The four companions, still relatively joyful at their success in passing through Ty's first hoop decided that if this was supposed to be like Dungeons and Dragons, they should probably go and try to find a quest. Brian and Christine decided since they were most likely to be accepted, they would go from bar to bar talking to the locals, while Mike and Joe were to look for posted ads and perhaps visit the local guilds. Meanwhile, Ty brought Dustin back out of the stableboy character and said, "Hey, not a bad job, but you could try to put up more of a fight next time." Dustin frowned, "That wasnt right man, my friend turned me into a horse and pounded me in the ass..." Ty grinned and said, "Dont worry, it's just roleplay." Dustin rubbed his sore hindquarters and said, "Well, I wanna be on the good guy's side, fighting against sorceresses, dragons, elven archers and centaur warriors isnt exactly a win-win situation..." Ty nodded and said, "I could try to insert you into their party as an NPC of my choice, but remember, as long as you maintain secrecy of who you really are, I will fix you up after anything bad happens. If you tell them who you are however, you are in the same position as them." Dustin nodded and said, "Okay." Ty smiled and waved his hand, turning Dustin into a beautiful young woman, muscular, slim, dressed in black leather armor and armed with a pair of daggers and a small wrist-crossbow. Dustin instantly gained knowledge on stealth, traps, bladework, and archery. Dustin grimaced as he looked at his new form and Ty said, "Hey, you asked for it. You are now Shira the Assassin, and remember, the crossbow darts in your left pouch are sleeping darts, the ones in your right pouch are poison darts. You also have a set on darts with mind control potion in your pack. Dustin nodded and instantly found himself kneeling in a temple in some guild.... Meanwhile, Christine and Brian had found very little, apparently a group of heros passed through not long before and cleaned out all the evil stuff around town. Joe found only advertisements for menial tasks and labor jobs. Mike had already talked to the theives guild, the warrior guild, and the mages guild, finding out much the same info as his friends, only one spot left, the Paladin's guild. As he stepped in, he saw a pair of warriors whispering to each other about something that was obviously very important. Mike approached and they quieted, suddenly they turned toward him, hands on their sword-hilts, one asked, "What business do you have here, Centaur?" Mike said cautiously, "Uh, me and my group of adventurers as looking for a quest to undertake, and we havent had much luck in finding one." The men looked at each other and said, "Are you in the party that killed old wizard Harker?" Mike hesitated, then said, "Yes, sir." The man laughed and the other one said with a smile, "Then you are alright with us, that old bastard was the last evil thing left in this town, but we had quite a bit of trouble doing anything about him." The warriors said, "Now, a quest, as you know, things are pretty good around here, but we do know of some demons wreaking havoc to the north of here near the red hills." Mike asked, "How far is that?" One of the men thought, "About 3 days journey from here, if you travel quickly." Mike nodded and said, "I'm sure we can handle it." The second man said, "One more thing, I'd like you to take one of our newest fighters with you.(shouting) SHIRA!" A young woman entered through an arched doorway and said, "Yes, sir?" The man said, "I want you to accompany this warrior and his friends up north, your first assignment is to help this centaur's party rid those farmers of the demons in the red hills. Dustin nodded and instantly knew the exact route to get their, and every detail about the path on the way. Mike looked at the skinny, yet muscular woman in front of him and shook his head, not knowing what to think, still, she was pretty sexy... Mike said, "Well, let's not waste any time then." Within minutes Mike had all his friends gathered in the town square, Christine looked at the other woman and said, "Who's that?"
