As the group arrives in a small town on the border, Dahlia hops off her horse and looks around "driftwood.. we've made it!" she turns back to her friends, Both of which were almost falling off their pony's.
Tyson groans and slides off his horse "you didn't mention it would take us sixteen hours to get here!" he grumbles as he slowly leads the horse in, Teagan started snoring well laying on his pony, Dahlia ties the horses up at the stable and drags Teagan off into the mud "wake up idiot!" as she dunks him into a trough. Teagan sputters and pushes her away "I'm awake I'm awake!" he leans on the wall near by coughing "Ack disgusting!" Tyson chuckled enjoying this,
Dahlia shrugs "oh calm down Teagan it's not so bad, "she goes on and walked inside of the Inn, Tyson soon followed still chuckling, Leaving Teagan to scramble in after them. The three sit down to a meal and Dahlia looked over a letter "we're here a day early so we can all relax for now" she then downs a bowl of eleven stew "tch so little meat.."
As the group enjoyed their supper, A mysterious man approached them.
He leaned on their table staring down at them, "you seem like Adventurers" he queried and shifted. Dahlia looked at him and smiled and offers her hand "I'm guessing your the guy offering the money, awesome! what's the job?" he looked at her hand and dismissed it.
Tyson looked uncomfortable and glances to see Teagan was still stuffing his face, "tsk.. Teagan's no help, and dahlia seems to trust him, but he's way to shifty.." he thinks and watched the man's movements, The man continued " you will be heading out to the sand bar, to the capital city and then look for this" he slides a photograph over to them, in the photo was a mystic forge of some kind.
Dahlia looked at it closer "that is extremely vague but sounds fun to me, lets go it!" she smiled and put the photo in her bag, Teagan looked up "huh oh uh sure" Tyson groans "idiot" and he leans back in the booth, The man turns "I'll be seeing you when your done" and waved as he leaves they're view. Tyson looked at the other two "okay that was shifty to you two right? right!?" he says nervously, Dahlia sighed "I know it's weird but we need the job, how bad can it really be?" Teagan cuts in "yeah and besides we're badasses we can handle anything" Dahlia and Teagan drink to that, And even grumpy Tyson can't help but smile and cheer to them.
