Episode One

There are many people here in the guild, more than I feel comfortable with having around at all times, but there is nothing to be done. We are all here under the same cause, so to speak. Though I heed my suspicions, I can recognize that the people here mean well.
 
Now that we are a certified party, our Quest Auxiliary, Elawraek, has sent us on what could best be described as a quest to fetch basic necessities. He sent us to the guild's Arcanist, Orcn Mossy Grab-Grab Orryn Musgraben, who then sent us out into the Capital to retrieve some mana crystals. Though little more than a chore, I recognize this as a job befitting of our positions as new recruits.
 
So it's not my place to question.
 
As agreed upon, we stopped at Zall's Enchantment Emporium to pick up basic supplies where the shop keep, Zallaman, apparently had a very special item for me. An amulet ( Noyade's Amulet ) that he claimed was given to him by a "little birdy" and could tell me nothing more. While I have always been aware of the precariousness of my position, and the relative state of my anonymity, this is the first time that The Flight has done anything but strike without warning upon discovering my location. Hopefully I will have time to look into this matter once things with the guild have settled.
 
Kite, I wonder if you are well.
 
I did not quite care to pay much attention to the rest of our journey with the other three willing to take the lead, I will admit. My eyes strayed to alleyways and rooftops. I am not quite sure if I look forward to the day my new guild affiliation will take me away from the Capital, or if these binds I've willingly walked into will be my undoing.
 
In any case, the mana crystals for the guild's Arcanist were fetched with moderate ease - though if I see another moving painting again in my life, I will do more than put a single arrow hole into it.
