PF stretched, twisting his head and feeling a satisfying crack in his neck. "Goddess it feels like I haven't been doing anything for a long time." he muttered to Ayrah, who nodded. "And when we do finally get a job bulletin, it's in a place like this." "I know what you mean master." she said, glancing around at the shady looking bar they were sitting in. The place had a mean feel about it, with most of the patrons looking liek they'd rather split your head open than share a brew with you. Most had sent a less than moral look towards Ayrah, but had quickly looked away when they saw the size of PF's sword next to her. "But why would they choose such a run down town as this one to ask us to meet them?" PF shrugged. "I've no clue. The postman only gave me a letter saying for us to meet someone here because they'd make it worth their while." As if on clue, a man hobbled up, cloaked in black, with long stringy white hair surrounding an old wrinkled face. The man smiled at them, revealing several teeth missing. "PF? Ayrah?" he asked them, his voice wheezy. PF nodded. "That's us." "Good, good! I come to you with an offer I believe you will not refuse. An offer to find riches, wealth, power, all for a small requirement on your part." PF snorted. "What? Some rich kid's chef go and cook brocoli and the kid wants him thrown in jail? Sorry, we've got better things to do than track him down." "Oh, but what if I told you by joining the team my master's putting together you'll be able to see your wife again?" the old man looked at Ayrah. "Or to go and prove to your home kingdom you can survive on your own?" PF's eyes narrowed, and his hand movd back towards his sword. "How do you know about that?" he asked suspiciously. The man only laughed, handing over a slip of paper with an address on it. "Questions will be answered if you show up." is all the man said. PF glanced at Aryah. Not many people knew about his or her past, and the fact that this man did was worrisome. Turning back, he was suprised to find the man had disappeared. "What do you think?' he asked Ayrah.
Ok, I think it'd be best if your characters start off with getting the letter and meeting the old man. Hopefully this one'lll run longer

Ayrah looked at the man, attempting not to let her confusion at his knowledge of her past show. "I dislike how he says he'll tell us 'in time'. Makes me wonder who he got his information from," the apprentice said, but shrugged one shoulder before crossing her legs in a fashion the half-betrayed her upbringing. "However, I don't suppose it would hurt too much if we heard his proposition. Listening never caused too much harm."
