Aster shuffled her feet as she stood in front of the fancy house, feeling immensely awkward as she waited. Three stories tall, with a wide metal fence and lush garden, she had rarely spent this much time around any place this luxurious. It felt like the passersby were judging her clothing, but she hoped that was just in her head. The fence gleamed with golden filigree at its top, and Aster suspected those parts were real gold, not just paint.
Brushing off her clothes for the tenth time as she waited, she pondered the quest ahead. She wasn’t an amazing fighter by any means, but at least she was handy for care and comfort. The challenges of cooking on the road were exciting, and she had never been to Stargazer Village before, despite it being closer to her home of Moonveil than Eclipse City. All she knew was that the skies were beautiful out there, and that she at least was looking forward to.
She had been informed by the noble that they would find a second escort for the journey, since she had no one to recommend but herself. They had warned her that bandits were fairly likely to appear, so she hoped they had picked someone gifted in more offensive arts than hers as her pair. She had picked up a new trick while studying in Eclipse City though, and if she used it right she at least wouldn’t just be a burden in battle.
As Aster waited outside the gate she could hear the noise from inside the estate of servants scurrying around to do the final preparations for their master’s journey, bags shuffling and doors opening and closing. As she listened she heard a loud clank followed by a quick string of swears as someone dropped and likely broke something fragile. Still, it was almost time to go and there was no sign of her partner yet.
Quest Name: Royal Escort
Participants: Two or more
Location: Anywhere
Post Requirements: 4 post per person, 200 words per post
Reward: +1 Renown
Description: A local noble is in need of an escort from one city to the next. With the world getting crazy, all kinds of dangers have become more common on the open road. They are willing to pay good money to anyone who can transport them to their destination. But be careful, their fears are valid, for bandits, wolves, and all kinds of creatures of the wild lurk right around the bend. All you need to do is make sure they get from their home city to the neighboring city alive, and unharmed if you can manage.
