Dead Men Walking (Ace and Giles)

[Isaac Errek]

Isaac strolled into the tavern, and looking around, spotted the bar on the other side of the room. Walking towards the bar and looked at the barkeep, a well dressed man, and said "Excuse me, but I'm looking for someone. Said he'd be here around this time, and he'd be wearing a fancy hat." The barkeep looked up and said " Ah, yes. You must be looking for Thomas. I believe he is in the southern portion of the room. " "Thank You, sir." Isaac responded. He walked to the southern part of the room, and seeing a man in a triangle shaped hat sitting next to a cerulean haired young man, figured that the older man must be Thomas. Walking forward, he tapped the older man on his shoulder and said "Excuse me, but are you the one who posted the request concerning the forest?" The older man jumped at first, but then turned and said " Thank heavens, someone came! I didn't think Wilhelm here could handle it himself. Now, before we get down to business, I would like to wait and see if anyone else comes. Have a seat." Thomas gestured at
the three empty chairs. "Fine by me" Isaac said, siting down in the middle of the three, now two, empty chairs.

[Ace Wilzor]

I've found my way back here. The origin of my loneliness.Ace had been traveling Elibe for the past several months. He had seen many new sights, people, and objects, but his travels would not stop him from returning to Laus. The cavalier was in search for money of course due to the tight earnings of a mercenary, but Ace had returned to begin his promise that he made when he left Laus. The promise to help rebuild Ostia and Lycia to its grand state. Ace wasn't sure whether or not he could really achieve this on his own. In fact, he knew it would take a group effort to restore Lycia, especially Ostia. However, Ace figured he could start helping by removing one of the key struggles plaguing Lycia currently, the problem of the monsters. His quest to assist his home country had brought him to Laus to defeat some of the deamons terrorizing his fellow citizens.

Ace parked his horse, Troy, in some nearby stables as he then ventured into a tavern hoping to find his employer. As Ace came up to the barkeeper and asked kindly where to find a man that sported a fancy hat. The barkeeper replied that he could find him in the southern part of the tavern. Ace nodded and thanked the man as he strode over to the said location. The hat was easily spotted as Ace came closer towards him. "Hello sir, I am here to help with the job proposal." The man nodded and told the cavalier to sit down in one of the seat next to the man with darker blonde hair. The employer told Ace that the man would be accompanying Ace in the mission. Without a moment's notice, Ace walked towards the man sitting down and sat in the seat to his right. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance sir, I am Ace Wilzor of Ostia. I will be joining you for this job. May I ask for your name?"

[Giles Brand]

Giles strode trough his old stomping grounds, recognizing the landmarks and familiar faces of Laus. He once was a royal knight and the people of the town still treated him with the respect deserving of one. Giles was glad to be home, even though it reminded him of his past military career. He had spent too much time serving lords and ladies all the while accomplishing just about nothing of value for the common man. In order to remedy this shortcoming of his past he now came to a tavern in search of a man who proposed a monster hunt of sorts. The particular monsters the task involved were strong, but dumb and slow. They were an enemy that Giles and his armored horse, Aurochs, excelled at battling. Giles entered the tavern and his eyes fell upon a table where a few men were gathered. He listened in to hear inquiries about a job proposal. Must be it.

Giles walked to the table and placed a firm hand on it before pulling out the last remaining chair and taking a seat. He shifted his weight in the chair to make himself more comfortable. His eyes looked briefly over the tables occupants and then he spoke. "This is the hunting job correct? You may call me Giles or Gil, doesn't matter. Now we should get this job started there are more than enough of us here." Giles carried himself as a busy man when in reality he wasn't. He turned his head to the door as if to indicate his eagerness to get to work.
