*A thin and muscular man stands in the center of the village. He shouts to all.*

Jason: I, Jason the fleet, once again call on all who will listen. I am in need of work. I am a skilled warrior and am the fastest in all the area. I would make a fine guard but am especially skilled at messemger and scout work.

My price is only the chance the prove myself and of course food. I am so sure of my skills that I also offer up this challenge. I will race any man who comes and if someone prooves to be faster than myself, which certainly none will, than I shall follow them and them alone without listening to any other offers. So any takers?
 
*A grim figure walks towards the center of the village. He proclaims*

Mariner: I, mariner, propose an invasion of the barbarian village to the North of us. I would need a scout, to spy on enemy position. Would you join this task force, and help slaughter the evil barbarians?
 
An old woman turns around:
You two think you are tough, eh? Never heard of you before. Slaughtering babarians?
*laughs out*
But maybe I have a job for both of you. I am in need of the "Salvia Maritimus" - plant. I heared rumors that they can be found in the far east at the coastline. I am to old to go there by myself and I have some children. I can´t let them be alone here.
Bring me the plant. You will get your reward then.
 
The Tough warrior flexes his muscles

Hmph, I will get your plant. Upon my return, I will make sure to demonstrate my superior strength.

Mysterious Traveler (NPC) hands Mariner a bottle of water

Mariner: Who the hell are you?
Mysterious Traveler: I am the beginning, and the end, the past, the present and the future.
Mariner: What the @$#% are you talking about lady, gimme the damn water and beat it.
Mysterious Traveler mysteriously fades away
Mariner: Ummmm...okay...
Heads towards eastern coastline, where Mariner finds a bunch of plants
Mariner: WHICH ONE IS THE $@#%^% PLANT!!!

Suddenly, he sees a shinney plant
Mariner: Hmmm...I guess this is the plant that old hag wants

Mariner: Sorry lady, but I got power, now, gimme ma reward
 
Jason: Well, I don't know what that is as I don't know anything about plants, so I can't go find your plant either. Now aout those barbarians. . .

*Kid comes running by. . .*

Kid: The despots dead! Someone killed the despot!

*Jason grabs the kid.*

Jason: What do you mean the despot's dead? Who killed the despot?

Kid: No one knows. It could be any body.

*Jason follows the noise of the commotion.*
 
Leskaria stands in front of Mariner.
With a smile she hands out a pitcher filled with red wine and a meal based of chicken and beans:

Here is your reward. I gotta go now and make some face cream. I have to many crow´s feet an wrinkels. The "Salvia Maritimus" is the only way to handle this. Trust an old lady.

By the way if you´ll be wounded sometimes you can come to me.
