gently into hid adams apple. The man awoke with a start "What the..." The man said then just laid there staring, "So you found me." He slowly said. "You left me there for dead, that was your mistake, you didn't make sure." After Darkwood had said that, he moved his sword from the mans neck and with one swoop of it ther mans head was no longer attached to his body.
Darkwood suddenly remembered where he was, he just blinked.

"Yes, get rich. That's what I said. I am froooom uuuughhmmmm.... theeeee Farlands! Yes, the farlands. Lands that are... very... far...away..." she trailed off, for a moment, then picked up again with renewed vigor. "I want you to come because well, it'll be dangerous and I'm not exactly built for combat so... hired muscle will be a god thing. And I saw how you all fight last night so I was thinking you'd be perfect." She looked around. "I hear there's gonna be a lot of stuff there, not just gold but diferent kinds of treasures."

Rainlight listened quietly. She wasn't sure how much help she could be on a such a trip. As a general rule, dragonriders don't purposely get themselves into fights.
"You are looking to hire the four of us?" she asked.

//I've hardly been here for two days and I'm being hired..?// Red wondered, still just staring. She would do whatever the others did, she didn't want to have to find someone else to show her around, really. They seemed nice enough.

Darkwood thought for a minute. Finally Darkwood reluctantly said "Count me in then."
Althouh he hardly knew them, they seemed nice enough and he didn't really want them to get hurt. He sighed, looked up at the rest of the assembly and then looked back down at his feet.
Unknowing to all of the other people here he was rich anough as he was, but had been saving it since he had last done a trip to 'get rich.' He had been saving it not for a rainy day, but for his family, when he found the right person.

Rainlight took a moment to confir with her dragon before answering. She shrugged. "Rith and I will come along. Very few wild things will attack a dragon."
That was certainly true for her own world and she hoped it would hold for this one as well.

"Sure, I'll come," Red said, wondering what a dragon was.
Edit: Thanks, Rainy. I'm trying to get over the fact that they don't have dragons...lol

"Great! We leave tomorrow at first light. You have the rest of the day to take care of anything and everything here in the city. We meet here." She walked over to her bench and grabbed her pack, turned around and added, "Oh, we're going to be gone at least two weeks. Get anything you'll need for that time. And now, I'm going to take a bath. If you'll excuse me." With that, she hoisted her pack and cloak and went out the back to the bath house.

Rainlight shrugged. She didn't know. "I should take Rith to hunt. Do you want to come along?" she asked Red. "I would not mind the company."

Darkwood looked at Rainlight as she walked towards the door, with red following.
He started to collect his things, his bag and the compass and map he had out earlier. He walked out of the wooden door and blinked as the bright sunny daylight entered his eyes.
Darkwood walked through the town square, looking at the stalls set up there as he passed, as well as just browsing he was looking for somthing inperticular. He was looking for a knife, since he broke his last one on the way to this town. But first he had to go to the bank to withdraw some of his money to pay for it, for the sort he was buying was going to be very exspensive, he was looking for a silver shortsword, a perticuarly short sword, that he had ordered a couple months back by post.
Hewalked very slowly down the narrow winding road, looking from left to right. Finally he caught a glimpse of the mans stall, but he could not see his knife there.
He walked up to the owner of the stall and said "I am Darkwood, I ordered a silver knife a couple of months ago." The man on the stall replied "Ahh yes Darkwood, I have your knife." He pulled out a very nice silk covered box.
The man passed the box to Darkwood. Darkwood slowly opened the box to reveal the pure beauty of the knife. Pure silver with dragons engraved in each side to match the sword he carried. "That'll be 1000 gold coins sir. Darkwood pulled out two bags of gold, out of his bag. The bags contained 500 gold each. The man opened them looked in them both and then weighed them.
Finally after carfully looking at the scales he said "Gooday sir. OI hope you enjoy that peice of fine craftmanship."
Darkwood left the stall with a happy grin on his face.
