QUILL

The first daily quest was the same as their first quest: delivering a crate to Yelsin across town. Simple enough and they managed to beg sandwiches for their reward instead of stew so they'd have something for lunch.

The second daily quest took place in a sewer outlet that emptied into a canal. Four brown slimes hung about outside the grate covering the sewer exit: one large slime about one meter high and two across, and three smaller versions about the size of a soccer ball.

Jane drew her knife and sounded confident as she moved in. "This should be easy enough, right? Slimes?" Noticing that he wasn't following her, she stopped and looked back over her shoulder. "You coming?"

"Um, no, I'll sit this one out. You go ahead."

"You're scared of slimes? Come on, Quill, this should be easy, no matter what your stats."

"Sure. Whatever. Ladies first."

She shook her head in mild disappointment and turned back to the slimes — then paused. She looked back once more, eyes narrowed. "Seriously, why aren't you helping?"

He could have let her keep going alone...but he wasn't that cruel. He relented. "If ice slimes are light blue, water slimes dark blue, and fire slimes orange, then what do you suspect brown slimes are?"

She glanced back at the monsters. "Wood?"

"When they're sitting outside a sewer pipe?"

"You mean — ew! Poo slimes!" She covered her mouth with her arm and hastily backed up. Then she shoved him forward. "Gentlemen first."

He whirled and pushed her in front instead. "No, no. I don't want to be sexist. Equality, fairness, all that. You have a hard-fought right to fight your own battles. I won't oppress you by stealing opportunities—"

"Quill!"

He chuckled.

She moaned. "Seriously, let's skip this one."

"We get a reward for completing all the dailies, though."

Quill raised his hands in front of himself like he was holding a book. "[Journal]." A book appeared in his hands. The page in front of him read:

He continued, "It may not sound like much, but that silver would feed anyone for a day if they were careful."

"What do you think gear tokens are?" Jane pulled one out of her pocket from the previous day.

"I can guess, but we'll find out later, I'm sure."

"Let's just skip the poo slimes. We have money for food today."

He eyed the brown slimes. They weren't close enough to aggro them so they were safely too far to smell them. He didn't relish the idea of getting himself and his partner covered in excrement for a paltry reward. Except... He sighed and turned the pages in the journal.
