RP: Now Hiring! Friend Guide
@tempestmoon-tdpoc
Peccantum wasn't a fool. He was quite secure in that belief. Years of study and research affirmed, in his mind, that he was not a fool.
Since he was not a fool, he knew when he was out of his depth. Unfortunately, this was one of those times Peccantum had to admit that to himself. He was not qualified for this trip, with no magic to defend himself and no assistance should he get in trouble...
The area he needed to investigate was rather deep set in difficult to navigate terrain. There were beasts lied within, magical animals that would certainly get him injured, at the very least.
Not for the first time, Peccantum cursed his lack of magic.
Having a need to get to the ruins he were sure were inside, he decided he needed help. Help that came in the form of other people, unfortunately for him. There wasn't a soul in Xadia who would be willing to help him, especially if he let it slip what he was actually looking for. They would likely kill him instead...
But, Peccantum also knew that money could sway just about anyone. As irritating as the thought was, he would need to hire a guide. Someone who knew the area well, and someone who wasn't elite...
Over several weeks, Peccantum saved up as much money as he could. Both working jobs and using as little as possible, and in some less than legitimate means. Either way, the amount he came up with was... Decent.
So the search began for someone to hire. He was lucky, as it took less time than the previous endeavor. That was only due to the fliers posted everywhere nearby...
Peccantum followed the fliers, and asked a few people where his chosen guide would be and followed them cautiously, never too trusting of a stranger.
In the end, he ended up in a place he did not expect to be...
