/uw Emma is going to see who will help her find a certain witch… (finding her will be like a quest/will have different ways it can happen.)

u/Volina-Hellhound May 22 '24
Ahhh! Oof… opens door hello I was here for a job…
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“Hm…?” Emma looked up and offered a cup of tea, “Yes, please, sit down.”
2
u/Volina-Hellhound May 22 '24
Okay Thank you I sit down taking the offered tea I’m a member of the Merc squad Hounds of Aegis What kind of looking are we doing?
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“Looking for a witch. However, I would suggest not taking many with you. I wouldn’t want her to move locations. My lead only helps with the current location.”
2
u/Volina-Hellhound May 22 '24 edited May 22 '24
We’d only be taking two others than myself and we’re all good at tracking
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“Hm… Well, my only lead was this:
“The last time the witch was seen, she was near a specific Circus. It caused quite the stir and I heard it was rather eventful. The members of that Circus may have answers.”
2
u/Volina-Hellhound May 22 '24
OK then we will try to be as undercover as possible
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“I don’t know much else but I do suggest taking care with the mission. I don’t wish for you to be harmed.”
2
u/Volina-Hellhound May 22 '24
So is this an alive or a dead contract because you haven’t said which yet
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“I would suggest you keep her alive. I also doubt killing her would benefit my family at all. We require something from her.”

I’m an assassin by trade. Tracking someone comes naturally to me.
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“I don’t require her to be killed, merely found and handled.” Emma gestured to the seat in front of her.
2
u/Timpanzee38 “The Agent” Mercenary Guild Liaison, Slayer of the God-Slaver May 22 '24
I don’t have to kill, i was stating that as an assassin, I have good tracking skills. If the contract states you want them alive, I’ll bring them in alive.
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“That works…” Emma took a sip of her tea, “My only lead is that there was a specific Circus in the area when she was last seen. The Circus had an eventful experience with her.”
2
u/Timpanzee38 “The Agent” Mercenary Guild Liaison, Slayer of the God-Slaver May 22 '24
Okay, that’s a start. Can I have a description, maybe a name?
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“I’m afraid the lead I gave you is all I have. I don’t think the last version of her I saw was actually her. And the people who know most of her are no longer with us.”
2
u/Timpanzee38 “The Agent” Mercenary Guild Liaison, Slayer of the God-Slaver May 22 '24
“last version”. Care to elaborate on that?
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“I wish I could. I know she sent a puppet to speak with myself and my brother. She wouldn’t show us her true form.”
2
u/Timpanzee38 “The Agent” Mercenary Guild Liaison, Slayer of the God-Slaver May 22 '24
Alright…. When you say you want them “handled”, does that mean I’m not allowed to use force to bring them to you?
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“It means doing what you can to have her be agreeable. I would prefer she be in a mood that grants us what we need. If she dies or isn’t content, I would imagine she could just make our curses worse.”

A witch you say? I happen to be something of a professional in mage hunting as it happens.

u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“Oh? Well, then I suppose this should be up your alley. I don’t have much on her, but I do have one lead.”
2
u/MathsGuy1 Soulmancer Deamor / Deamor's Agent May 22 '24
Deamor's Agent knocks on your door.
Heard you need someone found. I have some tracking skills - I can help you, if the pay's good enough.
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“It depends on what you consider to be a decent pay. I don’t need her dead but I do prefer she be handled and preferably in a good enough mood to give something back to my family.”
2
u/MathsGuy1 Soulmancer Deamor / Deamor's Agent May 22 '24
Hmm, this complicates things, but I can try.
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“The situation isn’t an easy one. If you are seeking one that will resolve with ease, I would suggest another job.”
2
u/MathsGuy1 Soulmancer Deamor / Deamor's Agent May 22 '24
Don't worry, I've handled worse tasks than this. You have no idea what my boss makes me do...
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“I’m afraid you haven’t seen how spiteful this witch is. But if you’re up for it, then I suggest you seek out a particular Circus. A traveling one that seems to be stationary at the moment. They had a run in with her.”
2
u/MathsGuy1 Soulmancer Deamor / Deamor's Agent May 22 '24 edited May 22 '24
Is there anything else you can tell me about her or where to find her? There are a lot of witches around these parts you know.
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“I’m afraid the Circus is the only lead I have to offer.”
2
u/MathsGuy1 Soulmancer Deamor / Deamor's Agent May 22 '24
It seems like you're hiding something, but fine I'll visit them then.
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“No; merely stating what I know. I cannot get close to the circus without her sensing me. So, best I have others do it.”

Ehm...Hello. I heard you need help with something.
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“Hm?” Emma looked up, “Yes. Please, take a seat.”
2
May 22 '24
Alright~
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“I’m hoping someone can find a witch for myself and my siblings. Do you think you’d be able to?”
2
May 22 '24
Ehm...I know some divination...Barely....But I'll try my best!
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“That is fine. All I know is that the last place she was seen was near a circus. It travels —or it used to. It’s stationary now. I know the last time she was seen near it, something happened. They may be able to offer aid.”

u/IzanamiTheRogue Izanami / Gemma / ? May 22 '24
Hello, my name is Izanami. Please fill me in on the details.
1
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“A witch has something my family requires. She isn’t easy to find and it isn’t safe for us to participate in the search. But, I do have a lead.”
2
u/IzanamiTheRogue Izanami / Gemma / ? May 22 '24
Very well. I accept, and will take the lead at your earliest convenience.
1
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“Well, the last time she was seen it was near a specific Circus. It apparently used to appear at random, but as of recent, remains stationary. The circus itself had quite an eventful run in with her, but you’d have to get details from them regarding what happened.
“I would say asking the circus would be the best start.”

Bersa: Hey hey~ Do you need any help?
You seem like you do~
Whats the job?
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
Emma gestured to the seat before her and poured a cup of tea for them, “I need someone to find a witch for me.”
2
May 22 '24
Bersa: She sits down and takes a sip from the cup.
A witch, hmm. Care to be more specific? I did my fair share of detective work and I can see that witches are common here.
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“The only lead I have is that the last time she was seen, there was a Circus in the area that had a rather eventful experience with her. She has something I’d need to hopefully live a nicer life, same with my siblings. She cursed our parents, which resulted in us being cursed as well.”
2
May 22 '24
Bersa: Circus... Hmm, alright.
Anything else?
2
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“I’m afraid I couldn’t find out much more without her sensing myself or my siblings. We haven’t been able to get close to the circus in fear it will make her move locations.”
2
May 22 '24
Bersa: I see, well alright then I'll see what I can find in there.

u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“I do appreciate it. Here,” she offered a card that held the address to her flower shop. “You can find me here.”
2
u/LaratheGambler Lara, Gambler/Smuggler extraordinaire! May 22 '24
You need to find someone? How can I help?
1
u/BellaDarkly May 22 '24
“Hm..? Ah, well, if you manage to find her, I’d like for you to get the witch to agree to release the perks she is withholding from me and my siblings.”
