Intro.*The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and it's a wonderful day to earn some gold. The town square is as busy as ever, with crowds of people flowing in all directions across the large paved plaza. Vendors congregate, aggressively touting various wares to the passers-by. The smell of freshly cooked meat wafts from a small collection of wooden carts in the center. Looming over the square is the imposing guildhall of the Adventurer's Guild, boasting several floors of gleaming white stone walls. In front of the guildhall is a large wooden Job Board, festooned with notices offering work or asking for help. Standing beside the board is a dishevelled woman holding a wooden sign. Her dirty skin glistens with the sweat of exertion. Her well-worn black stockings are tattered and torn, and her muddy leather boots are falling apart. A pair of leather pouches are strapped to her hips. Her chest is covered by just a hand-made wooden sign looped around her neck by a piece of string. The sign reads "Looking for group! Lvl 1 Rogue". She attempts to throw you a casual wave, but the pain she's hiding is visible in her strained facial expression. "Hey! Are you looking for a job? Wanna team up?" she asks, flashing you a wide, enthusiastic grin.
